At BAG, we plan to hold Life-and-Art themed exhibition. The project "ART in MUSIC" focuses on Life and Music, mainly highlighting the visual art of record jackets. This exhibition, which is a continuation of the past themes of "City Pop" and "Jazz," is the third installment focusing on "Rock," specifically the transformative seven years between 1978 to 1984 in the Western rock music. This era saw rapid changes in technology and media, and gave birth to some of the most creative and edgy moments in rock history with provocative graphics and cutting-edge fashion. The exhibition is supervised by musician and music producer Akihito Katayose, revisiting the visual expressions of rock during this period. Portraits of musicians by photographer Toshi Yajima and works depicting rock musicians by visual artist Mick Itaya will also be displayed. Additionally, the vintage
rock T-shirts, Ukiyo-e prints of rock musicians, analog records, disc guides, and other related merchandise will be available on site.
