    MONO-HA

    A follow up to our Gutai post, Mono-ha was the subsequent Japanese movement in the late 1960s that continued, expanded and distilled the ideals of its predecessor.

    Their aim was simply to bring ‘things’ together, as far as possible in an unaltered state, allowing the juxtaposed materials to speak for themselves. Hence, the artists no longer ‘created’ but ‘rearranged’ ‘things’ into artworks, drawing attention to the interdependent relationships between these ‘things’ and the space surrounding them. The aim was to challenge pre-existing perceptions of such materials and relate to them on a new level.
