Japan Cultural Expo 2.0 - Takashi Murakami In Conversation with Sam Thorne, Director General & CEO of Japan House (Online Event)

 

Presented by Japan Cultural Expo 2.0, this talk will feature world-renowned contemporary artist Takashi Murakami in conversation with Sam Thorne, Director General & CEO of Japan House London, at the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, in the artist’s first public event in the UK since 2018. 

The talk forms part of Japan Cultural Expo 2.0, an initiative of the government of Japan to promote Japanese arts and culture around the world. The event will be hosted by and organised in association with the Victoria and Albert Museum, the world’s leading museum for art, design and performance. 

Best known for his iconic paintings, sculptures, fashion collaborations and films populated with motifs and characters of his own creation, Murakami is recognised for his mix of fine art and commercial media. His practice ingeniously combines the past and future of Japanese art by using traditional techniques and motifs like ukiyo-e and byōbu-e (Japanese folding screen paintings), as well as references to contemporary Japanese pop culture including anime. 

Drawing inspiration from Japan Cultural Expo 2.0’s concept The Beauty and Spirit of Japan, this event will delve into the country’s rich arts, history and culture, while exploring Murakami’s key works and the enduring appeal of Japanese art and how it informs his practice. 

Tickets for the live stream are available to book through the V&A’s website via the following link:
