This group exhibition features the six artists who have passed the first two rounds of the selection process to become finalists for the 2nd BUG Art Award. On October 8th (Tues), BUG will hold a public final selection round, upon which the recipient of the grand prize will be determined. The selected winner will hold a solo exhibition at BUG roughly one year later, receiving a maximum of 3 million yen creation budget (including setup and de-installation), along with an additional artist fee.

The BUG Art Award is given to early-career artists by Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd. The selection committee fosters the artists’ growth throughout the jury process, offering support such as artistic feedback, advice on exhibitions and their preparations, and more.

The plan for the exhibition is decided by the six finalists, who discuss the artwork placement and use the BUG space to simulate its installation. These six artists were selected from a pool of 265 applicants.
