'''Japanese writers''' are either writers of Japanese ethnicity, working primarily in Japan, or primarily in the Japanese language. Historical Japanese names, especially, can be quite complex, where some people may have multiple names, or they might change their first name, last name or both names at different stages in their life. Furthermore, some people also have professional names, such as the [[haiku]] poets who choose haigo or [[pen name]]s. For further information see the [[Japanese name]]s article. In general the [[family name]] (or [[clan]] name) is listed first, followed by the [[given name]]. Note that this differs from the ordering used in many other parts of the world.<br />

<br />
===Visual arts===<br />
The visual arts program has been a part of the Walker Art Center since its founding. The program includes an ongoing cycle of exhibitions in the galleries as well as a permanent collection of acquired, donated, and commissioned works. Since the 1960s, the Visual Arts program has commissioned works from artists to exhibit and held residencies for artists including [[Robert Irwin (artist)|Robert Irwin]], [[Glenn Ligon]], [[Barry McGee]], [[Catherine Opie]], [[Lorna Simpson]], [[Nari Ward]], and [[Nairy Baghramian]].<ref>{{Citation<br />

===Performing arts===<br />
Live performance art is a major part of the Walker's programming and it is seen as a leader in exhibiting the medium.<ref>La Rocco, Claudia. [https://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/02/arts/dance/in-some-sweet-day-series-dance-meets-visual-arts.html "Museum Shows With Moving Parts"], ''[[The New York Times]]'', 31 August 2012.

Retrieved on 5 May 2016.</ref><br />
<br />
===Moving image===<br />
The Walker's film and video programs feature both contemporary and historical works. In the 1940s, the Walker identified moving images (mostly movies, but also experimental films) as integral to contemporary life. Artists of that time were experimenting with film's formal properties, such as light, motion, and sound, while also separating film art from conventional narrative cinema.<br />
<br />
In 1973, the Film/Video Department was officially formed and the Edmond R. Ruben Film and Video Study Collection was established, along with an endowment to fund the development of the archive. Ruben, a leading figure in film exhibition in the Upper Midwest, and his wife, Evelyn, believed in collecting films as a way of preserving the art form. Today, with more than 850 titles, the Ruben Collection brings together classic and contemporary cinema as well as documentaries, avant-garde films, and video works by artists. It holds works by visual artists ranging from [[Salvador Dalí]], [[Marcel Duchamp]], and [[Fernand Léger]] to extensive contemporary work by [[William Klein (photographer)|William Klein]], [[Derek Jarman]], [[Bruce Conner]], [[Marcel Broodthaers]], [[Matthew Barney]], [[Nam June Paik]], [[Wolf Vostell]], and experimental artists such as [[Paul Sharits]] and [[Stan Brakhage]].<ref>[https://www.walkerart.org/collections/artists/wolf-vostell/artworks?has_image=false&order=desc&order_by=Date+Acquired Works by Wolf Vostell at the Walker Art Center]</ref><br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
The Walker maintains a professional, in-house design and editorial department to fulfill its various communication needs. The department is responsible for the design and editing of all printed materials, including the creation and planning of publications such as exhibition catalogues, bimonthly magazines, and books, as well as exhibition and event graphics, signage programs, and promotional campaigns.<br />
<br />
The department also organizes design-related projects and programs, such as lectures, exhibitions, and special commissions. Over the course of its 60-plus-year history, the department has organized many important exhibitions on architecture and design and has served as a forum for contemporary design issues, bringing hundreds of architects, designers, and critics to the Twin Cities through programs such as the Insights design lecture series, which celebrated its 30th year in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogs.walkerart.org/design/2016/02/10/insights-2016-design-lecture-series|title=Insights 2016 Design Lecture Series|last=Nelson|first=Ryan Gerald|date=2016-02-10|publisher=Walkerart.org|access-date=2016-03-30}}</ref> During the 1940s, the Walker built two "idea houses" exhibiting the latest in building materials, furnishings and architectural design trends.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Walker Idea Houses|url=http://hclib.tumblr.com/post/131828863133/the-walker-idea-houses-in-1941-the-walker-art|website=Hennepin County Library Tumblr}}</ref><br />
<br />
From the late 1960s until the early '90s, the museum's design curator, [[Mildred Friedman]], helped conceive and stage exhibitions on, among other topics, the Dutch avant-garde movement [[De Stijl]], the design process at the Modernist furniture company [[Herman Miller (manufacturer)|Herman Miller]], the history of [[graphic design]], and traditional and contemporary Japanese arts, crafts and culture. For more than 30 years, the Walker has also offered the Mildred S. Friedman Design Fellowship, a yearlong program for young designers.<ref>William Yardley (September 9, 2014), [https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/10/arts/design/mildred-friedman-design-curator-dies-at-85.html Mildred Friedman, 85, Dies; Curator Elevated Design and Architecture] ''[[New York Times]]''.</ref><br />
<br />
===Digital media===<br />
The Walker's New Media Initiatives group (renamed Digital Media in 2017) oversees [[mnartists.org]], an online database of Minnesota artists and organizations that provides a digital gathering place for the local arts community. Through a partnership with the [[Minneapolis Institute of Art]], the Walker manages ArtsConnectEd,<ref>[https://artsconnected.org/ artsconnected.org]</ref> an online resource for arts educators that draws from both institutions' permanent collection resources.<br />
<br />
In 1998, the Walker acquired ''äda'web'', an early [[net art]] website curated by Benjamin Weil and designed by [[Vivian Selbo]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Dietz|first1=Steve|title="äda'web."

