New art space

Mizuma Art Gallery opened a second venue. The top space already has a sister gallery in Beijing. Where could they open their third venue? Shanghai? New York? No, they opened one in Ichigaya, Shinjuku. (You know, where you can go fishing in the Outer Moat.) Fear not, the gallery is not going to abandon its notoriously run-down (and no doubt cold) building in Nakameguro just yet; it will continue to operate as “Mizuma Action”, though they will be closing one of their floors at the end of the year.

William Andrews

William Andrews. William Andrews came to Japan in 2004, around the same time Tokyo Art Beat launched. Sadly, these two events, though equal in their significance for Japan, remained unconnected for some years. Meanwhile William lived in Osaka, working as a teacher and a translator for Kansai Art Beat. He came to Tokyo in 2008 and, when not exploring art galleries, can often be found in the city's theatres. He writes on the performing arts for The Japan Times and a blog about Tokyo contemporary theatre: www.tokyostages.wordpress.com » See other writings
