Anime Event at Japan Society in NYC

February 28th, 2009 · No Comments

From the Japan Society:

KRAZY!
The Delirious World of Anime + Manga + Video Games

Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery
Friday, March 13 — Sunday, June 14



KRAZY!
 will be New York’s first major show dedicated to the Japanese phenomenon of Anime, Manga, and Video Games—three forms of contemporary visual art that are exercising a huge influence on an entire generation of American youth. The exhibition, organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery, will be presented in an environment designed by cutting-edge architectural practice Atelier Bow-Wow, featuring life-size blowups of popular figures from the worlds of anime and manga within an intriguing sequence of spaces that evoke Tokyo’s clamorous cityscape. Co-curated by leading North American and Japanese specialists, KRAZY! will give visitors a direct experience of new forms of cultural production and offers fresh insight into the interdependence of three art forms of the future.
