Inside the facility, there are spaces for viewing art as well as studios (ateliers) where artists create their work.

Nakajima is an artist who creates mainly three-dimensional works using familiar ready-made objects and found objects.
Nakajima attempts to give observable “contours” to the ambiguous and elusive inner world of human beings by combining the “meanings” she perceives in such objects as leather shoes, glass balls, and other man-made objects with natural objects that retain the breath of life, such as hair, fish skin, and shells, as if they were words.
In this exhibition, with the addition of video and poetry, the contours are given a more complex and three-dimensional appearance, accompanied by “displacement” and “blurring”. Through this observation, you will become aware of “something” that is stagnant within yourself, and will surely reach out to find the words to express it.

Akira Ohtsubo is an artist who creates photographic and video works on the subject of the relationship between memory and documentation. Using cyanotype, a classical photographic technique, she attempts to visualise the ambiguous and fluid images in our memories by photographing water scenes such as seas and waterfalls with a large format camera and video, and by incorporating found photographs related to ‘water’ collected at flea markets as materials.
In the production process, the artist visually expresses the fluctuations of time and memory by layering irregular grid lines and adopting techniques such as plate shifting and multiple exposures. These techniques originate from the primitive processes of photographic expression, such as the grids drawn on the camera’s focusing glass and the exposure process in the darkroom.
When we trace our memories, fragmented images are mixed with other memories, and lost parts are complemented by new experiences. Otsubo quietly scoops up such reconstructed memories and presents them from a distance, as if looking into the distance. It is also an attempt to depict the strata of memory that continue to flow, where the past and present intersect.
