MOT Annual is a group exhibition featuring young Japanese artists, with a focus on a unique aspect of contemporary art. The 2020 event looks at the invisible powers around us such as gravity, magnetism, and friction, and the works on display will center around those themes.
Some of the artists involved with this year's event include Junya Kataoka and Rie Iwatake, who are known for kinetic art installations where physical energy forms like magnetism and wind are applied to everyday objects. Other exhibitors include Yoko Shimizu, Yuta Nakajima, Goh Uozumi, and Gaetan Kubo.
Adult admission to the special exhibition is priced at 1300 yen.
The Tokyo Museum of Contemporary Art is located approximately 9 minutes walk from the B2 exit of Kiyosumi Shirakawa Station, served by the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line.
Alternatively, from Kikukawa Station on the Shinjuku Line, take the Toei Bus bound for either Shimbashi, Fukagawa Shako, or Kiba Station, and alight at Tokyoto Gendai Bijutsukan.

I'm an expat who has lived abroad for almost a decade, including 7 years in Japan. I've also visited 44 of 47 prefectures and hope to get to the last three someday! I'm particularly fond of exploring off the beaten path destinations, gardens, and tea houses, and have a real interest in Japan's growing vegan scene.
