Shibuya Parco gets ready for a rebirth
Tokyo¡¯s famous Shibuya Parco shopping mall will be closing for a planned three years from Aug. 7, but not before its lauded museum of pop culture puts on a series of three attendance-worthy exhibitions for shoppers to check out after perusing fashion goods.
The first is the work of popular photographer and ¡°Sakuran¡± film director Mika Ninagawa, whose ¡°In My Room¡± series features celebrity boys in high-fashion duds as they let down their guard for her camera lens (June 18-July 4, ?500). The second is ¡°Hyper! Harumi Gals!!¡± by Harumi Yamaguchi, an airbrush illustrator who was a catalyst for women in the Japanese advertising industry during the 1970s and ¡®80s, and a longtime collaborator on Parco¡¯s early ads (July 6-25, ?500).
