This is an exhibition of 42 art works by 11 Japanese artists arrive at Vietnam to be exhibited for the first time in Hue.

A contemporary art exhibition entitled “Passage to the Future: Art from a New Generation in Japan” presented by The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam will arrive at Hue in the middle of July 2010 after traveling to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

This exhibition presents paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, and video works by 11 Japanese artists who are responding in a similar way to the current state of the world. They take their subject matter from their immediate surroundings and make art that strongly reflects their own personal reality. Their work has a rich visual impact and reveals a strong interest in the process of making things.

We hope that this exhibition will allow viewers to experience the freshness and vitality of current Japanese art and at the same time provide an opportunity for renewed thinking and debate about the fundamental appeal and meaning of art.
