New Tokyo Contemporaries 3

Starting today and continuing on through to Sunday, February 21 is the all-singing, all-dancing* extravaganza formally known as New Tokyo Contemporaries 3. This “art month” of events spread across the city is organized around the theme of “contemporary culture and business” and features talks, films, workshops and -- yes, please! -- parties, along with special on-site exhibitions by the seven participating galleries plus a number of off-site collaborations between the galleries and various artists.

The stated aim of the event is to “foreground contemporary art as an essential part of everyday contemporary culture” and “represents a new phase of activity for NTC, which was founded with the goal of increasing opportunities for and interest in the exhibition and appreciation of contemporary art in Tokyo.” So there.

* No, not literally.
