The Shiseido Gallery will hold "Tsubaki-kai 8ー This New World 2nd Season "Quest" from August 27 (Sat) to December 18 (Sun), 2022.
The “Tsubaki-kai” is a group show launched in 1947 with the reopening of the Shiseido Gallery following the wartime suspension of its activities. Named after the camellia (tsubaki) of the Shiseido symbol mark and grounded in the belief that art can offer hope and courage, Tsubaki-kai exhibitions have been staged even at times of post-war restrictions, disaster, and recession, out of a desire to help the world flourish once more. Serving as the main exhibition of the Shiseido Gallery for over 70 years now, and featuring a different lineup of artists in every era, the Tsubaki-kai has showcased the work of a total of 86 talented art practitioners.
The eighth Tsubaki-kai consists of Hiroshi Sugito, Ryuji Nakamura, Nerhol, Futoshi Miyagi, Aiko Miyanaga, and [mé]. Their cross-genre activities, collaborations, and team-based production make all these artists especially representative of their era. Shiseido Gallery will present three exhibitions to ponder the possibilities and challenges of a post-corona “new world.” In 2021, the featured theme was “Impetus,” 2022 is the year of “Quest,” and 2023 will be the year of “Culmination,” with the participating artists identifying new questions as they follow the processes involved in addressing these three themes, over time delving increasingly deeper into those questions, and their respective responses.
