ASHU’s WORKs
ライター&コーディネーターの中西多香と編集者の中西大輔により2008年に設立後、ASHUは、アジアのアーティストを日本に、日本のアーティストをアジアに積極的に紹介しています。
2010年には、シンガポールにて木村裕治展(2月)、GROOVISIONS展(4月)(共にJapanese Hot Designersシリーズとして)、および田名網敬一とシンガポールのクリエイティブ集団 :phunk(ファンク)による2つのコラボレーション展(奇想都市-生成と崩壊/Eccentric City-Rise and Fall展(8月)、:phunkTanaaMIX展(10月))、さらに東京・青山のDIESEL DENIM GALLERYにて :phunkの日本初個展“WELCOME TO ELECTRICITY”(7月〜10月)を企画制作しました。
2011年以降、拠点である日本をアジアにおける文化的なハブと捉え、世界各国のアーティストとの様々なプロジェクトを展開中です。
Established in 2008 by the writer and coordinator Taka Nakanishi and the editor Daisuke Nakanishi. ASHU has been keen to introduce Asian artists toward Japan and also Japanese artists toward other Asian countries.
Produced in 2010 the exhibitions of Yuji Kimura (Feb.) and GROOVISIONS(Apr.) (both in the “Japanese Hot Designers series”), 2 collaborative exhibitions between Keiichi Tanaami and Singaporean creative unit :phunk entitled “Eccentric City - Rise and Fall”(Aug.) and “:phunkTanaaMIX”(Oct.) in Singapore, and another exhibition of :phunk “WELCOME TO ELECTRICITY”(July), which is their first solo exhibition in Japan, held at DIESEL DENIM GALLERY in Aoyama, Tokyo.
Considering our base Tokyo as the cultural hub in Asia, ASHU would develop a variety of projects collaborating with artists around the world from 2011.
