Interview with Julian Ross

Julian Ross is co-curator of Community of Images: Japanese Moving Image Artists in the US, 1960s-1970s. Lee Stabert chats with him from his home in Amsterdam about what drew these Japanese artists across the world to New York City, the contemporary issues reflected in the featured works, and the power of cross-cultural collaboration.

Artist Profile - Yukihisa Isobe

2023 was when I first met artist and urban planner Yukihisa Isobe. He welcomed me and my colleague Go Hirasawa to his home in Tokyo, with many materials laid out for us to view. Starting there, he led us through his work and connections to ethical ecology, archeological art installations, design & healing, socially-engaging practices.

Donate to CCJ

Collaborative Cataloging Japan (CCJ) is an international, 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, documenting, and disseminating the legacy of Japanese experimental moving image made in 1950s—1980s, in order to enable their appreciation by a wider audience.

Without this effort, this unique sector of Japanese cultural heritage, which historically has been underrepresented and unsupported, would remain available to only a very few. Buried in artists’ studios or independent archives, many works are in danger of literal disappearance as film and video mediums continue to deteriorate.

The scope of moving image focus includes: fine art on film and video, documentations of performance, independently produced documentaries, experimental animation, and experimental television. For more information, please visit:
