We are pleased to present a group exhibition featuring 17 artists based at the Art Factory Jonan Island studio. The exhibition will be held in a former art warehouse characterized by its brick walls, and will run from Saturday, June 20, 2026, to Wednesday, September 23, 2026, divided into two phases: the first and second halves.
“The title ‘Bricks’ conceptualizes the works and creative practices of each artist and creator as individual bricks. This exhibition brings together works—primarily small-scale pieces—that vary in technique and expression. Just as bricks of different colors and shapes are stacked to form a wall, the relationships between these diverse artists emerge within the art warehouse. While the participating artists’ interests and approaches are diverse, and their materials, techniques, and themes vary, this exhibition places great importance on presenting these differences as they are. By focusing on the distance and resonance created when individual works are placed side by side, the exhibition is structured to allow visitors to experience the reality of the relationships, solidarity, and expansiveness of the space among artists within the shared studio environment.
Furthermore, the exhibition will undergo a rearrangement from July 29 to 31, with the second phase of the exhibition beginning on August 1. As the layout changes, different impressions emerge within the same space. The fact that a new experience emerges depending on when you visit is one of the distinctive features of this exhibition. Please note that Art Factory Jonan Island is scheduled to close for an extended period later this year due to reconstruction. This exhibition also serves as an opportunity to showcase the studio’s current state at this pivotal moment. We hope you will experience the creative atmosphere of Jonan Island in this space where individual works resonate with one another.”
