Si è conclusa a Roma una interessantissima mostra presso l’Istituto Giapponese di Cultura: BOOM| BEAT | BUBBLE a cura di Marcella Cossu.
La mostra, iniziata il 4 maggio e conclusa il 12 ottobre, ha trattato di stampe, arte tipicamente Giapponese iniziata con la corrente ukiyo-e (浮世絵 “immagine del mondo fluttuante”) nel XVII e che continua ancora oggi.
Dal “Miracolo Economico” alla “Bolla Speculativa”

Ma la particolarità di questa suggestiva mostra è stata la scelta del periodo storico. Tre decadi più vicine a noi di quanto crediamo, ’60, ’70 e ’80, che aprono una porta e riescono a farci scoprire l’evoluzione del Giappone moderno, così come lo conosciamo. Potremmo definirla la controparte giapponese di quella forma più conosciuta di Pop Art americana con Warhol.
Abbiamo visto l’esplosione la BOOM degli anni ’60 con il “miracolo economico”, lì dove il Giappone in ginocchio uscito sconfitto dal secondo conflitto mondiale riuscì a rialzarsi dalla crisi grazie al picco dell’economia. Passando alla BEAT del dopo ’68 che toccò anche loro con un mondo in cambiamento passando alla decade ’70 che vide il Giappone spiccare ed affermarsi come superpotenza mondiale. E gli ’80 con la BUBBLE quella che fu la “bolla speculativa” scoppiata poi la decade successiva con il rialzo dei prezzi nel settore azionario e dell’immobile.
Con molteplici argomenti, 24 artisti e 54 opere non è stata la solita mostra.
Stampe ancora oggi molto moderne.

An interesting exhibition just closed at the Japanese Cultural Institute in Rome: BOOM | BEAT | BUBBLE by Marcella Cossu.
The exhibition, that began on May 4 and ended on October 12, dealt with prints, a typical Japanese art that started with the current of the ukiyo-e (浮世 絵 “images of the floating world”) in the XVII and which continues today still.
From the “Economic Miracle” to the “Speculative Bubble”

The peculiarity of this evocative exhibition was the choice of the historical period. Three decades closer to us than we might think, 60s, 70s and 80s, opening a door and making us discover the evolution of modern Japan as we know it. We could call it the Japanese counterpart of that most popular American Pop Art with Warhol.
We saw the BOOM, the explosion of the 60s with the “economic miracle” where Japan on its knees after the defeat in World War II managed to recover from the crisis due to the peak of the economy. Moving to the BEAT after the ’68 which also affected them with a changing world leading to the decade of the 70s that saw Japan emerge and stand as one of the world’s powerful nations. And the 80s with the BUBBLE, the “speculative bubble” that broke out during the following decade with the consequent rising prices of stocks in the financial and property sector .
With multiple topics, 24 artists and 54 works, it was not the usual exhibition.
Prints that are still modern today.
