Gallery Collaborations

Established in 2011, and have continually participated in international art fairs as NADA Miami and Paris International, KAYOKOYUKI works mainly with Japanese artists, introducing contemporary art around the world while respecting the course of Japanese contemporary art cultivated by grand forerunners. Artists represented include Yohei Imamura, Shiho Kagabu, Yu Nishimura, Ayako Ohno, Emi Otaguro, Hikaru Suzuki, Michi Suwa, Daichi Takagi, and Masanori Tomita.
KAYOKOYUKI organizes exhibitions not only with artists it represents but also with galleries and artists from various countries and backgrounds as a means to contribute to a further development of contemporary art within Japan. Additionally, the gallery co-works with artists with unique perspectives towards the mysteries behind experiences—incorporating ephemeral images derived from various objects in their lives—and aims to realize works, which act as an apparatus in providing hints for coexisting, in this society of divergent values and social fragmentations.

Crèvecœur, founded in 2009 by Axel Dibie and Alix Dionot-Morani has, since its creation, presented artists from France and the rest of the world whose different practices question current conditions for producing images and objects. The gallery sees itself as a body that supports the artists in the various stages of production, demonstration and dissemination of their practice. Through its work inside the gallery space—now a 160 sq.m. space with natural light that can host ambitious exhibitions; through the co-creation, since 2015, of a new alternative fair called Paris Internationale; and through support for production of the institutional shows of the represented artists, Crèvecœur is an entity which aims to adapt, in an organic way, to the challenging systems that contemporary artists experience today. In June 2021, the gallery opens a second space near the Orsay Museum.
