Guest

karikakko

An art collective based in Suzu, Oku-Noto, founded in 2017 by Kenta Shinya and Hiromi Kaede.
By tracing the historical and cultural contexts rooted in the land, they create projects that foster the transformation of relationships and values by provisionally enclosing environments—where diverse things, events, and people intersect—within parentheses ( ).
Their practice explores the theme of “the medium as a corporeal means of caring for situations where subject and object are interwoven.”
Within these provisional parentheses, they discover the multiplicity of the world and continue to respond to society through their work.

beatfic experiment

A creative label based in Fukushima, Noto, and Tokyo, founded on the concept of “reconstructing Japan from the disaster areas.”
Established in November 2024, following the Noto Peninsula Earthquake, by Takumi Ito—who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster as a fourth-grade student in Fukushima.
The label develops a range of projects that reconsider the connections between people and nature from the perspective of the disaster areas, not limited to art in the narrow sense but extending to cultural practices across clothing, food, and shelter.
Through activities spanning from mountaintops in Fukushima, rooftops in Tokyo, and urban parks in Osaka, it weaves circles that cross places and generations—from rave culture to children and the elderly alike.
