nmp - network museum & magazine project

nmp was founded in 1996.

Through interviews, reviews, opinion, news and specially commissioned on-line artwork, nmp brings together writers, curators, artists, thinkers and critics from Japan and around the world, to examine the state of contemporary art today, and set the standards for dialogue and media coverage of the arts into the future.

Brought to you from the heart of Tokyo, and covering Japan, Asia and the entire span of the contemporary art world, nmp is Japan's first bilingual contemporary art review on the Internet.

The Container-ship project was commissioned by Tom Vincent, editor, nmp international.
