Alternative! Kazuko Koike Exhibition: Soft-Power Movement of Art & Design
3331 Arts Chiyoda is pleased to announce the holding of "Alternative! Kazuko Koike Exhibition -- Soft-Power Movement of Art & Design". The exhibition will be held from Saturday, January 22nd - Monday/National Holiday, March 21st, 2022
Founder of the first alternative space in Japan, Kazuko Koike led the dawn of the Japanese creative industry from the 1960s as a copywriter, editor, and planner of design-related events. Since the 1980s, she has conducted various activities in the field of art. While the alternative space "Sagacho Exhibit Space" established by Koike served as a place for emerging artists to present their works, it had inspired hope for both pure and practical thinking towards our contemporary society.
This exhibition will be divided into two areas: "Meson" and "Sagacho". They will revolve around works by artists who embodied Koike's passion for contemporary art. It will provide a comprehensive overview of work by Koike, who has cultivated the soil for nurturing artists and creators from behind the scenes -- beyond the realms of copywriting, editing, translating and curation, -- and will also present a close examination of the trajectory of artists and creators from the same period.
