Special Group Exhibition 'ART POTLUCK, KYOBASHI'

A captivating collective exhibition named 'ART POTLUCK, KYOBASHI' will kick off at Gallery & Bakery Tokyo 8 Minutes. Set to run from September 12 to September 29, 2026, this event marks a significant collaboration among three renowned galleries: KOSAKU KANECHIKA, Tomio Koyama Gallery, and Yutaka Kikutake Gallery.

Curatorial Vision

The title 'ART POTLUCK' references the popular social gatherings where participants bring their own dishes, symbolizing the sharing of diverse artistic perspectives from the three galleries involved. This concept allows emerging artists to showcase their works, shedding light on the diverse aesthetics of all participants. The exhibition emerges from last year’s event 'Tokyo Gendai 58min' and notably includes Yutaka Kikutake Gallery's first participation in this collaborative effort.

The exhibition promises to present an enticing mix of art styles and ideas from the talented artists represented. Featured works include:

• - Yutaka Aoki’s 'Untitled' (2023): A dynamic acrylic piece measuring 162.0 x 130.0 cm exhibited by KOSAKU KANECHIKA.
• - Satoko Nachi’s 'Order' (2026): An oil on canvas artwork showcased by Tomio Koyama Gallery, measuring 53.0 x 65.2 cm.
• - Bo Yang’s 'Two Moons' (2026): An oil on canvas featured through Yutaka Kikutake Gallery, with dimensions of 65 x 100 cm.

Exhibition Features

Gallery & Bakery Tokyo 8 Minutes, the host venue, combines the experience of exhibiting art with enjoying freshly baked goods, creating an engaging environment for visitors.
