AssemblyLanguage is an independent English-language source for Tokyo avant-garde culture and Japanese contemporary art. Most of the art reviews were written by Monty DiPietro, who writes a weekly contemporary art column in the Japan Times newspaper and is the Tokyo correspondent for ARTnews magazine. The image galleries feature work by contemporary artists in Japan. The News / Essay section includes commentary and stories by DiPietro and freelance art journalists Satoru Nagoya and Georgina Adam. Nagoya's essays originally appeared in the Tokyo Plant, while most of Adam's pieces were first published in The Art Newspaper or The Asian Art Newspaper. And in the Poetry / Prose area you'll find contemporary poetry and prose from Tokyo and Japan-based writers, some of it translated by our poetry chief Taylor Mignon, who writes the column Poetry Mignette in the Japan Times. AssemblyLanguage also offers translation and art consultancy services for clients around the world.
