The Facts
On October 30, 2026, the Mori Art Museum announced 'Mariko Mori: All That Shines,' Japan's first major retrospective of the artist since 2002. The exhibition runs from October 31, 2026, to March 28, 2027, at the museum in Roppongi Hills, Tokyo. Co-organized with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, the show features 40 works spanning more than three decades, including performance-based photography, video, drawing, sculpture, and large-scale interactive installations. Key works include 'Wave UFO' (1999–2002), the first artwork to use brainwave bio-feedback, and 'Tom Na H-iu' (2006), which visualizes neutrinos from supernovae. The exhibition is co-curated by Alexandra Munroe, Senior Curator at Large at the Guggenheim, and Kataoka Mami, Director of the Mori Art Museum.
The Signal
The retrospective arrives at a moment when the art world is increasingly engaging with indigenous traditions and technological futurism, positioning Mori's practice as a bridge between spiritual inquiry and cutting-edge science. For collectors and curators, this survey offers a rare comprehensive view of Mori's evolution from 1990s cyborg imagery to immersive installations exploring consciousness and cosmic interconnectedness. The collaboration with the Guggenheim signals institutional validation that may elevate Mori's market standing and scholarly attention, particularly for her large-scale works that blend art, technology, and environmental themes.
