biscuit gallery+AWASE gallery

biscuit gallery is a contemporary art gallery founded in January 2021 in pursuit of new possibilities of art. We aim to provide a platform for emerging contemporary artists to thrive while creating a space where the general public can engage with art more freely. With the slogan "Global Action," we dedicate to connecting with the world through art, promoting cultural diversity, and fostering creativity.

AWASE gallery is a space operated by architect Riku Matsui and artist Kohei Yamada, based in """"nudge field."""" In this space, exhibitions centered around solo and group shows by visual artists are organized, with the goal of creating a place where new values emerge through the intersection of architecture and various media cultures.

The annual programming is supervised by Kohei Yamada, who focuses on visual art, while Riku Matsui incorporates architectural perspectives and diverse ideas from various fields to develop the programs. Some exhibitions may feature collaborative projects between artists and architects, where architectural techniques or elements are integrated into artworks, or where artists engage with architectural spaces in new ways. Through these processes, the gallery aims to expand the possibilities for expressions that have never been seen before. AWASE gallery proposes a new exhibition experience, centered around the fusion of architecture and art.
