Japan, Tokyo Art Week nov 3-6 2022

The 2022 edition of #tokyoartweek, a key event organized in partnership with Art Basel, involved more than 50 exhibit spaces in the Japanese capital. Included among the museums and art galleries is the #flexform Tokyo flagship store, in acknowledgment of the fundamental relationship between contemporary art and #design.

The showroom’s staging was completely revamped for the event and special emphasis was placed on the new pieces in the 2022 Indoor | Outdoor Collection, for which some very eye-catching settings were designed.

Working with event curator, Yukari Suzuki, three artists – Mafune Gonjo, Mine Tanigawa, Hiroki Uemera – were selected and tasked with creating site-specific installations. Their works, displayed in different settings, drew great admiration and enthusiasm from the visitors – clients, architects, designers and art and #design afficionados – who turned out in great numbers throughout the event week.
