<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A thorough introduction to the "New Wave" multimedia art of '80s and '90s Japan</strong></p><p>Focusing on themes of retro-futurism, noir, satire and simulation, <i>Parergon</i> presents the work of over 25 Japanese visual artists who were making vital work throughout the 1980s and 1990s--including EYE, Kenjiro Okazaki, Mariko Mori, Kodai Nakahara, Masato Nakamura, Yukinori Yanagi, Kenji Yanobe and Tadanori Yokoo--whose work features mediums spanning painting, sculpture, performance, noise, video and photography. <p/>The title makes reference to the gallery in Tokyo (Gallery Parergon, 1981-87) that introduced many artists associated with the Japanese New Wave of the 1980s, its name attributed to Jacques Derrida's essay from 1978, which famously interrogated the "framework" of art. <p/><i>Parergon</i> brings together some of the most enigmatic works that were first generated during a rich two-decade period that is pivotal to the way we perceive and understand contemporary Japanese art today.</p>
