Fly to the Moon: Five Stories Around the Moon

ART iT
A 120‑minute exhibition at the Haramuseum ARC featuring five artworks themed around the moon.

Summary

The exhibition at Haramuseum ARC, running from September 12, 2026 to January 11, 2027, offers a roughly 120‑minute journey through five moon‑themed works. Episode 1 showcases Robert Rauschenberg’s 1967 lithograph “Booster,” linking NASA’s lunar ambitions with 1960s pop‑art. Episode 2 presents Rika Noguchi’s 1995 piece “Submerging Person,” alongside works that capture everyday light traces and contemplate life and death. Episode 3 features Kuni Sugi’s 1957 painting “Moon,” illustrating Japanese abstract art influenced by French modernism. Episode 4 highlights Shiro Kuramata’s 1986 piece “How High the Moon,” a floating furniture work that experiments with acrylic, glass, and metal. Episode 5 includes the Muromachi‑era piece by Dento Oguri “Monkey on the Moon,” juxtaposing ancient and contemporary lunar imagery. The epilogue spotlights artist Kyōdai Mishima’s large ceramic sculpture “Newspaper‑84‑E,” reflecting on the fragility of information in a media‑saturated society.
