Struck by the lack of venues for young artists to show their works and the limited number of public art events, Canadian curator Shai Ohayon decided to re-launch his Toronto ArtGig events upon arrival in Tokyo. The first, “Dirty, Dirty! Sex, Sex!” takes place at a club in the gay nightlife district Shinjuku Ni-chome, an area that he notes is considered by many a site of “sexual promiscuity and debauchery.” Among those participating and performing are fine artists Makoto Aida and Yoko Ono, avant-garde cellist Benjamin Skepper and fetish performance artist Mistress Maya.
May 8, time TBA, price TBA. Bar Exit, Shinjuku. Nearest stn: Shinjuku. Tel: 03-3341-5445.
