Liminal spaces have become widely known through internet memes in recent years, but artists have long explored the idea of being in-between under terms such as avant-garde and alternative. The exhibition Backrooms (Found Bodies) views the liminal spaces circulating online today as a sign of the failed dreams of these earlier movements, rather than as truly liminal spaces.
This satellite exhibition brings together works by participating artists who question what it means to be liminal today, alongside a lecture by critic Yohei Kurose, curator of Backrooms (Found Bodies). The exhibition is presented in two parts. The first takes place at The Shop Specialty Store, while the second will be held at Ihirena in Toyonaka, Osaka, from December 12–20, 2026 and January 7–24, 2027.
