Living Together is Easy brings together the diverse practices of six Australian and six Japanese artists. Jointly organised by the National Gallery of Victoria and Contemporary Art Center, Art Tower Mito (ATM) in partnership with the Japan Foundation and the Asialink Centre of the University of Melbourne, the exhibition is an ambitious collaborative project and result of cultural exchange. Living Together is Easy seeks connections between regional specificity and cultural identity, global politics and interpersonal relationships, biodiversity and sustainable ecologies, and the natural and constructed environment.

The participating artists are: Tetsuya Nakamura, Kaoru Motomiya, Tabaimo, Taro Shinoda, Tadasu Takamine and Akira Yamaguchi, Rosemary Laing, Fiona Hall, Susan Norrie, Samuel Namunjdja, Ricky Swallow and David Rosetzky.
