About Take Ninagawa

Atsuko Ninagawa established Take Ninagawa in Tokyo in 2008 as a gallery dedicated to promoting emerging and historically significant Japanese artists in a cross-generational, international framework. Represented artists build upon precedents in Japanese postwar experimental art while developing unique approaches for addressing contemporary concerns. International artists in the gallery program are invited to respond to the context for contemporary art and culture in Japan while giving expression to the broader perspectives they bring with them.

Each exhibition at the gallery is conceived on a project basis, with artists encouraged to develop ideas across series of exhibitions. Driven by a mission to produce new values that can challenge entrenched power structures in art and society, Take Ninagawa frequently collaborates on initiatives with other galleries in Japan, the Asia Pacific region, and beyond.
