Soh Gallery opened its doors in the Kichijoji section of Tokyo in 1985 as an art gallery dedicated to organizing exhibitions of the works of outstanding contemporary artists.  In 2001 the gallery moved to the Koganei section of Tokyo, where it is presently located. Soh Gallery mainly organizes exhibitions of Japanese contemporary artists  working in a wide range of media from painting and other 2-dimensional work to sculpture, photography, ceramics and sound art in the forms of exhibitions, installations and performance. Adopting the attitude that an exhibition should be an opportunity for the artist to search for new possibilities and directions for the future, we meet frequently with the artists to plan the exhibitions together. This is Soh Gallery’s ideal of the role a gallery should play, and it requires and long-term, working relationship with the artists. Within the context of these working relationships we have produced numerous CDs, videos, portfolios and print editions, etc. We also produce catalogues for the exhibitions and artists we handle.
