EXHIBITION
EVERYDAY ENCHANTMENT
This is the first in a new series of exhibitions organized at Chanel Nexus Hall in collaboration with Hasegawa Lab, an incubator for the next generation of curatorial voices led by Yuko Hasegawa. Curated by Tetsumi Kayama and Finn Ryan of Hasegawa Lab, “Everyday Enchantment” invites visitors to rediscover the magic hidden in the everyday and explore the beauty found in the liminal zones between the human and the nonhuman, the organic and the synthetic. On view will be new works by Umico Niwa, Muku Kobayashi, and Bianca Bondi. Niwa’s sculptures, made using organic and foraged materials, allude to alternative identities unbridled by preconceived ideas of the body or gender; Kobayashi’s installations place everyday objects in unusual configurations informed by his background in information design and sculpture; and Bondi’s mystic tapestries depict the microscopic lives of moss and crystal.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, Chanel Nexus Hall was established in 2004 as a venue dedicated to the spirit of Gabrielle Chanel, who was an impassioned patron of art, music, and fashion. The space is known for showcasing creativity in all its forms and pushing the boundaries of contemporary art through programming that seeks to reflect the reality of an endlessly diverse world at a pivotal moment of technological change. By engaging artists, curators, and practitioners, the venue fosters cross-cultural exchange and acts as a crucial platform for dialogue and artistic collaboration.
