The latest exhibition at Spiral:

In keeping with their “fusion of daily life and art” concept, Spiral presents another volume of the “Take Art” art fair that took place for the first time in 2003. The more than 80 featured artists range from big names such as Yokoo Tadanori or Araki to up-and-coming talents like Nawa Kohei, Sawada Tomoko, or Takagi Masakatsu, who keeps producing his video art around the world. Besides paintings, photographs and other two-dimensional works, the highly varied lineup of items on show includes also a number of three-dimensional pieces. The total number of displayed artworks amounts to over 400, all of which can be purchased at reasonable prices. You will surely find at the spiral-shaped venue some art items to pep up your home with. (REALTOKYO)

It ends November 7.

Update: I was able to check it out yesterday, and recommend that you do the same. One of the best things I’ve seen at Spiral.

OK, so I complained about how far the Claska Hotel is from Meguro station, but it doesn’t mean that I won’t be going there again, especially with the Jumble 2004 exhibition happening at the Claska Gallery at the end of the month (October 26-29). Have a look at the participating artists and brands:

It’s presented by GAS.

This sounds like something to check out.

Have you ever thought about how the nightscape of Tokyo in the year 2050 could look like? The “One million people’s candle night” is enjoying popularity, so maybe the habit of using flashy lights will disappear, but we might as well experience a growing development of LED and other lighting technology that will result in even more dazzling brightness. This event gives a total of 119 designers, photographers, architects, artists and others the chance to show their ideas of the city’s nightscape in 2050. Under the direction of Mende Kaoru, who is responsible for the lighting in the Roppongi Hills complex, the likes of Astrid Klein + Mark Dytham, Oiwa Oscar Satio, Uchida Shigeru, Igarashi Taro, and others contribute to a unique exhibition by presenting their presumptions in texts and visuals.

It starts today at the Matsuya store in Ginza, and ends November 8.
