Tana’s latest show was a comic-heroic production by a visiting Ozark Mountain American artist LG Williams (born 1969) who utilized every centimeter of the gallery space. The big crowd gathered for the inauguration party could witness the shelf brimming with salaryman’s clothes shed as he took off to save the world.
The exhibition catalogue can be found here.

A Russian collective AES + F has finally made it to Tokyo. Their first show is being hosted by the Hong-Kong based Art Statements gallery. The group of four artists (Tatiana Arzamasova, Lev Evzovitch, Evgeny Sviatsky and Vladimir Fridkes) have been in business since 1987, surviving the now-booming, now-dead Russian art market. The current show is centered around their 2009 video installation The Feast of Trimalchio, with a selection of large and small scale digital prints displayed throughout the two floors of the gallery.
On view through March 15th. The gallery’s website has been down for sometime now, their physical address is 3-2-12 Ebisuminami, Shibuya-ku.

“sleep on the ground,” oil on cotton, 1620 x 1303mm, 2010
One of the latest additions to the Kyosumi-Shirakawa art complex Ai Kawada Gallery is showing the new works by a young painter Sachiko Muraoka. The exhibition, entitled “weather report” brings together five paintings where flickers of color paint against dark, velvety background (she uses cotton as support), are meant to reproduce memories and sensations. Unfortunately, the reproductions do not do justice to these subtle works, I suggest you see these for yourselves. The show will be open through February 26th.

“the tower of books,” 2010, animation loop
lightedge: face II is the second solo show of the artist at ARATANIURANO, one of Tokyo’s New Contemporaries. Watanabe mixes time and space in his animation and digital prints. Most of the works are in monochrome which brings out its virtual character. This show opened January 22 and will be on view through February 26.
