GEIJUTU DOJO Grand Prix Photo Report
- In the summer of 2001, “GEIJUTU DOJO Grand Prix” was conceived as a sub event of the Takashi Murakami solo exhibition “Summon Monsters? Open The Door? Heal? Or Die?”, and was held on September 2 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (MOT). The day before the exhibition, there was an unbelievably long queue of exhibitors waiting to bring their artworks.
