Overview of EASTEAST_TOKYO 2025
EASTEAST_TOKYO is not just an art fair; it represents a movement cultivated by cultural practitioners in Tokyo who share a passion for innovation in art. Established on principles of independence and solidarity, this fair encourages collaborative exploration of contemporary art's role in society. Since its inaugural event in 2020, which uniquely addressed the impact of the pandemic on art and galleries,
EASTEAST has rapidly evolved into a vital exhibition, shifting its location in 2023 to the
Science Museum where it attracted roughly
10,000 visitors.
The upcoming edition, which will be the third, aims not only to expand participation from local artists but also to feature international galleries, adding a global dimension to the dialogue about art.
A Rich Program for Attendees
The fair's program includes participation from
26 galleries and spaces from Japan and Asia, featuring an array of disciplines such as video, sound, performance art, and interactive discussions. Notably, this edition of EASTEAST_TOKYO will host
13 new domestic galleries alongside
three international showcases, providing a platform for diverse perspectives in contemporary art. Curators
JACKSON kaki and
non-syntax will lead projects like the
EE_V/S/P Program, and attendees can look forward to immersive performances addressing human existence and relationships presented by the
Stilllive Performance Platform.
Additionally, the
EE_Kitchen & Bar will serve as a social gathering space, where attendees can network and discuss pressing issues in the art world, reflecting the fair's commitment to community engagement.
