About This Recruitment:
ギャラリー宏+Gallery Hiro+ will open brand - new in [Autumn] 2025 in Ueno, the art heart of Tokyo. To celebrate the opening, we are hereby holding the first exhibition. We firmly believe that art is a language beyond national boundaries. The mission of ギャラリー 宏+ Gallery Hiro+ is to build a bridge connecting the profound cultures and arts of China and Japan with the global contemporary context. This is not just an exhibition, but also a declaration: we aspire to be a field where the rich cultural heritages of China and Japan meet and dialogue with the global wave of diverse arts. The "+" in the gallery's name "宏+" symbolizes the infinite possibility of connecting the East and the West and integrating traditions. Based at the crossroads of Japanese culture in Ueno, our vision is to create a dynamic international platform, committed to promoting Japan's unique aesthetics and philosophy to the world, and at the same time introducing the global cutting - edge art trends here, starting a cultural "two - way journey" across borders. Now we are publicly soliciting works from artists around the world. We look forward to the convergence and encounter of contemporary art works full of originality and capable of dialoguing with the world here.
