If you prefer to take your weekly or monthly art fix in one big dose but aren't so keen on the frenzied, shopping-mall-at-sale-time atmosphere that sometimes characterizes the big art fairs, biennials, triennials and whatever else they've come up with, G-tokyo may be just what you're looking for. This three-day event brings together 15 of Tokyo's top contemporary art galleries under one roof at the Mori Arts Center Gallery at Roppongi Hills, where they will exhibit "solo artist shows or curated projects." The stated aim of this first-time event is to offer "seasoned and beginning art collectors an extremely rare opportunity to experience the diversity of the Japanese contemporary art world."
Participating galleries include text tokyo favorites like Scai the Bathhouse and Wako Works of Art, but this time we're particularly looking forward to getting an eyeful of Neo Nihongan Akira Yamaguchi at the Mizuma Art Gallery booth and German artist Thomas Demand, presented by Taka Ishii Gallery.
The preview on Friday, January 29 is by invitation only, but the show will continue over the weekend (11 am to 8 pm both Saturday and Sunday). Entry is 1000 yen. See you there!
