UMAG Online Lecture Series (2025-2026) 💬 Lecture 4
Dissolved, disappeared, or transformed—the boom of avant-garde artists’ collectives in postwar Japan gradually waned after Expo ’70 in Osaka. Theorized, historicized, and institutionalized, the avant-garde became canonized as symbolically dead. Wei Sun’s talk explores what became of a “metabolic” art world that had lost faith in the avant-garde’s transformative potential, tracing its mutations and reappearances within the shifting conditions of 1970s Japan.
