Yasha Young was asked to participate in this major museum exhibition on lowbrow, pop surrealism and urban art by contributing with some of her artists and to write an essay for the show's catalogue. The exhibition takes place in Rome November 7th, 2009; it is sponsored by the Mayor of Rome.

"As the Greek expression "apokalypsis" means "revelation", "disclosure" or "doomsday", it suggests a new dawn for art movements and trends such as the Pop Surrealism, the Neo Pop, and the Urban Art, with their various expressions and new shades of colors.

These new forms of art reflect the Zeitgeist of our era, and seem to satisfy people’s desire to identify in an object or in a message. Aware of the power of their ideas, these artists have fought for being admitted to the current circle of celebrities by pulling down the wall of ignorance right after having decorated it with color spray cans and with pop symbols." - from the MACRO proposal on Apocalypse WOW!

This project was designed to bring an overview of contemporary Japanese art to Germany. Featuring the latest in both traditional as well as contemporary (digital) media, it is about bringing the latest art by young Japanese artists to Berlin. As an on-going project, a definite date for the first exhibition has yet to be scheduled.

Yasha Young was asked to be a member of this council by the British company in 2009. The Vauxhall Collective recognises new creative talent in the UK and provides a platform for innovators in fields as diverse as film, fashion, craft and design, photography, fine art, and theater.
