NANJO Information

Since it was founded in 1991, NANJO and ASSOCIATES has planned and implemented numerous projects and programs related to Japanese, Asian and international art and architecture. In particular, the staff of NANJO and ASSOCIATES have curated exhibitions of contemporary art, have coordinated art related symposia, and have edited and published catalogues and books on contemporary art and architecture. We have also planned, curated and overseen a numerous number of public art and corporate art projects. In addition to the activities of NANJO and ASSOCIATES, the related non-profit organization, Arts Initiative Tokyo, has operated and planned a wide range of art programs such as art education programs and artist in residence program in Tokyo. Arts Initiative Tokyo particularly focuses on building art related programs to contribute to our society and international art world for our future. Art has existed as a means of human expression since the time of the rock paintings in Tassili-n-Ajjer and Lascau. NANJO and ASSOCIATES intends to continue to undertake new tasks from global viewpoint and to ask what kind of culture or art we should bequeathed to our descendants.
