The full-scale and solo exhibitions by Jean-Paul Goudea, Alberto García-Alix and Frank Horvat will be their first exhibitions in Japan.

Alberto García-Alix (Spain) who is enthusiastically popular in Europe (Spain) and Frank Horvat brought a new dimension to the photography fashion in the 1950s, and is recognized as one of the most influential photographers supporting the golden age of the genre.

Masahisa Fukase and Yukio Nakagawa are two artists whose exhibitions mark their first posthumous retrospective exhibit in Japan. Also some young artists works will be exhibited in a photographic platform. The popular Chinese artist Liu Bolin, Tomomi Morita who won the 2017 KG＋ Award and Izumi Miyazaki who attracted international attention while she was still at university via internet postings, will be there too.
