The TCAA 2024–2026 commemorative exhibition, featuring awardees Tetsuya Umeda and Oh Hajee, will be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.Summary
The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT) will host the "TCAA 2024–2026 Commemorative Exhibition: Wetlands," showcasing the works of the 5th Tokyo Contemporary Art Award (TCAA) recipients, Tetsuya Umeda and Oh Hajee. The TCAA is an award for mid-career artists supported by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS). Both artists frequently incorporate themes related to water, such as sea routes and waterways, in their recent work. The exhibition will feature a convergence of Oh Hajee's projects, like the "grand-mother island project" which connects personal histories across virtual islands, and Tetsuya Umeda's explorations that visualize structures through performances and tours. Their approaches overlap like the boundary between land and water in a wetland. The exhibition runs from December 25, 2025, to March 29, 2026, and will include related events such as artist talks.
