"Materially and conceptually, time unfolds in radically different registers. A.A.Murakami presents an immersive installation governed by an AI-written operating system. Kuwata Takuro's large-scale ceramics push traditional techniques toward rupture. Kelly Akashi's bronze and glass sculptures draw on familial memory and histories of internment. Through distinct practices, the exhibition frames Japan as a shifting field shaped by memory, technology, craft, and migration."
"Roppongi Crossing at the Mori Art Museum proposes Japan as a shifting collection of memories, migrations, and material practices. National identity becomes porous and time becomes plural. In assembling works that stretch from geological epochs to AI simulations, from embroidery to immersive fog systems, the exhibition positions contemporary art as a site where duration is felt rather than measured. The question is not simply what time is, but how it is lived, individually, collectively, and across borders."
Roppongi Crossing at the Mori Art Museum gathers 21 artists and artist groups around the concept of time, presenting over 100 works across painting, sculpture, video, craft, sound, zines, and community practices. Curators include two internationally active Asian guest curators and the museum's team, widening the frame to artists working in Japan regardless of nationality and those abroad with Japanese roots. Works range from AI-driven installations and immersive fog systems to large-scale ceramics and family-memory sculptures. The presentation positions Japan as a shifting field shaped by memory, technology, craft, migration, and plural temporalities.
