Shiseido Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Shiori Watanabe, an emerging artist whose enigmatic, scattered installations of tanks and planters, connected by circulating water systems and filled with plants, fish, and bacteria, have been attracting increasing attention. Often installed in abandoned domestic spaces, the artist’s meditations on the dynamics of local ecosystems and the relationships between nature and humans offer clues to how we might live in the future. This exhibition will feature a new installation that extends throughout the entire gallery space.

Since opening its doors in 1919, Shiseido Gallery has been one of Japan’s most vanguard art spaces, continually dedicated to the ideal of “discovering and creating new values.” The gallery has held over 3,100 exhibitions, many serving as the public debuts of artists who would later make major contributions to the development of art in Japan. The program ranges from group shows, such as the Tsubaki-kai series of collaborative exhibitions, to ambitious solo projects by leading artists including Ishiuchi Miyako, Kimsooja, and Ming Wong. The gallery has occupied the basement level of the Tokyo Ginza Shiseido Building since 2001. Invited artists frequently respond to the expressive possibilities of this space, distinguished by its five-meter-high ceiling and a mezzanine that provides an expansive view of each exhibition.

Dining options on-site.
