"neoteny Japan" in Ehime prefecture

I visited the art museum of Ehime on May 16, to see a exhibition " neoteny japan". It seemed to be great success. The exhibiton came from a personal collection, Ryutarou Takahashi. He is a psychiatrist. He selected art works under the theme of "neoteny" from his collection.

There were a lot of fine art works of known artists.
Takashi Murakami.
Yoshimoto Nara.
Atuhiko Misawa.
Makoto Aida etc.
The artists belong to contemporary art. The thing that really strucked me the most was what a richly rewarded by the variety of art creations were there.
I think that one of secrets to success in this exhibition was the theme of "neoteny". Even neoteny, they had strong identities. Therefore, there were mature and fragile sences, it mirrored the problems of adult society.
Well, and I noticed that some artists had created some artworks in several ways, like painting, movie, sculpture and music etc, to express their world.

For example, Tomoko Kouike, when I entered a small room through a gate, a lot of people were standing in the middle of the room, there was a very large painting of "wolves and a girl"in the facade, a silver wolf object on left. When looked back to right, I saw a picture on the celling. It was a movie of the same theme, "wolves and a girl", and the whole room was filled with flashing light.
I was like I wanderd into an another world. I was sure I got into her world.


I've felt that art came to evolve.
Previously, Artists like painter and sculptor and musician, existed together. But recently, they get to blur into each other.
To express their world, the way doesn't matter. I feel important that what a sense of values can generate.
Some time ago, art gave us an emotional experience and it represented the beauty and power.
Later, we could get in something from art.
And now, art may try to make new worlds. I think that art would become a new amusement like game or trip or wisdom. In these mature society, we might require something special, even for art. And I've found art in demand. I'm looking forward to seeing the future of art.
