Art, Anti-Art, Non-Art: Experimentations in the Public Sphere in Postwar Japan, 1950-1970
March 6–June 3, 2007
At the end of World War II, Japan was left in ruins and in a relative cultural void. Numerous anti-establishment artistic collaboratives emerged during this period, notably Jikken Kōbō/Experimental Workshop, Gutai, Group Ongaku, Tokyo Fluxus, Neo Dada, Hi Red Center, Vivo, Provoke, and Bikyōtō. These collectives eschewed traditional commercial art practice in favor of radical work that provoked its audience conceptually, politically, and socially. In experimenting with new materials and processes of art making and disruption of conventional art forms, the work of these artists reflected the dramatic changes and disjunctive character of everyday life in Japan over the course of two decades following the war. Drawn exclusively from Research Library holdings, the works presented in Art, Anti-Art, Non-Art range from musical scores and photo essays to performance documentation and interactive art kits.

Travel the world in search of art treasures! Compete against others or against yourself while you get to know works of art from the Getty Museum.
Whyville (www.whyville.net) is an online world where kids can chat with other kids from all over the globe and earn a salary of "clams" by playing games. Use your clams to create your own face, build a house, and even start your own business. The games on Whyville are fun because they give you real-world problems to solve.
Whyville has been around since 1999 and most of the games are about scientific problems. But now the Getty has added games about art!
Here are some more of the things you can do on Whyville:
Build a rocket launcher that will get the Space Shuttle to the Space Station safely.
Rescue aliens trapped on Earth by using the sun to locate them.
Help discover a cure for WhyPox, a contagious disease that has hit Whyville.
Play Chinese Checkers, Mancala, Tic-Tac-Toe and other games against real people.
