Another day of museum going! I went to the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. I went to the special exhibit of Hussein Chalayan's work. (He is a fashion designer) All his stuff was crazy. There was one, where you walked into a pitch black room and inside the exhibit case there were three outfits. He had attached lasers at different angles to hit the pieces, which were covered in Swarovski crystals. The lasers bounced off the crystals while the mannequins spun around. My favortie concept was his clothes that were inspired by refugees. The clothes were converted from the seat cushions to dresses; table into a skirt, and chairs into brief cases. I wanted to take photos but oddly photographs were not allowed anywhere in the museum. lame...
The MoT
I thought the museum would have very good selection of artwork, but it was pretty weak. That maybe because I do not know Japanese contemporary artists. But the information provided was not foreigner friendly. Ususally museums have the medium the artist used, but many of the pieces didn't. Ultimately, I probably can't appreciate contemporary art...
