Hagiwara Projects

HAGIWARA PROJECTS was established in Tokyo in January 2013. The gallery aims to present within an international framework both emerging Japanese/foreign artists as well as career artists whose
The artists introduced by the gallery have the sensitivity and energy to examine their own deepest questions and express them through their mediums, while taking into account the framework and context of contemporary art. We hope to introduce works that are not merely new in appearance, but that allow the viewer to connect with them in their depths.
The gallery produces 4-6 exhibitions per year, including solo exhibitions of its own artists and invited artists, curated group exhibitions. Currently represented artists include Miho Dohi, Shunsuke Imai, Maiko Jinushi, and Zak Prekop. In addition, the gallery has introduced foreign artists to the Japanese art scene, such as Joanna Piotrowska, Alain Biltereyst, and Josua Abelow.

KAITO Itsuki, Nana Matsumoto, Emi Mizukami
“Fungal Fugue” at Paris Internationale 2023

HAGIWARA PROJECTS is pleased to announce the group show ‘Fungal Fugue’ by three artists: KAITO Itsuki, Nana Matsumoto, and Emi Mizukami, at Paris Internationale 2023.
The three artists, gathered through Mizukami’s initial interest in Aby Warburg, a historian of art who collected and independently systematized a variety of patterns from different cultures and times to create an image map, share a common approach in creating their works by collecting and referencing multiple motifs from external sources while employing different formats. The title of this show, ‘Fungal Fugue,’ represents the shared artistic essence of the three, where images organically interconnect like fungi while sometimes leaping in meaning and interpretation.
