Eiki Mori: Moonbow Flags
Eiki Mori’s new series, “Moonbow Flags,” is his first solo exhibition in two years, featuring 24 unique photograms that layer negative film portraits with hand-drawn, white geometric shapes inspired by flags and everyday patterns. Mori aims to deconstruct the symbolic authority of existing flags and introduce new perspectives by fusing them with personal and playful elements. “This [deconstruction] exposes a nameless something, previously unworthy of respect, which quietly and forcefully flutters within everyday life and emotion,” Mori said in a press statement.

Chim↑Pom from Smappa!Group: A Hole in a Hole in a Hole
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.

Shinro Ohtake Solo Exhibition: Retina
Born in Tokyo in 1955, Ohtake is a prolific contemporary artist known for his densely layered collages and unique, multidimensional visual language. Often utilizing found objects, ephemera, magazines and more, Ohtake crafts textured worlds at once familiar and surreal, orderly and chaotic. His works explore themes of memory, nostalgia and identity. Ohtake has been producing the “Retina” series since the 1980s, inspired by exposed test film meant to be discarded. Stretching the traces of light remaining on the film then coating it with a urethane resin, he created two distinct elements — the plane of the photographic image and the transparent coating — which are unified through the viewer’s retina as a new image. These compositions are studies on the mechanisms of perception, shifting with photographic chemical reactions and the effects of time.

“Dwelling Places for Brazen Fruit” (2025) © Mannat Gandotra
Mannat Gandotra Exhibition: Containers of Madness
Mannat Gandotra, an up-and-coming painter born in India and based in the UK, presents her vibrant, energetic compositions in a solo exhibition. “Containers of Madness” refers to the idea that visual elements confined within the frame of the canvas are constantly striving to transcend boundaries. Along the way, they collide with and repel one another, while maintaining a precarious sense of harmony. According to Gandotra, her dynamic style stems from an interest in jazz music and the concept of atonality; she is inspired by sounds that reject hierarchical tonal structures, allowing chords and harmonies to emerge unexpectedly within a progression. Ragamala, a genre of Indian miniature painting that captures the melodies and timbres of traditional music, also informs Gandotra’s language.
