Tennozu Gallery Anomaly Presents Chim↑Pom from Smappa!Group
Chim↑Pom from Smappa!Group’s “A Hole within a Hole within a Hole” extends the collective’s practice of intervening in societal issues with both urgency and humor. The exhibition revolves around the concept of the “hole”— ranging from urban infrastructure like manholes to macroscopic space debris — as a multilayered metaphor for wreckage, absence and invisibility, prompting a critical re-examination of things society tries to discard or forget. By spotlighting these unseen domains, Chim↑Pom challenges conventional urban order and space.
The artist collective Chim↑Pom was established in Tokyo in 2005, and consists of Ryuta Ushiro, Yasutaka Hayashi, Ellie, Masataka Okada and Toshinori Mizuno.
