“void+” is an experimental art space run by a design studio, “Azone+Associates“. We have a gallery space that curates contemporary art exhibitions from a unique point of view, as well as a salon like space where people from various fields get together and communicate. Based in these two distinctive spaces, we have been organizing various activities related to art.

“Void” means “empty space”, and “+” means “sum = plus”. In Japanese, we describe “+” as “WA”. The Chinese character for “WA” represents tranquility, relaxation, and harmonious communication. void+ doesn’t have a specific hue. We are aiming the spaces to be neutral, the space hue changes from time to time according to the relationships with people around and in the space. Escaped from the bustle of main streets, the time passes slowly at this place. In this environment, we are looking for new possibilities in the creativity being free from the existing fields.
