Under the Tracks

Under the Tracks is a contemporary art and ceramics gallery nestled under the Toyoko train line 5mins walk from Nakameguro Station that pops up every weekend in the design studio of consulting firm, Fabric. Divided into two spaces, the larger hosts temporary exhibitions, typically 2~4 weekends long, ranging from prolific Japanese ceramic artists to some of the UK’s most celebrated contemporary artists. The smaller space is a permanent “select shop” open every weekend and some holidays featuring an evolving exhibition of works by innovative Japanese ceramic artists, from ¥2,500 coffee mugs to ¥250,000 objét. It also sells prints and pieces from previous exhibitions. Curated by Natsume and James Hollow, exhibitions express their interests in creating spaces between genre and cultures for innovation, and identifying fresh talent to break through and established artists to break boundaries.
