SUMMARY:Variation and Autonomy: The Prints by Contemporary Japanese Painters
DESCRIPTION:Print Exhibition\nJapan Foundation Touring Exhibition\nVariation and Autonomy:\nThe Prints by Contemporary Japanese Painters\n\nJanuary 10 – March 29\, 2018\nSensing the diverse potential of the print medium\, in the 1970s\, young Japanese artists began making prints\, and in so doing\, expanded the expressive range of contemporary art as a whole.Though certain aspects of this development have certainly been acknowledged\, it was mainly artists who did specialized in or concentrated on prints that served as pivotal figures in post – World War II\, contemporary Japanese print-making. Or at the very least\, that is the way it looks from this vantage point. In Europe and America\, artists who were responsible for trends in contemporary art made printmaking history. But the evolution Japanese printmaking seems to be a singular development in the world. \nHowever\, this does not mean that oil painters were not ambitiously engaged in printmaking from the prewar era onward. Some Japanese painters\, who had visited printmaking workshops in France\, Italy\, and Germany\, produced copperplate prints and lithographs at technical training sessions or in the workshops of acquaintances\, although the number of works was quite small. After World War II\, in the 1950s\, a growing number of painters worked in lithography and the emergence of the peintre-graveur (painter who is also a printmaker) in Japan was a noted phenomenon. Later\, in the 1960s\, printmaking rose to greater prominence and printing workshops were opened here and there\, creating an environment in which it was normal for artists who were not printmaking specialists\, from established painters and sculptors to emerging artists of the avant-garde\, to work with printers on production of their own prints. From the 1970s onward\, as the market value of prints rose\, an even greater number of artists turned their hands to prints in a wide range of styles and media\, strongly propelling the world of printmaking forward. This wide-open environment was correlated with a similarly broad range of printmaking expression among painters who were not specialists in printmaking. \nThis exhibition is not made up of works by artists who are considered to have created a unique or specific development in contemporary Japanese printmaking history\, but rather on those by artists who tend to be seen as support players in this process. There are two reasons for this focus. First\, the exhibition is designed to shed light on the fact that a new field was developed through contemporary Japanese prints. This field\, prints made by painters\, is notable both as a variation on painting and an autonomous form. Thus\, the works helped establish the genre of contemporary Japanese prints while imbuing it with a suitable breadth. Second\, the exhibition is intended to encourage viewers to reconsider the existing history of contemporary Japanese prints. Today\, 70 years after World War II\, at a point when prints are on the verge of being forgotten as a trend in contemporary art\, there is a need\, both in Japan and abroad\, to reconsider history from a variety of critical perspectives without overlooking the subject of dissolution. \nWithout a doubt\, the prints of the artists featured in this exhibition constitute variations on the medium of painting\, yet at the same time they stand alone as works of art that could only be realized through printmaking. Viewing the works of these peintre-graveurs leads us to a genuine understanding of contemporary printmaking in Japan. \n  \n42 works by 10 artists \nHitoshi Nakazato\, Kosai Hori\, Masanari Murai\, Naoyoshi Hikosaka\, \nNatsuyuki Nakanishi\, Toeko Tatsuno\, Tomoharu Murakami\, Toshinobu Onosato \nYasukazu Tabuchi\, Yayoi Kusama \n  \nShow GALLERY HOURS \nMon 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nTues 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nWed 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nThurs 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nFri 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \n \nShow The Japan Foundation\, Toronto \n2 Bloor Street East \nHudson’s Bay Centre\, 3rd floor \nAbove Royal Bank of Canada \nwww.jftor.org 416.966.1600 x229 \n \n  \nADMISSION: FREE \nSaturday openings: \n11:00 am – 4:00 pm \nJanuary 13\, 27\, February 10\, 24\, March 3\, 24 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays \nFebruary 19 (Family Day)

SUMMARY:Directed by Japanese Women: RADIANCE
DESCRIPTION:RADIANCE 光\nThursday March 8th\, 2018 6:30 PM\n   \nDirected by Naomi Kawase\, 2017\n101 minutes\, Japanese with English subtitles\nMarch 8th is international women’s day and March is also Women’s history month\, and what better way to celebrate this than watching films made by Japanese women. Radiance is the first film to be featured in this series of four films by pre-eminent female filmmakers from Japan. \nRadiance is the stunning new film by director Naomi Kawase. The film is a beautiful drama about an encounter between two lost and wounded souls. Misako (Ayame Misaki) is able to capture the beauty of cinema through her words\, and shares this special gift by writing concise audio descriptions of films for the visually impaired. \nThe photographer Nakamori (Masatoshi Nagase) is going through a difficult point in life as he gradually loses his sight. The two are brought together as Misako’s cinematic poetry helps to shine light through the film and slowly win the hearts of the two main characters. \nRadiance was nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 2017 Cannes. At Cannes\, it won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury. \nOther critically acclaimed films directed by Naomi Kawase are;  Shara (2003)\, The Mourning Forest (Jury Grand Prix\, 2007)\, Hanezu (2011)\, Still the Water (2014) and Sweet Bean (Un Certain Regard 2015). \nTo learn about other films in the DIRECTED BY JAPANESE WOMEN series\, click here >
