Message from the Editor

The Japanese art scene revived and revamped

To coincide with our fourth anniversary, we decided to revamp both 
the content and design of ART iT. The website www.art-it.jp has also 
been overhauled, with a number of articles and the Exhibition 
Calendar transferred there. In addition we have launched ART iT 
e-news, and will offer exhibition reviews plus a plethora of other 
exclusive content. The art scene changes by the day, and using both 
print and internet we'll be aiming to respond as quickly as possible.

Japanese contemporary art, for a time eclipsed by work coming out of 
the likes of China and India, is looking healthy again too at long 
last. A younger generation of artists have honed their abilities and 
are ambitiously producing and presenting a stream of new work. There 
have also been some noteworthy successes in relations with the 
international art world.

By an odd coincidence, three shows scheduled for Tokyo this autumn 
tackle the themes of 'crossing domains', 'intersection', and 
'hybridization'. In a land without the history or environment of the 
West, but where like every other place on Earth globalization is 
proceeding apace, what constitutes original, distinctive artistic 
expression? We hope you'll find the answer in this issue of ART iT.

Ozaki Tetsuya, ART-iT publisher and editor-in-chief
