Andrew Roth presents a one-month (July) summer exhibition of recent Japanese art, "FOR TOWA: PEACE FROM THE EAST." 47 works by 20 artists comprise the survey curated by Diego Cortez. A tribute to Cortez's friend, Japanese musician and DJ, Towa Tei, who was a founding member of Deee-Lite, and early proponent of the appropriated sound 'sample' and post-modern 'scratch' in DJ methodology. Tei has positioned himself in the nexus of a strict or pure Japanese design, international futur-musik, and international contemporary art world, while being a collector and art enthusiast of the highest order, all while performing as one of the most celebrated 'synthetic' DJ's in the world.

Tei represents the future not only of music, but of contemporary art as well, as do the 20 artists included in this show. Japanese art, a hybrid of traditional culture and the future, is represented by a diverse group of several generations of artists. (Ten micro-generations in 20 years?)

From conceptual/historical masters Moriyama, Araki and Miyajima, to 'infantilists' Aoshima, Mr. and Nara, to the eroticism of Araki and Nagashima, and the spiritual/theatrical found in works by Yokoo, Akasegawa and Ninagawa, "FOR TOWA," represents a 4-sided mandala of the psyche of Japan today by contemporary 'living treasures.'

●レスマック。。　パソコンでの猫背姿勢は必要最低限にしたいと思い、外にMACBOOK担ぐの辞めてみる。
その分敢えて、マメさ迅速さは犠牲にしたい。
自宅の音楽以外のはiMACにして、画面も大きくなって、
少しは姿勢良くなるのか？　期待。

●京都。。特に写真はナシですが、気分的には今回自分、かなり楽しかったです。
ギロギロ、早め作戦、今回も美味しかったです。遂にwebが出来たとの事。
