MoT.東.京.都.現.代.美.術.館

you slept sound like baby last night. you woke up almost 11am and feeling rested and ready to venture out.
rain. tokyo is raining whole day. but that didn’t stop you from going out. you bring along your raincoat, your umbrella, and you are ready for the wet weather.

you visited museum of contemporary arts tokyo (東京都現代美術館) situated at koto ward (江東区), a little out of the beaten track but this museum is worth the visit. the entrance fee is rather expensive 1600 yen for two special and a permanent exhibitions. but you feel reconnected to the arty world again and you were disconnected from the tokyo hecticness for awhile.

 like most of the other modern contemporary arts museums in the world, you expect something interactive, something made from daily items but MoT is not as biazzare as the orther musuem, the displays are functional, innovative and most importanly a strong blend of japanese arts and philosophy expressed in most master piece, especially the two special exhibitions. it's just amazing.

 you removed your shoes, enter into this dark blue room, you spent a very long time here, and you lie down to watch the ceiling or look down to the mirror on the floor (like this man) . it’s such an amazing audio visual display with soft background soothing music and colorful images, flashes and video with japanese elements and a comfy pillow and cushioned floor, that make you almost not willing to leave this room.



 one part of the audio visiual that it gets so colorful and you couldn't resist further, just capture the moment.

 it's not too sharp as the images are constantly moving but you are really inspired!! what a beautiful way to express photos, colors and images....

you saw this art work and you think of your friend - desperate housewife in Holland immediately. she is an desperate housewife full of artistic potential, and she recently expressed the hay fever that she suffers from in a black and white drawing, very identical to these art work.

it's almost closing time and the rain is pouring hard again, so heavy that you decided to stay put for awhile

and you walk down the path outside of the museum building to a cafe for a drink.  and of course you are the last one to leave the museum because there is just so much to see and you just love it.

well, it's late saturday, and you are excited for a special day tomorrow.  easter!!!
