Consuming bodies : sex and contemporary Japanese art

Fran Lloyd (Editor)
"In this book the analyses of the imagery of sex and consumerism move far beyond the gallery and into the public and private spaces of the city and the nation, worlds where the complex network of relationships powered by gender, class, race and commerce are directly encountered in both the fast-changing consumer market-place and the dominating ideologies within Japanese society. This is a society in which contemporary art, and indeed the artist, still have a somewhat precarious place, circumstances that have contributed to the frequently provocative and confrontational art made by Makoto Aida, Hiroshi Masuyama, Koji Tanada and other leading figures in contemporary art."--BOOK JACKET
