EXHIBITION OVERVIEW
Zipangu – Contemporary artists who have run through the Heisei era
The Heisei era is sometimes called the "Lost 30 Years," but it was also a time when exceptional talent in fashion, architecture, anime, manga, and contemporary art flourished, earning global recognition.
This exhibition offers a chronological exploration of Japanese contemporary art that emerged during the Heisei era. It is a restructured and expanded version of the "Zipangu" exhibition, originally held in Japan in 2011-2012.
The original Zipangu exhibition aimed to rediscover the allure of Japanese contemporary art. It also sought to heal and rejuvenate Japan through the power of art in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
In this updated Zipangu exhibition, we bring together works from leading artists who have shaped the art world from the Heisei era into the Reiwa era. These artists have developed unique expressions by blending and transforming Japanese culture within the broader context of global contemporary art. Their works reflect the complexity and diversity of their times.
As you explore the art on display, we invite you to reflect on the Heisei era and enjoy the contemporary art that continues to evolve today. (from Exhibition page)

ARTIST
teamLab
teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. Through art, the interdisciplinary group of specialists, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects, aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world, and new forms of perception.
In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perceptions of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity.
teamLab exhibitions have been held in cities worldwide, including New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Silicon Valley, Beijing, and Melbourne among others. teamLab museums and large-scale permanent exhibitions include teamLab Borderless and teamLab Planets in Tokyo, teamLab Borderless Shanghai, and teamLab SuperNature Macao, with more to open in cities including Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Hamburg, Jeddah, and Utrecht.
teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Asia Society Museum, New York; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; and Amos Rex, Helsinki.
