    —

    ,

    Photographer Nobuyuki Kobayashi has a new exhibition, appropriately called “Platinum,” starting today at Gallery Fukka in Jimbocho and running until March 3. This exhibition is photographer Nobuyuki Kobayashi’s first exhibition of only platinum prints. Few people, especially in Japan, know exactly what a platinum print is. After taking a photo with a large format camera…

  • Jaaaaaaa!

    —

    I’m not quite sure what it’s all about, but the latest post on PMKFA‘s blog is the image seen above. Sounds like some good news! Jaaaaaaa!

    The Shift Blog has just posted all the winning works for their “Mobile Art Competition.” I just wish they would have put up a QR barcode to easily access the mobile site that lets you download the works (and having a bilingual mobile page would be nice too).

  • Graniph + Canada

    —

    ,

  • Bespoke Tokyo

    —

    ,

    Today’s edition of THE JAPAN TIMES has a piece on Nicole Fall — editor of the Tokyo LUXE guide — and Charlie Spreckley — former editor-in-chief at METROPOLIS — who talk about their new venture, Bespoke Tokyo, a service that “offers visitors, however short or long their time in Japan, a unique experience, tailor-made to…

    ,

    A few photos from the “Under the Shade of Green Leaves” exhibition by Argentinian artists Julian Gatto (pictured above) and Guillermina Baiguera, at the newly moved HPGRP Gallery (from Ginza to Aoyama). This is the first show at the new location, and the photos were taken tonight during the show’s opening (it runs until March…
