Aimed at introducing the work of promising young artists, the Yokohama Museum of Art’s “New Artist Picks” series has been held since 2007 in the Art Galleries and other spaces within the museum.
With the museum now closed for renovations, two special “Wall Project” editions of the series will be held to present the work of young artists on the construction wall facing Art Square in Grand Mall Park in front of the Yokohama Museum of Art.

In this project, a total of 18 works, including two new works and 16 produced between 2015 and 2021, will be shown. As we seek out new ways of living based on the experience of the pandemic, Murakami's themes of death and rebirth, and human-animal relationships remind us of the importance of recognizing weaknesses and of engaging the world with a sense of humility.
