Editor's Note by Satoshi Koganezawa

Needless to say, the collection of art works is a political activity, and has always been so historically.　We can also see an extremely political and violent attempt, in the embarrassing naming of “neoneo boys” as well as "Neoteny Japan", to establish a certain fixed concept of the age, the artist, or the work using this influential language as a tool. This exhibition shows not only the collection works, but also the strong desire of the sponsors to locate those collections historically and socially. The artists seem victims for being categorized by the trivial naming.
