Gallery Collaborations

WAITINGROOM was founded in the fall of 2010 in Ebisu, Tokyo, and has been based in the Edogawabashi–Kagurazaka area since 2017. The gallery is dedicated to presenting contemporary artists whose practices transcend specific media or formats, engaging with ideas that traverse the boundaries of society, culture, and technology.

We value a wide range of approaches, including works that, rooted in critical themes such as gender, embodiment, memory, and identity, reveal the intersection between personal narratives and social structures; poetic and physical expressions that explore material, space, and sensory perception; and practices that navigate between digital and analog, physical and virtual, to offer new ways of understanding the world.

Our represented artists include Yuki Iiyama, Nobuaki Itoh, exonemo, Saya Okubo, Rikako Kawauchi, Yuki Onodera, Naho Kawabe, Fuyuhiko Takata, Fumika Tsuchitori, and Saori Miyake.

MANGROVEGALLERY was established in 2020 in Shenzhen, China, with an emphasis on arts that push the boundaries of concepts and mediums. The gallery seeks to engage with domestic and international artists, curators, and institutions. MANGROVEGALLERY supports experimental projects developed within local context, fosters interregional, international, and cross-industry exchanges, and explores the possibilities in the contemporary art ecosystem.

MANGROVEGALLERY currently works with Enzo Cucchi, Daniel Knorr, Nevin Aladağ, Liang Quan, Jiang Zhi, Wei Jia, Sun Xun, Li Liao, Wu Li, Fang Kai, Lin Ke, Li Binyuan, Tan Jing, and Hou Yijie.
