Gallery Collaborations

Established in 2006, Takuro Someya Contemporary Art (TSCA) showcases and supports emerging and established Japanese and international artists working across various media. Since 2018, the gallery has been located in the TERRADA Art Complex in Shinagawa, Tokyo. Founded by Takuro Someya following his time at SCAI THE BATHHOUSE, TSCA has partnerships with artists including Kenjiro Okazaki, Enrico Isamu Oyama, Rafaël Rozendaal, Mai Yamashita + Naoto Kobayashi, Mayumi Hosokura, and Ryoichi Kurokawa. The gallery places great value on close communication with artists and takes an active role in production support, exhibition planning, and artwork handling.

Beginning with the exhibition of works by Yoshishige Saito, TSCA has in recent years expanded its focus from contemporary art to a program that illuminates and builds on connections between the art of the 20th century and our present moment. TSCA is also committed to collaborative projects with international galleries that showcase the work of shared artists and highlight developments in artistic fields across boundaries.

Founded in 2009, TKG+ privileges experimentation in art across different mediums, from video and photography to installation and new media. With a special focus on video art in the new media age, TKG+ delves into aesthetics of the moving image and its place in contemporary art. This exploration not only blurs the boundary between mediums, but chronicles contemporary artʼs engagement with history, society, and culture. The trajectory of the gallery delineates its endeavor to promote and support the most significant contemporary art from the region, through collaboration with artists and curators, exhibition research, as well as the nurturing of the art collecting scene.
With its support of Taiwanʼs video art scene, TKG+ deepens its roots by encompassing intriguing artists not only from Taiwan, but from Southeast Asia, interlinking the global community with contemporary art that transcends geographical barriers. This endeavor resonates with Director Shelly Wuʼs philosophy: Running a gallery focused on contemporary art is a journey through art history and contemporary life, where art and economy are not mutually exclusive, where art is a portraiture of life and a way of reflection; dynamic adaptability, a prerequisite for the fulfillment of artistic ideals. As its name suggests, TKG+ believes in the exponential growth and possibility of art in the 21st century.
