THROWBACK
Jan 24 — Feb 22, 2025
TEZUKAYAMA GALLERY is pleased to announce an exhibition THROWBACK opening on Friday, January 24. This exhibition takes the postmodernism movement of “simulationism” as its starting point and highlights a diverse range of artists from past to present, focusing on appropriation techniques such as “quotation” and “diversion” in art.
Simulationism emerged as an art movement in the mid-1980s, centered in New York, emerged and developed in response to the replication technologies and rapid informatization born of an era of mass production and mass consumption.
This movement has continued to influence countless artists to this day, in this exhibition, alongside the core elements of Simulationism, we also touch on the precursory movements of Neo-Dada, Pop Art, and Conceptual Art, offering an overview of how appropriation techniques originated and developed into contemporary artistic expressions. In addition, the artists we present here symbolize and reconstruct existing artistic expressions and societal imagery, presenting viewers with fresh perspectives and interpretations. Through their works, we explore how appropriation continues to function as a vital technique, generating new imagery and posing cultural questions in the present.
This exhibition provides an opportunity for visitors to reflect on the history of “quotation” and “diversion” in art while also appreciating the artistic currents that flow from the past into the present. We hope this exhibition encourages visitors to reconsider the potential for new creativity.
