When curator Shai Ohayon says he's organizing 12 hours of "dirty, dirty, sex, sex" in Shinjuku, he's not making a sordid offer.
He's refering to the title of the first Tokyo ArtGig, a planned series of themed "art happenings" born from his desire to help revive a Tokyo underground art scene.
"I think the art education system in Japan puts less emphasis on cognitive understanding of contemporary art," he says, as he begins explaining why he thinks Tokyo needs an event like ArtGig. "If you look at the curriculum, it is very skill based, and that part of culture makes some people look at art differently."
