3331 Trans Arts

Named after the bilingual magazine that 3331 Arts Chiyoda produces every few months, this autumn's 3331 Trans Arts exhibition eschews conventional artists in favour of – to quote the extravagantly pretentious blurb on the gallery's website - 'those who are pursuing the "essence of art" through projects, groups, units, businesses and the very transformation of existing configurations to reach beyond genre, era, region, media and structure'. In practice, that means a varied bunch including creative agencies Kayac and Party, web portal Bioart.jp and martial arts-esque performance group Contact Gonzo. But will it 'become a space of unexpected chemical reactions' as promised, or merely degenerate into a big mess? There's only one way to find out.
