“All You Need Is LOVE” Exhibition-Related Programs
Lecture “Origins of Love Revealed by Genetics” * in Japanese-language only
While love is rarely addressed as a scientific problem, the sexual mechanism of the division and combination of DNA underpins the emotion of love, and it could well be that our feelings of like or dislike for a partner are predetermined by our DNA. In this session we introduce the latest discoveries in genetic science from the standpoint of genome anthropology and consider how humans have changed genetically as a result of sexual behavior, marriage systems, and so on as well as the significance of these changes.
Lecturer: Ota Hiroki (Associate Professor, Kitasato University School of Medicine)
Time: 13:00-14:00

Time: 14:30-15:30
Lecture “IT IS DIFFICULT” * Japanese-English simultaneous interpretation available

“MAMC Night: Special Talk with Murayama Ruriko”
An artist in the fields of art, fashion and design
MAMC Night is a special way for MAMC members to enjoy exhibitions at the Mori Art Museum.
To mark the 10th anniversary of Roppongi Hills and Mori Art Museum, we are organizing a special talk with Murayama Ruriko, the artist who had a deep relationship with both Roppongi Hills and the museum, and who presents new works at the exhibition, being moderated by Araki Natsumi, the main curator of the current exhibition.
Murayama has collaborated with COMME des GARÇONS and with PRADA, and her obsessive, excessive use of colors and sculptural creativity attract attention in areas that cross conventional boundaries between art, fashion and design. On the night, Araki Natsumi, curator of the exhibition will have a dialogue with Murayama, and we will hear stories behind her working procedure and the new pieces. After the talk, please enjoy the museum reserved only for the MAMC members.
Why don't you join us on this very special evening of the most exciting talk?
[Murayama Ruriko Profile]
Born 1968 in Akita, Japan. Lives and works in Akita.
With a self-taught dyeing technique, Murayama Ruriko creates works with silk fabric that she has dyed in vivid colors using artificial dyes, cutting it into small pieces and then sewing different pieces together. In her concurrent Collective Charms series of three-dimensional works, she uses beads, artificial flowers, and components for accessories that she hade made, assembling them tightly together without a gap. Her obsessive, excessive colors and sculptural creativity attract attention in areas that cross conventional boundaries between art, fashion and design.
Murayama's major exhibitions include the solo exhibition “Colour and Cloak” (YAMAMOTO GENDAI, Tokyo, 2009), “Stitch by Stitch : Traces I Made with Needle and Thread” (Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, 2009), and “Alternative Paradise” (21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Japan, 2005)
