1980YEN

1980YEN is a fast culture art group comprising Teppei Kuroyanagi, Food Man, Fast Boy, ShiShi Yamazaki, Neji Sato, and Hikari Senshi. 1980YEN boldly samples elements of contemporary fast Japanese culture such as online shopping, and converts them into colorful and kitsch audiovisuals. The unit mainly creates sound and live performances. 1980YEN’s interdisciplinary and multimedia work has been featured in international art exhibitions and large festivals, including installations at the Yokohama Triennale, Shin Minato Village, and Aichi Arts Center.
