preview: herbest at kaikai kiki's hidari zingaro, feat. chikuwaemil

fresh off covering kaikai kiki's hidari zingaro debut at art platform for hi-fructose, i can tell you that "herbest" will be an exciting group show. while the hidari zingaro initiative isn't new, "herbest" coincides with the launch of its space re-dedicated to emerging japanese artists. chikuwaemil is among 50 artists supported by "herbest". here is a preview of chikuwaemil's contribution.


the theme of "herbest" is boy and girl artists inspired to do his or her best artwork, co-curated by kim okko of ubeful. the average age of these young artists is 18-25, chosen from a mix of kaikai kiki gallery regulars such as ob, cyon, mi, and japan's pixiv website. (read my post on kaikai kiki x pixiv's "miku" exhibit here.)

in support of chikuwaemil, i will be flying out to tokyo for the weekend to attend the artist reception on october 15th, 2011. the "herbest" exhibition runs october 10 - 18th, 2011. this will be my first weekend trip in japan, which is kind of refreshing. if you are in japan, i highly recommend this exhibition for every reason. for venue hours, location, and more information, please visit our events page.
