The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo will hold "Sakamoto Ryuichi: Seeing Sound, Listening to Time," the musician and artist Ryuichi Sakamoto's (1952-2023) largest-scale solo exhibition in Japan, which will comprehensively introduce his large-scale installation works.
For over 50 years, Sakamoto has always been at the forefront of his time through his diverse artistic endeavors. Since the 1990s, he has been performing live performances using multimedia, and since the 2000s, through collaborations with various artists, he has actively considered and put into practice the attempt to install sound in a three-dimensional manner in exhibition spaces. Based on the exhibition concept that Sakamoto left for the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo during his lifetime, this exhibition will dynamically compose and deploy over ten immersive, experiential sound installations, including new unreleased works and his representative works, in the spaces inside and outside the museum, on the theme of sound and time, which have long been a preoccupation in Sakamoto's creative activities. Through these works, we will trace the trajectory of Sakamoto's pioneering and experimental creative activities, and widely introduce a new side of this extraordinary artist.
Ryuichi Sakamoto's "seeing sound, listening to time" opens the viewer's eyes and ears, stirs the heart, and creates an experience different from conventional music appreciation or art appreciation. Sakamoto's artistic challenge of "installing sound in space" and his profound question of "what is time" transcend time and space, bringing us new perspectives and continuing to open new horizons for creativity and experience.
Collaborating Artists: Shiro Takatani, Daito Manabe, Carsten Nicolai, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Zakkubalan, Toshio Iwai
Special Collaboration | Fujiko Nakaya

Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo located in Sanho, Gangdong District, Tokyo. For those interested in modern art, I would say that visiting this museum is very necessary. The collection is impressive. It is also very interesting to review Japanese painters. The modern gallery I visited has a history of 30 years of Pixar Studio. I&rsquo;m not a must but it&rsquo;s very interesting to see these. Maybe it&rsquo;s great for families with children.

It&#39;s our second time here, and we really enjoyed all the rides and everything inside the Disneyland. Very comparable to other Disneyland in Anaheim, Disney World in Orlando, Hongkong. Indeed, it is the happiest place on Earth. However, the only setback is the queue in each ride especially for the latest one, it took us about 2 hours on the line. But overall, it&#39;s always a fulfilling dream

The ocean is very nice. All the scenes are very nice. Although it is a rainy day, there are still many people visiting the park. Download the Disney App, scan the code to enter the park, and choose the project in the app after entering the park. The 40th anniversary launched a free quick ticket grab event every 2 hours

The price of buying one get one free is particularly cost-effective, and the night view is also very beautiful! The surrounding shopping malls are also worth visiting. The dispatch and service response on the spot are also very good. It is directly to the shopping mall when you get out of the subway station. It is very convenient to not have to blow the sun.

Exhibitions

There are also many crowds on weekdays. It takes 40 minutes to enter the venue at noon. It is very convenient to buy tickets with mobile phones. There are more than a dozen scenes in the exhibition, all of which have very good viewing effects. It is a show worth entering!
