JUN KOSHINO COMPILATION Gallery Yamaguchi kunst-bau, Osaka, Japan 2025 9/2 – 2025 10/18
This exhibition is the fourth in a series of re-examinations of Jun Koshino’s past works, held consecutively since May of this year. The word “COMPILATION,” used as the exhibition’s subtitle, is commonly employed in the world of music but is also a term that conveys the idea of “editing.” This time, the artist himself will rearrange the works several times during the exhibition period, creating an exhibition where the artist “compiles” his past works anew. We hope this series of solo exhibitions will not only serve as a reexamination of past works but also become a source of new creative energy for the artist.

During this exhibition period, I held a conversation with Jun Koshino. The conversation is available for viewing on YouTube (in Japanese).

Additionally, I am curating Koshino’s exhibition as part of the first installment of “Trans/Real: The Potential of Intangible Art,” in 2016, which I am curating as a guest curator. For details about this exhibition, please refer to the link below.
