Juxtapoz Journal – The Unibrow Present @ T&Y Tasks, Tokyo

Coinciding with the launch of The Unibrow journal, T&Y Tasks will host The Unibrow: A Put up-Juxtapoz Story at 30, Half 2, an exhibition curated by Juxtapoz editor and The Unibrow co-founder, Evan Pricco. The present marks the final years of Juxtapoz journal and the start of a brand new arts biannual, The Unibrow. 

The exhibition is seen as a bridge between cultures, a nuanced take a look at the long-standing dialog between Japan and California in each conceptual methods and direct narratives. The Unibrow‘s origins are within the bringing collectively of histories and tales, each cultural and visible, and the artist’s mirrored within the present have confronted and conversed with the concept of cultural bridges and connections. 

The artists within the present embody Barry McGee, Jean Jullien, Sachi Moskowitz, Haroshi, Sickid, Yusuke Hanai, Ozzie Juarez, CR Stecyk III,  Ayako Rokkaku, Adele Renault, Julian Tempo and Susanne Melanie Berry. Every artist has a historical past with each Japanese and California cultures, whether or not via skate and surf tradition, anime and manga, craft and sport. 

A part of this exhibition is the thought of The Outsider trying in, ideas of distance and making an attempt to light up commonalities. Throughout the Pacific, Japanese and Californian artists transfer like tides—separate shores, shared currents—borrowing gentle and remaking each other. And on the middle of the present is Jean Jullien, a Parisian artist with ties to each California and Japan, overlooking the expanse of those cultures to the broader world and what it means past the Pacific Rim.
