Trans-PortⅡ
Artists from ”Art Brut Japonais Ⅱ”
Art Brut Japonais Ⅱ, an exhibition showcasing works of Japanese Art Brut in France, opened from 8 September as part of "Paris Tokyo Tandem 2018". Nine out of fifty-two Japanese Art Brut artists from this exhibition were introduced in Hachioji, including the works by Japan's two leading Art Brut artists, SAWADA Shinichi and SUZUKI Marie, as well as five artists whose works are shown outside Japan for the first time. Visitors enjoyed the attractive works created with original ideas from various materials including unreleased works, such as animals made by folding fallen leaves, creatures colored brilliantly on the outlines drawn with a wood burning pen on wood, and unique collage-like paintings of parts of a face.

Tokyo Shibuya Koen-dori Gallery, which opened in Jinnan, Shibuya-ku in 2017, has been pursuing ways to increase diversity in society through art in cooperation with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The gallery is temporarily closed for renovation will reopen in FY 2019.
Prior to its grand reopening, the gallery will hold three exhibitions in Tokyo under the title of "Trans-Port" throughout the year. Just as many ships visit from distant countries and exchange diverse cultures at a real port, the objective of this project is to provide opportunities for visitors to discover many different types of expression and people. Each exhibition has its own different theme to find out how art could contribute to diversity from three different points of view.
