SCAI The Bathhouse is a contemporary art gallery located in Yanaka, with a town ambience reminiscent of Old Tokyo. In walking proximity to Ueno, an area dense with museums and art schools, the gallery was converted from a venerable 200-year-old public bathhouse. Take a step inside, and you will find a white cube with soft natural light descending from the high ceiling.<\/p>\n
Since its establishment in 1993, SCAI The Bathhouse has realized numerous exhibitions and commission projects. It has fostered the careers of leading artists, who has contributed to the development of post-war art in Japan as a pivotal figure of Mono-ha School, to\u00a0Toshikatsu Endo<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Mariko Mori<\/a>, who have garnered international attention for their large-scale sculptures with compelling narratives.\u3000The gallery is also establishing the global presence of next-generation talent, such as\u00a0Kohei Nawa<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Reijiro Wada<\/a>. In association with the gallery, artists such as\u00a0Anish Kapoor<\/a>,\u00a0Darren Almond<\/a>,\u00a0Apichatpong Weerasethakul<\/a>, and\u00a0He Xiangyu<\/a>\u00a0have produced new bodies of work inspired by Japanese culture. Through a number of public art projects including iconic installations by\u00a0Tatsuo Miyajima<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Louise Bourgeois<\/a>\u00a0at Roppongi Hills, SCAI The Bathhouse has been introducing the cutting edge of art into landscapes of the city, expanding audiences for contemporary art in Japan.<\/p>\n SCAI The Bathhouse seeks to function as a meeting place of various currents of contemporary art, both in Japan and abroad, and to play a leading and responsible role in the art scene. Over the decades, SCAI has produced many exceptional artists, gallerists and art directors alike. In this same ethos, the gallery continues to realize visionary initiatives, and recently opened “Komagome Soko<\/a>“, an experimental project space for emerging talents and “SCAI PARK<\/a>” which extends preservation and depot space to an exhibition site.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tokio: espacio ic\u00f3nico con contempor\u00e1neo preciso y sensible.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39531,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"b9e7b6d15e5b3662afcbbd8db24d8232_lat":"35.7217405","b9e7b6d15e5b3662afcbbd8db24d8232_lng":"139.7704848","featured_venue":"","direccion_google_maps":"6-1-23 Yanaka, Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan"},"etiquetas-del-venue":[1585],"categoria-del-venue":[1531],"ubicacion-del-venue":[2602,2603],"class_list":["post-39171","venues","type-venues","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","etiquetas-del-venue-artes-visuales","categoria-del-venue-galeria","ubicacion-del-venue-japon","ubicacion-del-venue-tokio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venues\/39171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venues"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/venues"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"etiquetas-del-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiquetas-del-venue?post=39171"},{"taxonomy":"categoria-del-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria-del-venue?post=39171"},{"taxonomy":"ubicacion-del-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ubicacion-del-venue?post=39171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
