In the dazzling light of Takashi Murakami's superbrand status (and current US museum tour), it's become clear that contemporary Japanese art is once again on the rise. At Royal/T, a Japanese-themed art space — as well as the city's first cosplay café, where waitresses dress as cartoonish maids — UCLA professor Adrian Favell hosts Tokyo Tremors: Four New Waves in Japanese Contemporary Art. His talk proposes new methods of understanding the Japanese art scene, showing the ways young people have branched out from the high pressures of corporate culture.
