Jam Sessions are joint showings of works from the Ishibashi Foundation Collection and works by contemporary artists. For the first Jam Session, Artizon Museum is pleased to welcome Tomoko Konoike. Konoike sees human beings as creatures undergoing repeated transformations. She carefully rethinks the types and categories represented by museums in the modern period created and is trying to recast them in ways that suit our lives today. Her perspective is far from the conventional artist-centric point of view. She borrows from people she meets when traveling and employs a host of natural phenomena – methods of the earth – as her media.​ ​

The Artizon Museum, formerly the Bridgestone Museum of Art (opened in 1952), opened in January 2020 as a new art museum in Kyobashi, Tokyo. Artizon is a word coined from the combination of the words "art" and "horizon," and expresses the museum's intention to give visitors a sense of the horizons of art that are opening up the future. The concept is to "experience creation". In addition to the highly acclaimed Impressionist and Japanese modern Western-style paintings, the Ishibashi Foundation has expanded the scope and depth of its Collection to include post-war abstract paintings and modern Japanese art. The exhibition rooms are located on three floors from the 4th to the 6th and are equipped with the latest lighting and air-conditioning systems to provide a wide variety of art experiences.
