In the short pause between the European art events that just ended and the cascade of Asian Art Fairs soon to follow, Frantic Gallery will launch its annual show, summarizing this year’s experiments by the gallery’s represented artists as well as exhibiting the first fruits borne from collaborations with talents that are new to us. Being opened during Tokyo Art Week and expecting an international audience, we would like to bring seven artists under one roof and underline their achieved results and future artistic direction. “2011 FRANTIC UNDERLINES” Exhibition is also a great opportunity for us to collect in the gallery space more than 40 works, which will depart to key Asian Art events right after the show, providing a chance for Japanese curators, press, and art lovers a sneak-peek preview of what’s to come. Works by Naoki Sasayama, Naritaka Satoh and Atsushi Takahashi will leave for Art Taipei to the “Uncanny and Sorrow in Monochrome and Color” Exhibition, while works of Taisuke Mohri, Macoto Murayama and Katsuya Sugimoto will be presented at the top mainland China art fair ShContemporary. After a long period of exhibition postponements and a sorrowful mood in Tokyo, Frantic Gallery will launch its group show with full force and draw 2,011 lines under the names of those with whom it would be honored to think about art together.

Artists:
Atsushi Takahashi, Cousteau Tazuke, Katsuya Sugimoto, Macoto Murayama, Naoki Sasayama, Naritaka Satoh, Taisuke Mohri
