The exhibition explores the theme of 'avant-garde' with 'What is Avant-Garde!?', marking 40 years since the 1986 Centre Pompidou exhibition 'Japan Avant-Garde 1910-1970'. It traces Japanese prewar and postwar art in six chapters, from Western-influenced avant-garde to uniquely Japanese movements, and showcases new acquisitions from artists Tamayo Akamatsu, Michiko Hoshino, Yu Matsumoto, and Tomoko Yoneda. A related small exhibition, 'Noe Aoki: Moving Body', features new site-specific iron sculptures by Noe Aoki, which will be dismantled after the exhibition, emphasizing their temporary existence.
