Extensions

There is now more time to catch some great shows. “No Man’s Land” at the former French Embassy has been extended to February 18 and the inaugural exhibition at Megumi Ogita’s new premises, a show by Nicole Buffe, will now be continuing until February 13. (Also, though Megumi Ogita has moved to another nearby location, they are retaining their old, loveably tiny space as a showcase room.)

Art Fairs

Late January was always the weekend to experience the “Art@Agnes” hotel art fair, sadly now defunct. However, Mori has come to the rescue (or at least, some organizers have chosen Mori to stage a rescue) with “G-Tokyo 2010″, a stylishly curated, medium-sized art fair in Roppongi. See our photo report from the press preview.

Mancy’s Tokyo is also holding their own international art fair in Asabujuban, featuring the likes of hpgrp GALLERY and Nichido Fine Arts. Could art fairs be going chic?

A memorable past art fair was 101Tokyo2008, held at the former Rensei Chugakkou. Now that space is set to become 3331 Arts Chiyoda, a new centre for art. There is a showcase and tour happening today (January 30). See their homepage for details.
