time. 68 hotel rooms will be turned into exhibition booths.
This year as a new trial, we will set up “U-35 Sections”, holding solo exhibitions, introducing upcoming
artists exclusively under 35 years old. In “Exhibition PLUS”, participating galleries will hold solo
exhibitions of their represented artists. Individualities of the presented artists and their works will surely
make the fair dynamic. During the fair period, “Best Presentation Award” will also be presented, voted

TALK EVENT“Reconsideration: Art Scene in 1980s” (Japanese only)
Guest Speaker：Masahiro Yasugi（Head researcher at the National Museum of Art, Osaka）
Moderator：Yoshio Katoh (President of Contemporary Art Planning KATOH YOSHIO OFFICE, ARTOSAKA Committee)
Dates：7th(Sat) July 14:00-15:30
Venue：Hotel Granvia Osaka, 20th ﬂoor, Crystal room

Entrance：Free (The fair entrance,1500yen, is needed.)In the 1980s, Modernism came to the end and the Postmodernism era began. In the era of cultural globalizationthat came along with the arrival of Postmodernism, art parted from the Modern art tradition and brought forthPostmodernism.One of the important characteristics of Postmodernism is its remarkable diversity. Contemporary
art in Japan went through “Gutai” and “Mono-ha” and entered the Post Mono-ha era, and in the late 1980s it
demonstrated a diversity which had never seen before.
This year, exhibitions themed ʻJapanese art of the 1980sʼ have been held all over Japan, and the National Museumof Art,Osaka will hold an exhibition “New Wave: Japanese Contemporary Art of the 1980s” this November. Mr.
Masahiro Yasugi,the curator of this exhibition, will talk about the fascinating aspects of art in the 1980s from thecuratorʼs point of view.
