Synopsis

Gutai Art Movement was an Avant-Garde collective that sought to break traditional art forms and experiment with techniques. Its philosophy emphasized the connection between art matter and the human spirit, advocating for innovation and unrestraints in art— remaining as an emblem of creativity, characterized by unthinkable techniques and deep philosophical engagement. Merging innovative techniques with philosophical engagement, they distinguished themselves by addressing post-war themes such as identity, individual expression, freedom, and materiality, emphasizing artistic processes and community gatherings.
Featuring iconic works from Tsuyoshi Maekawa, Shuji Mukai, Takesada Matsutani, and Yuko Nasaka, this exhibition consists of innovative techniques and social themes ingrained into the Gutai movement where viewers will be able to encounter the works of these artists who navigated the complexities of contemporary life in changing Japan.
