In Photo Reports by William Andrews 2009-10-25 print

In a city where even the big galleries are tucked away, it is inevitable that there are some hidden gems. Clear Edition and Gallery is one of those.

TABlog went along to the Shibuya gallery for the reception party held to celebrate French artist K-narf (Frank Le Petit) finishing his two-day art project, a work-in-progress exhibition where he created images through peeling off printed photos to discover new shapes and forms.

Clear Edition and Gallery sits in an unassuming residential street.

The camera used to capture K-narf's progress over the two days. There was also a screening of the speeded-up film documenting K-narf's work.

The exhibition also culminated in the release of K-narf's book 'wonderland trip' and some neat playing cards.
