Berlin/Tokyo : Your pick of the isms
Maybe my expectations were too high, in any case they were off target -- because I found "Tokyo-Berlin/ Berlin-Tokyo" a pedestrian, listless exhibition -- possibly the most disappointing thing the Mori Art Museum has ever done.
Fortune has landed me in Berlin for the better part of the last two summers. I love the arts scene there. It is raw, dynamic -- bred of the everyday lives of creative people drawn in no small part by the fact that a good little studio space can be had for 50,000 yen, and a great big beer for 300 yen.
