WA-POP!
The Invasion of Japanese Pop Art
November 29, 2006 - January 17, 2007
Reception: Thursday, November 30, 5-7PM
Curated by Yusuke Tanaka, Art and Design Major, Columbia College Chicago
WA-POP! The Invasion of Japanese Pop Art presents Pop Art by Japanese artists who are actively working in the States and by the students of Columbia College Chicago. The exhibition title is a playful expression that asks among other things, 'What pop?' This eyepopping and often delightfully irreverent exhibit offers provocative ideas that explore a genre of art that is perceived very differently in Japan than in the United States.
