Short Introduction of NIMO
New Ikebukuro Montparnasse Organization (NIMO) is NPO group for independent
artists established at
February 2010. The organization is officially supported by Tosima-ku Tokyo
Japan from April 2010, and our
members are composed by artist, crater, and musician at any genre. NIMO’s
main activity is organizing art
event for our members and support each artists to develop and enhance quality
of Japanese art culture.
NIMO is inspired by Ikebukuro Montparnasse, artist village existed around
1930s in ikebukuro city
Tosima-ku Tokyo. During the 1930s many young artists set up studios in
Tokyo's Ikebukuro district, and
many avant-garde artists worked together and developed Japanese art culture,
artists including Saburo Aso,
Masaaki Terada, Shunsuke Matsumoto, Iwami Furusawa, Ichiro Fukuzawa, and
Kikuji Yamashita. Our activity
aim to reproduce the artist village with our artists to contribute enhancement
of Japanese artists motivation
and development of Japanese art culture.
Exhibition Experience in London
The group exhibition in London is our first project in the foreign country.
The main aim for this group
exhibition is to provide experience and opportunity to have inter-cultural
communication at artistic area for
our artists. We believe that it is great opportunity for our artists to
see reaction from audience in London and
we hope that it will be chance for artists to express themselves to the
world with through their artwork, also
to get some inspiration from their experience.
The concept of our group exhibition would be “ out put from Japan”, in
the other word, the concept is
committed to each participating artists. In this group exhibition, there
are almost 30 artists at many genres,
such as painting, fin art, sound art, photograph, ceramic art, illustration,
calligraphy, and sculpture. We would
like to our audience to enjoy their free expression, also find some consistency
from their art works. We hope
that this exhibition will develop some rapport between our audience in
London and Japanese art.
