At the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, the eighth edition of Roppongi Crossing assembles 21 artists and artist groups to map Japan’s contemporary art scene through the single, elastic concept of time. First launched in 2004 as a recurring snapshot of the present moment, the triennial returns with the subtitle, What Passes Is Time. We Are Eternal., bringing together more than 100 works across painting, sculpture, video, craft, sound, zines, and community-based practices.

Materially and conceptually, time unfolds in radically different registers. A.A.Murakami presents an immersive installation governed by an AI-written operating system. Kuwata Takuro’s large-scale ceramics push traditional techniques toward rupture. Kelly Akashi’s bronze and glass sculptures draw on familial memory and histories of internment.
