The ‘DAVID BOWIE is’ Japan Exhibition Committee will host ‘DAVID BOWIE is’, the first international exploration of the extraordinary career of David Bowie, one of the most pioneering and influential performers of modern times.
The exhibition opens on the 8th January 2017, the day that would have been Bowie’s 70th birthday. Exclusive to the exhibition in Tokyo will be an additional section, which will showcase brand new interviews with Takeshi Kitano and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Bowie’s co-stars in the film “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” (directed by Nagisa Oshima, 1983). They will be talking about David Bowie and looking back at one of the first collaborations between David Bowie and Japanese creators. This section will explore the emotion, the creativity, and the aesthetic sensitivities which Bowie revealed to a Japanese audience.

Seen by 1.5 million people worldwide at venues in London, Toronto, Sao Paolo, Berlin, Chicago, Paris, Melbourne, Groningen and Bologna, ‘DAVID BOWIE is’ comes exclusively to Tokyo, its only Asian venue.
