FOIL will cerebrate its 5th Anniversary this year.
As the special event, we welcomed world-renowned artist Yoshitomo Nara and held artist talk on a roof of a fashion building in Tokyo on 20th September. The talk was developed with Yoshitomo Nara and FOIL's director Masakazu Takei who's been known since Takei edited Nara's book for the first time. (FOIL also published many of Nara Yoshitomo's books, all of which are of course best-seller in all over the world!!) Although he was just returned from Iceland, where he is having an exhibition, he kindly let us hear variety of interesting stories without showing signs of fatigue. From the story of their encounter, trips they went together, their favorite hobbies (particularly the music-lover artist's favorite songs!!) to about Yoshitomo's lates works and upcoming exhibitions, it continued about 2 hours as if not coming to the end forever . In sipite of the evening chill, it seems many of the audience really enjoyed the night. To our surprise, Yoshitomo Nara signed them all with such cute illustrations!! These must be the heirloom... #

This summer, Korean blast has blown into FOIL.
Firstly, to accompany the major exhibition featuring Korean contemporary art at Marugame Genichiro-Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art, the same titled exhibition catalogue DOUBLE FANTASY has published in the middle of July. This first major group exhibition which features very cutting-edge Korean contemporary art runs till 12 October 2009, and the catalogue is available at the museum as well as book shops in your town! Invited a guest curator, Kim Inseon and co-organized with Gallery Factory, both from Seoul, we also presented a group exhibition of Korean contemporary art, Made of Layers from 17 July to 8 August. With the variety of works of 4 artists+duo, this profound, and multi-dimensional exhibition had fascinated great numbers of visitors here. One of the participants, Shin Kiwoun's sensible and beautiful pieces of video work can still be viewed in the Marugame Museum's show, DOUBLE FANTASY! To draw to an end to this Korean series, we participated in an art fair held in a hotel in Busan, ARTO BUSAN ART FAIR. To make the best of the fair in a hotel we exhibited works, in the entrance, on the bed, on the window frame, or hang on the wall. By installing in rather usual, everyday space in stead of formal gallery spaces, the works show more familiar, casual moods depending on the each different time of the day, weather and such, and suggest us how to enjoy the art works as interior objects. #
