One of Tokyo’s newest and hippest gallery spaces\u00a0TANA Gallery Bookshelf<\/a> finished up their first year in style with an artist talk by Ryuta Ushiro of\u00a0Chim<\/em>\u2191Pom <\/em><\/span>and a one-day show of\u00a0SHIBUYA=SHIBUHOUSE<\/strong>, a collective of young artists (the core of the group are students at the likes of Geidai and Musashino Art University), and frequently rotating “non-artists.” Because of the direct correlation between the amount of gallery space and risk aversion TANA\u2014a gallery in a bookshelf, literally\u2014can afford to show risky works and artists and to remain outside of Tokyo’s commercial artrace.<\/p>\n

TANA displays and archives the most cutting edge works produced in the city, filling the niche between commercial galleries that choose their art, for the most part, on the promise of sales and international recognition, and the weekly-rental underworld in which many young artists are forced to operate.\u00a0Its criteria for choosing exhibitions is the quality of the projects themselves, with no consideration given to financial consequences of the shows. Yet, TANA is not a fringe pro bono gallery. The tongue-in-cheek statement under the heading “Non Non-commercial” posted on the gallery’s website tags it\u00a0as : “an independent gallery indifferent to commercialism,”<\/span><\/span> that welcomes “commerce … without commercialism.”<\/span><\/span> This model of operation where art supersedes money is refreshing but not at all utopian\u2014TANA more than deserves to be on Tokyo’s main gallery-hopping route.<\/p>\n

I will do a separate posting shortly on the SHIBUHOUSE <\/strong>activities; this was my first encounter with the group and I look forward to learning (and reporting) and their gonzo activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
