    Munch: A Retrospective

    Oct. 27 Sat., 2018 – Jan. 20 Sun., 2019

    • A major retrospective exhibition looking over the life and works of Edvard Munch. He is best known for The Scream, but his self-portraits, both painted and photographic, are also worthy of attention. There are even “selfies”, taken with the artist’s outstretched arm. Come along and discover a different side to the famous Scandinavian artist.

      Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum,　Akiko Kobayashi

    • Munch is most famous for The Scream, but he also painted the night’s sky, didn’t he? I’d like to look at Starry Night , and see the unique way he painted the stars and brought them to life.

    TOSHIKO OKANOUE, Photo Collage: The Miracle of Silence

    Jan. 26 Sat. - Apr. 7 Sun., 2019

    • In the collages, created from photos cut from magazines, she paints a sharp contrast between the “blank slate” landscapes of a Japan in the midst of post-war recovery, and images of women in high-fashion clothing imposed on top of them.

      Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, Kyoko Jimbo

    • I know her! I like the way incorporates the world of fashion into her artworks. These works can be appreciated both as art and as records of 1950s fashion. I love the world of monochrome photography and I think I could learn a lot from this exhibition – I could go over and over again.

    Performing Arts Creation Project: Jo Taira & Dai Miyata Ensemble “SALOME”

    Jan. 19 Sat., 20 Sun., 2019

    • This will be the second collaboration from puppeteer Jo Taira and energetic cellist Dai Miyata. Taira’s skill at portraying female emotion, and the music performed by Miyata’s ensemble, will come together to bring you a brand new interpretation of Salome.

      Tokyo Bunka Kaikan,　Ayano Shima

    • I’ve never seen puppet theatre before, but I recently met the puppet craftsman Simon Yotsuya, and I was thrilled and fascinated by some of his eroticised puppets . A part of me loves bright colours, but when it comes to art I prefer depth. This looks like the kind of thing I would like.
