Taking as its nucleus many of the artists previously showing at the hugely successful 'Tech- Mac-Mayacom' in Tokyo in the Summer of 2007, 'Twenty.' includes some of the most cutting edge and successful young artists currently working in London and Tokyo. Many of the artists have shown extensively in the UK and abroad and this exhibition seeks to represent the very best Art being produced now.
The exhibition brings together twenty European and Japanese artists all dealing with melancholic and melodramatic subject mattter in their own idiosyncratic way. Each artist has been specially invited to create wallbased work exploring themes of aspiration and displacement through the use of theatricality, the hyper real and popular cultural references. Although underpinned by important and profound ideas, all the works share a strong inclusive visual impact. The works are to be enjoyed and contemplated, digested over time.
Working with Dazed and Confused provides a fantastic and unique opportunity to create a relationship with a company renowned for its critical overview of all aspects of fashion, art and culture. Just as the world of fashion seeks to constantly widen its parameters and look for new voices, successful art must also seek to invite new influences and directions. Hopefully in doing this 'Twenty' will serve as an innovative and rewarding exhibition for both Dazed and Confused and the artists involved.