===Education and public programs===<br />
Learning is emphasized as a core experience at the Walker through a mix of education programs, community building efforts, and interpretive projects. The department conducts community, family, interpretive, public, school, teen, and tour programs, as well as [[mnartists.org]]. Each division offers programs and activities in visual art, performing arts, film/video, new media, design, and architecture. To inform these undertakings, the staff work with Walker curators and partners from local organizations, artists, schools, and community groups. Advisory groups such as the Walker Art Center Teen Arts Council, Tour Guide Council, and the Parent Advisory Group are also implemented in the department for the Walker to further build relationships with its audience.<br />
<br />
===Publishing===<br />
The Walker's long history of publishing includes the production of exhibition catalogues, books, and periodicals as well as digital publishing. From 1946 to 1954, it published the ''Everyday Art Quarterly''; in 1954, the publication changed its name to ''Design Quarterly''<ref>{{cite news|title=Design Quarterly|website=Walker Art Center|url=https://visualarts.walkerart.org/oracles/details.wac?id=2116&title=Lexicon|access-date=June 20, 2018}}</ref> and "shifted its emphasis away from consuming design to understanding design's impact on society and its processes and methods of practice and inquiry."<ref>{{cite news|title="A Timeline of Design History"|website=Walker Art Center|url=https://walkerart.org/magazine/design-quarterly-andrew-blauvelt|first=Andrew|last=Blauvelt|date=October 10, 2014|access-date=June 20, 2018}}</ref> It was discontinued in 1993. The Walker's in-house design studio<ref>{{cite news|title=Design Studio|website=Walker Art Center|url=https://walkerart.org/visit/studio/|access-date=June 20, 2018}}</ref> has created countless exhibition catalogues dedicated to the art of [[Marcel Broodthaers]], [[Trisha Brown]], [[Huang Yong Ping]], [[Kiki Smith]], [[Kara Walker]], [[Andy Warhol]], and [[Krzysztof Wodiczko]], among many others, as well as books on design, architecture, social practice, and other topics in contemporary art. In 2011, the Walker redesigned its homepage as an "idea hub," a news-magazine format that presents original interviews, videos, commissioned essays, scholarly writings, and newslinks. The publishing-forward homepage was hailed as a "game-changer, the website that every art museum will have to consider from this point forward" ([[Tyler Green (journalist)|Tyler Green]], Modern Art Notes)<ref>{{cite news|title=""Gamechanger": Early Reviews of the New Walker Website"|website=Walker Art Center|url=https://walkerart.org/magazine/reviews-of-the-new-walker-art-center-website|first=Paul|last=Schmelzer|date=December 5, 2011|access-date=June 20, 2018}}</ref> and "a model for other institutions of all kinds" ([[Alexis Madrigal]], ''[[The Atlantic]]'').<ref>{{cite news|title="Museum as Node: What to Love About the Walker Art Center's New Website"|website=The Atlantic|url=https://walkerart.org/magazine/design-quarterly-andrew-blauvelt|first=Alexis|last=Madrigal|date=December 5, 2011|access-date=June 20, 2018}}</ref> The site won Best of the Web awards at the 2012 [[Museums and the Web]] conference, including "Best Overall Site" and "Best Innovative/Experimental Site."<ref>{{cite news|title="Best of the Web Winners"|website=Museums and the Web|url=https://www.museumsandtheweb.com/mw2012/best_of_the_web_winners.html|access-date=June 20, 2018}}</ref> It also won a gold MUSE Award for "Online Presence, Media & Technology" from the American Alliance of Museums.<ref>{{cite news|title="2012 MUSE Award Winners|website=American Alliance of Museums|url=https://www.aam-us.org/programs/awards-competitions/2012-muse-award-winners/|access-date=June 20, 2018}}</ref> In 2017, the homepage was redesigned, and the Walker's digital publishing was rebranded under the title [[Walker Reader]],<ref>{{cite news|title=Walker Reader|website=Walker Art Center|url=https://walkerart.org/magazine|access-date=June 20, 2018}}</ref> a magazine landing page that aggregates original content from the Walker's five verticals.<br />

In April 2020, ''[[The New York Times]]'' said the Walker website was one of the best museum sites during the COVID pandemic, stating the "Walker Reader" was "an editorial arm of the museum that features debates on Indigenous art, or on how museums respond to the #MeToo movement.
