1960s, Shine! The Collected Archive of Sôgetsu Art Center
"At last, a work that focuses on the places of art making, the institutions that supported experimental arts production: the Sôgetsu Art Center was one of the key spaces for music, film, animation, dance, and intermedia experiments from late 1950s until the early 1970s in Tokyo. This book brings together photos, reviews, essays, personal histories, and chronologies from a central space of avant-garde collaborative work. Experimental Arts in Postwar Japan aims to show the important place of experimental arts in postwar Japanese culture more broadly, and to trace the intersection of art production across media, as clearly demonstrated in the activities of Sôgetsu."
