Hara Museum ARC

We are proud to present a talk event by Tadanori Yokoo. The renowned artist will speak about a variety of topics, including his relationship with the architect Arata Isozaki who was the designer of the buildings at Hara Museum ARC, his memories of the solo show he held at the Hara Museum and his recent projects and points of concern. As an artist involved in a wide range of creative activities with a long history as one of the principle movers of his era, this talk offers a rare chance to catch a glimpse into the world of Tadnori Yokoo through the words of the artist himself. Prior to or after the talk, participants are invited to partake of the five works by Yokoo currently on display in the current exhibition Y’s from the Hara Museum Collection.
