MEGA-WAVE ? Towards a New Synthesis


YOKOHAMA2001 is a never-before-seen grand-scale exhibition set against the
stage of
the city of Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, which neighbors Tokyo.  Long
awaited by
audiences both inside and outside of Japan, this will be Japan? first
large-scale
survey of international art featuring works by 110 artists from around the
globe. The
works cover a broad spectrum of media, such as painting, sculpture,
photography, video,
installations and performance, and also include a broad array of works
connected to
architecture, design, fashion, film, animation and comics.

The title of the exhibition, ?ega-Wave ? Towards a New Synthesis?is meant
to project
the image of a great wave of art emanating from the city of Yokohama. Under
this title,
the show will attempt to introduce the forefront of world art, while at the
same time
presenting a new vision of the synthesis of art and society. Most of the
participating
artists will create a new work for the show. Each of them visits and spends
time in
the city and the exhibition site to make their work. The sites cover the
immense Pacifico
Yokohama Exhibition Hall, the Red Brick Warehouse No. 1, and several other
venues in the
seaside district.
