Remote Sensing: Identity, Place, and Culture in Contemporary Japanese Art
1 - 23th May 2025
Opening Thursday 1 May, 5-7pm
George Paton Gallery
Level 1, Arts and Cultural Building 159
University of Melbourne
Gallery hours: 11am to 5pm Monday to Friday

Featuring works by Kyoko Imazu, Umi Ishihara, and Ana Scripcariu-Ochiai. Curated by Hina Omukai.
Remote Sensing explores the evolving nature of Japanese art in a globally connected world. Far from monolithic, contemporary Japanese art today reflects a diversity of voices shaped by diasporic lives, local traditions, and international perspectives. The exhibition brings together three early-to-mid-career Japanese artists from different parts of the world whose practices are deeply rooted in personal narratives and transnational experiences.
