‘Ryuichi Sakamoto: seeing sound, hearing time’ at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo

Tokyo, Japan

‘Artist’ is a broad term, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, one of Japan’s most renowned creators, definitely pushed that title to its limits – he was one of the country’s most lauded musicians and composers, but also had a talent for multimedia art and became a prominent social activist. For much of the last 20 years until his passing in 2023, Sakamoto focused on three-dimensional sound installations, which will be showcased in this exhibition. Audiovisual installations will be on display both indoors and outdoors, with several works drawing upon the music Sakamoto created for his 2017 album ‘async’.

Until March 30, 2025
