Co-presented by NYU Grey Gallery and the Japan Society Gallery, the exhibition features 29 of the most influential Japanese artists of the Seventies and highlights the execution of the camera to experiment and shift artistic practices of the time, through photographs, books, paintings, sculptures, media-based installations and even personal journals from the artists. The works exhibited reflect a period of political, social and economic turbulence in Japan. The constant feeling of uncertainty that loomed over the Japanese artists inspired them to react and document their emotions through the lens of a camera. The curator of the exhibition, Dr Yasufumi Nakamori, seamlessly brings this vast collection together to demonstrate the power that photography played in the formation of conceptual art.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25846 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Moriyama_Asahi-Camera-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"Moriyama, Asahi Camera\" width=\"716\" height=\"515\" \/> Daido Moriyama, Asahi Camera<\/p>\n<p>Toshio Matsumoto\u2019s experimental film \u201cFor the Damage Right Eye\u201d sets the scene for the show as a whole and illuminates the social turmoil slowly generating in the early 1960s. While Daido Moriyama\u2019s distressed and blurry photographs of car accident aftermaths from his series \u201cAccident\u201d (1969) slowly reveal the breakdown of the traditional use of photography and even more so, traditional Japanese values. The photographs were part of Moriyama\u2019s monthly magazine Asahi Camera, which are also on view as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25849\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Uematsu_Vertical-Position-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Uematsu, Vertical Position\" width=\"716\" height=\"577\" \/> Keiji Uematsu, Vertical Position<\/p>\n<p>The show goes on to highlight artists that used the photography to explore both time and space. Hitoshi Nomura\u2019s earliest work \u201cTardiology\u201d comprises a 28ft tall cardboard sculpture destined to collapse. Nomura documented this process by photographing the collapse and breakdown over a period of time. His mix of performance, sculpture and photography propelled artists to study the way in which they produce works. Another major highlight of the exhibition was the recreation of artist Keiji Uematsu\u2019s site-specific installation \u201cCutting\u201d\u00a0(1971), the work is shown with three enormous photographs from 1972 that Uematsu took while documenting himself performing within the installation. The recent re-installation of the site-specific piece \u201cCutting\u201d, truly highlighted the importance that performance plays within the overall exhibition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25847 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Ishiuchi_Apartment_1-of-2-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Ishiuchi_Apartment\" width=\"716\" height=\"580\" \/> Miyako Ishiuchi, Apartment<\/p>\n<p>Contrasting elements add an emotional edge to the show and paint a realistic and vivid picture of that era.
