Making the invisible visible: art and protest in 1960s and 1970s Japan
Between the mid-1950s and the 1980s, the Japanese art scene was criss-crossed by multiple trends, some of which are already well known in Europe. But others have yet to be discovered, particularly those that play on codes that are less easy to disorientate. Such is the case of Dadakan's art of nudity and Akasegawa Genpei's tomason, to which two recently published books are devoted.
