Mizuma Gallery is delighted to present HISASHI TENMYOUYA x INDIEGUERILLAS, an exhibition curated by prominent Japanese and Indonesian contemporary artists. The show brings two eastern cultures to meet under a unusual vector of approaching contemporary art. Though both countries have similarity in the way many asian countries do, they have a very different history. Indonesia had been colonized both by the west and the east for hundreds of years while Japan has never been completely colonized before. This set an interesteing array of differences in the way arts develop in the country and how artists evolve by digesting foreign influences. In the exhibition we can see how cultural influences travel around internally and the differences that set these asian countries' identity.
