Current Show: Just Love Me
February 14, 2008 - August 9, 2008
Just Love Me is the opening exhibition at Royal/T. Selected from the Susan Hancock Collection, Just Love Me explores the complexity of cuteness, and the yearning it reveals in artistic expression today. Cuteness is a gesture expressing an innocent desire to obtain unconditional love from someone who gives one's heart. Cuteness is not always sweet and jovial. It can also be monomaniac, enigmatic and obsessive accomplishing the craving under its optimistic surface-to be loved. Just Love Me is the title of a neon sign in the collection by Tracey Emin. This exhibition juxtaposes works not only by Japanese contemporary artists but also by various international artists who explore obsessive human desire including; Ghada Amer, Stephan Balkenhol, Louise Bourgeois, John Currin, Yayoi Deki, Tom Friedman, Jim Hodges, Izumi Kato, Hideaki Kawashima, Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, Mitsuhito Okamoto, Chris Ofili, Wilhelm Sasnal, Cindy Sherman, David Shrigley, Aya Takano, Fred Tomaselli, Kara Walker, Keisuke Yamamoto and Lisa Yuskavage. Selected by Yukie Kamiya.
