Mori Art Museum, Roppongi Hills

The lovely entrance to the Mori Art Museum (massive paper lantern), don't know how they fit such a large exhibition space on what seems like half of the 53rd Floor of Roppongi Hills Tower...

Onigiri man, Aida Makoto
(only piece of art the public could photograph)

The exhibition 'Monument of Nothing' covers two decade of work from the contemporary artist Aida Makoto. It had ALOT of work, over 100 pieces i think! many of which were large paintings which drew inspiration from many different Japanese art forms. For me however the videos were the most memorable (coming from someone who normally hates video art) they were really humorous and yet made you think again from a new perspective.

If you don't already know about Aida Makoto's work I would recommend you having a look at the link to the exhibition below:
