Business Overview
SIDE CORE is an art team that develops art projects in public spaces and streets. While his activities have been attracting more and more attention in recent years, this is his first large-scale solo exhibition in Tokyo. For example, SIDE CORE focuses on the unique public nature and systems of cities, and creates works by intervening and negotiating with them, such as filming expressways, railroads, and underground waterways in a special way, installation works using street lights, guardrails, and road construction signs that can be seen in public spaces, and documentary images of a mouse doll walking through Tokyo at night. His style of expression is constantly expanding and updating, and he is an artist who is currently in progress. In addition, this exhibition extends not only to the inside of the museum but also to the surrounding environment, and visitors can see how the imagination of the city expands through art.
