    For your pleasure Cai Guo-Qiang MATRIX 204 Chiho Aoshima MATRIX 205 Angela Bulloch MATRIX 206 April 23 – August 3, 2003 University of California Berkeley Art Museum MACRO MATRIX 205 “The pleasure of life is according to the man that lives it, and not Chiho Aoshima according to the work or the place.”—Ralph Waldo Emerson1 MACROMATRIX: For your pleasure is an exploration of a particular phenomenon in contemporary international art: artists making works that give something back to the viewer. This spirit of generosity is an approach to conceptual art that has emerged since the turn of the millennium. While every work of art contains the possibility of providing the viewer a transcendent experience, the works by Chiho Aoshima, Angela Bulloch, and Cai Guo-Qiang on view in MATRIX foreground experience. These three installations utilize nontraditional forms and cutting-edge technology to offer values long sought and found in art: glimpses of beauty and moments of pleasure. Beauty and pleasure, experiences that had always been synony- mous with art, were suppressed when Minimalism, an anti-emotional movement, took hold in the 1970s. That beauty has reemerged in art was confirmed by the 1999–2000 Regarding Beauty exhibition at the Hirshhorn Museum. And, as the visitor to For your pleasure will encounter, sensual pleasure is back as well. Chiho Aoshima “Pleasure is continually disappointed, reduced, deflated, in favor of strong, noble values: Truth, Death, Progress, Struggle, Joy, etc. Its victorious rival is Desire: we are always being told about Desire, never about Pleasure.”—Roland Barthes2 Tokyo-based Chiho Aoshima uses a giant printer to create large-scale digital works featuring a unique world of big-eyed girls, hybridized nature, and candy-colored environments.

Lisica ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the impact of Superflat theory and practice of the artist and curator, Takashi Murakami. The thesis aims to analyse how contemporary transnational artistic activity functions via the work of Murakami and Superflat artists, including Chiho Aoshima and Aya Takano. From the blockbuster group exhibition, Super Flat, curated by Murakami, which debuted in the United States in 2001 at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, to the 2007-2009 ©MURAKAMI retrospective traveling from Los Angeles to Brooklyn then Frankfurt to Bilbao, the synthesis of ideas is showing the way to unprecedented directions in contemporary art. This investigation also links Murakami’s work to that of American Pop artists Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons and explores how Superflat art functions within and contributes to the already distorted area between parallel structures, such as high and low, fine art and commercial production, or East and West.
