Exhibition ‘Jikken Kōbō: Experimental Workshop’ Opened

On January 12, the exhibition titled ‘Jikken Kōbō: Experimental Workshop’ opened at the Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura (until March 24). It was a comprehensive introduction of Jikken Kōbō, a group of young artists formed in 1951 to cross genres such as art, music, lighting and literature. It revealed a fuller picture of the group, who had not been researched since their activities crossed several genres of expression. It travelled to the Iwaki City Art Museum (April 20 – June 2), the Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art and Design (July 13 – September 8), the Kitakyushu Municipal Museum of Art, Riverside Gallery (October 5 – November 10) and the Setagaya Art Museum (November 23 – January 26, 2014).
