MAM Project 030 x MAM Digital: Yamauchi Shota is our first attempt where a “MAM Digital” program is held in the real exhibition space as part of the “MAM Project” exhibition series that showcases contemporary art in all its diversity.

As part of the generation that has grown up with a post-1995, internet version of reality, Yamauchi Shota (born 1992 in Gifu, currently based in Kanagawa) has been making attempts by myriad means to illuminate the relationship between self and world, and rifts between the world as he perceives it, and as it actually is. Employing a range of wildly different expressive media, from video to sculpture, installation and performance, Yamauchi skillfully switches between clay animation, chroma key, 3DCG, 3D printing, VR, and motion capture technologies. His works are distinguished not only by a technology-driven pursuit of novelty, but by the desire to express raw physicality and the complexity of quintessentially human emotions, contradictory feelings and situations.

The Planet of Faces, a newly-commissioned work for this exhibition, is an online gaming-format video installation modified in real time. People can participate in the work on site via tablet, or access it on a dedicated website from anywhere via PC or smartphone. Players answer a series of questions resembling those of psychological testing to spawn an avatar in the form their own face, morphing in clay-like fashion. This is then uploaded to a server to join other faces congregating on a planet in the work, where they react to each other, generating various dramas. The resulting planet made up of multiple faces constantly in flux will be joined in the Mori Art Museum gallery by a 3D sculpture of Yamauchi’s own face, rendered as an island. Thus this work that exists in both the digital and IRL realms will continue to change throughout the show, in Yamauchi’s words as a “planet where right and wrong, beautiful and ugly cohabit, at times rejoicing, at times sad, at times angry.” Don’t miss this chance to be part of a truly unique work of art.

Initially as part of “MAM Digital” content facilitating people to enjoy art while at home, the “ARTIST COOKBOOK BY MAM” project was launched primarily on social media in May 2020 but it had quickly become one of our most popular projects to date, receiving more than 160,000 “likes” on Facebook.
By popular demand, the project in its entirety is now published in print as a book!

It features photos, drawings and stories behind the artists’ original recipes sent to us during the pandemic from all over the world. The list of contributing artists includes Ai Weiwei, Shiota Chiharu, and Sopheap Pich (see below for the full list).

Available for purchase at the the MORI ART MUSEUM SHOP (3F, West Walk, Roppongi Hills), MORI ART MUSEUM SHOP 53 (within Mori Art Museum) or MORI ART MUSEUM ONLINE SHOP.

* This program will be streamed online, via Zoom.
* Advance booking is required.

This event is inspired by Yoko Ono’s SKY T.V. in 1967 for the Lisson Gallery, which she described as “a T.V. just to see the sky.” It broadcasts a live video feed of the sky from above the building where it was installed—a way to bring the sky inside, even if a space lacked windows. In collaboration with Yoko Ono, the Getty Research Institute and the Feminist Center for Creative Work will present a 24-hour video streaming of the sky via Zoom. A network of international institutions will participate in a live broadcast of the sky transmitted to audiences at home.

At a time of profound revolution and reflection, a time of restricted travel but great desire for connection, we seek to draw upon Ono’s invocation of the sky as a space of generative possibility and renewal. The event takes place on June 21, 2021 to coincide with and celebrate the Solstice and the Strawberry Moon Eclipse (June 20-24).
