Packet N: Tossup 12

In 2013, the Guggenheim restaged a work from this country that consisted of polyethylene tubes filled with colored water and suspended like hammocks. The manifesto of a movement from this country declares “lock these corpses into their (10[1])tombs” and vows to bring life to material rather than “falsify” it. (-5[1])An artist (-5[1])from this country was inspired by Jackson Pollock and Allan Kaprow’s “happenings” for a performance in which he rolled around in a pile (10[1]-5[1])of (10[1])mud wearing loincloths. (-5[1])Another (-5[1])artist from this country (10[1])created an alias of a cartoonish, large-eared mouse called (10[1])Mr. DOB. (10[2])That (10[1])artist (10[1])from this country (10[2])designed the cover of Kanye (10[1])West’s (10[3])Graduation (10[11])using his trademark (10[3])“superflat” (10[1])aesthetic. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, name this country home to the Gutai Art movement and Takashi Murakami. (10[1])■END■ (10[7])
