The exhibit Feelin’ Groovy! Walk Around New York with Genichiro Inokuma is now on view at the Marugame Genichiro-Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art (MIMOCA) until September 5, 2021 (Sunday). To showcase the appeal of Genichiro Inokuma (1902–1993) from a fresh angle, the organizers invited as “chief editor” Hitoshi Okamoto and as “deputy editor” Taka Kawachi to produce the exhibit. Like Inokuma, Kawachi happens to be a former resident of New York.This first part of a conversation between Okamoto and Kawachi explores how they first learned of Inokuma and what the two rediscovered about the artist’s appeal.Photos by Takeru Koroda
