Nanae Mitobe “I am not an object”
“project N” is a series that Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery runs to introduce emerging Japanese artists.
Past participants have included Yuichi Hirako and Urara Imai, and the series is well known as a gateway exhibition for young artists. As the gallery’s first show of 2022, Nanae Mitobe stepped into the spotlight. The solo exhibition is titled “I am not an object.”

The venue is the “Corridor,” a long, narrow gallery on the floor above “Gallery 1 and 2” where the main exhibitions are held. *See the map below.

For this show “I am a not Object,” an unprecedented number of large-scale works were lined up in this long, narrow space, creating a striking exhibition environment.



















The Corridor, filled with the thick scent of oil paint, was an incomparable exhibition space in which the energy pouring out of the works came surging through.
