MISAKO & ROSEN is based in Tokyo, Japan. The gallery represents 28 artists, half from Japan and half from abroad. The operates according the principle that “Art is not a competition” and strives to help foster collaboration and cooperation while developing an alternative to the profit-driven mode favored by the mainstream of the contemporary art world; an art -world- which is indistinguishable from any other unregulated -market- . The gallery places an emphasis on the literal, favoring artists who do not shy away from humor. Abstraction and the scatalogical define us.
