After the Second World War, one of the largest Japanese communities in Western Europe emerged in Düsseldorf in the course of Japan’s economic expansion. At the same time, Düsseldorf developed into one of the most important centers for contemporary art. Examples include art movements from the 1960s to the 1980s such as Zero, Fluxus, Conceptual Art and Neo-Expressionism. Since then, not only Japanese businessmen but also Japanese artists have been attracted to Düsseldorf and NRW.
The upcoming exhibition “Road to documenta fifteen, Resonances of DiStances Vol.3″ is a prelude to the presentation of Takashi Kuribayashi and Rai Shizuno (Cinema Caravan) in Kassel in 2022. The project in Düsseldorf sets the ground for the exploration led by Takashi Kuribayashi and Rai Shizuno in Germany.

With the new and interdisciplinary concept, strike a pose – Festival for Art, Fashion and Style will bring together creative positions at the interfaces between art and fashion in a unique way. The festival will take place in Düsseldorf from July 23 to 25, 2021.
The works of designer Miaki Komuro and visual artist Hanae Utamura, both born in Japan, synchronize nature, art and technology, East and West by means of hybrid interfaces. Under “Strike a pose,” boa-basedonart becomes a laboratory of resonance for this interrelationship.

In 2014, the Gunma Prefectural Congress decided to remove a monument in the Gunma no Mori park. It was erected in 2004 to commemorate the forced relocation and forced labor of Koreans during the Pacific War. A court case on the matter, brought by the founding initiative of the memorial, followed and has still not been settled to date.
