This catalog documents the 2024 exhibition Ei Arakawa-Nash: paintings are popstars, the first solo museum exhibition in Asia by Ei Arakawa-Nash, a Japanese American artist who has been at the forefront of renewing the visibility and advancement of performance art internationally since the 2000s. The exhibition is a solo show by Arakawa-Nash, but the works of more than fifty musicians, painters, and others who collaborate with him also appeared in the national museum space. During the show, each of the paintings and pieces of music were be worshiped as if it were a pop star with its own aberrant presence, and Arakawa-Nash generated performances inspired by the attitudes of pop stars.
