Date: 29th April 2015, from 6.45 pm Venue: Free World Centre, 60 Farringdon Road, London EC1R 3GA This event is ticketed. Full price £5.00, concessions available Chim↑Pom, the six-strong artist collective known as the enfant terrible of Japan's art  scene, create distinctive works that challenge contemporary social problems, and the  realities that we choose not to see. Formed in Tokyo in 2005, the group's approach is  underscored by the use of found objects, mass media, and chance. Chim↑Pom work mainly  in video but their many mixed medium creations look beyond traditional aesthetic  standards to construct coded narratives that drive compelling messages about limitations  and boundaries, both literally and figuratively. Through critical thinking and creativity  they tackle themes including urbanisation, celebrity, and more recently, the tsunami and  nuclear incidents of 3/11. Fresh off their success at this year's Prudential Eye Awards, where they won not only "Best Emerging Artist Using Digital/Video" but were also named "Best Emerging Artist of  the Year", two members of this provocative collective, Ryuta Ushiro and Ellie, have been  invited to map Chim↑Pom's diverse career. Preluding their first group exhibition in London,  by the mountain path held at the White Rainbow Gallery, they will explore how they came  to be and why their work pushes the limits of contemporary Japanese art and the Japanese  art scene. After their presentation, Ushiro and Ellie will be joined in conversation by  Dr Sook-Kyung Lee, Research Curator of Tate Research Centre: Asia-Pacific. This event is organised in association with Free Word, White Rainbow Gallery and  Mujin-to Production. The exhibition by the mountain path will be held at White Rainbow Gallery from 29 April to 20 June 2015.
