Out of the Ordinary: New Video from Japan

The exhibition presented three nights of single-channel video screenings by twelve established and emerging Japanese artists. The screenings showcased works created after 2000 with the aim of capturing the current state of video art from Japan. Featuring works that voice a more realistic and sometimes critical response to the contemporary Japanese condition, the exhibition sought to provide audiences with a timely alternative to the fanciful anime and manga-inspired work that has become internationally synonymous with contemporary Japanese art.
