"null*", which operates out of Tokyo, is a project unit from "artless". Incorporating a traditional Japanese aesthetic feeling, with unincumbered graphic expressions through various techniques such as typo, photo, illustration, painting, interactive, video and so on they released also their portfolio "null* book" in 2005.
Their third exhibition will be held at Sapporo "SOSO", after Kyoto and Tokyo.






For this exhibition, each of the 14 participating members gets one number from 1 to 14 and posters are designed under the keyword of the number. The whole concept "x0" is done to the given number, and then all the answers are "0". This is a play on words of "0" = "voidance" = "null". This collection would be the one that each one's interpretation of "the given number" and "0" are turned into graphics.
In this collection, original large-sized posters by "SOSO", co-sponsored by PRINT'EM, will be exhibited and sold, and also the installation of interactive works will be performed.

Moreover, the members will come to Sapporo and the opening party on the 11th of March, and perform a graphic installation + live painting.
