In the fiscal year 2025, the Mori Art Museum will continue to deliver exhibitions and learning programs while keeping a close eye on world affairs and international trends in contemporary art. What vision can we conjure of a future still unclear, by looking at the big picture today? The innovative, multifaceted perspectives of artists and creators will help us ponder this question.

MACHINE LOVE: Video Game, AI and Contemporary Art scheduled for February 13 through June 8, 2025 (details already released on our previous press release, website and elsewhere) will explore what impact some of today's highest-profile technologies will have on artistic expression, and the possibilities they offer. This will be followed, from July to November, by an exhibition featuring the work of architect Sou Fujimoto. The Mori Art Museum has staged exhibitions devoted to architects and architectural studios before, showcasing the work of Le Corbusier, Foster + Partners, and Heatherwick Studio, but this time will address the very nature of the architectural exhibition organized at a contemporary art museum, in a show designed to give visitors an immersive spatial experience of the architect's ideas.
Then, from December 2025 through to April 2026, it will be time once more for Roppongi Crossing .Since its launch in 2004, this triennial snapshot of the Japanese contemporary art scene has become a fixture of the wider cultural calendar. And at Roppongi Crossing 2025 , its 8th iteration, we will amalgamate the experiences and viewpoints of two Mori Art Museum curators with those of two guest curators looking at Japan from Asia, to delve into and discuss on multiple levels matters such as the meaning of locality in 2025, and Japan's position in Asia.

Join us again in 2025 for another illuminating and thought-provoking year at the Mori Art Museum.

Mami Kataoka, Director, Mori Art Museum
