东京画廊

抱着建设文化架桥的使命，东京画廊+BTAP中发掘年轻有为的中国、日本、韩国等亚洲地区的艺术家。落幕以来BTAP组织所办的展览已超过了35个，它包括建筑，雕塑，油画，装置和行为艺术等活动。画廊的短期目标是与国际上的年轻艺术批评家，策划人以及艺术家合作，这目标已完成了。所要实现长期计划，东京画廊+BTAP和田畑幸人先生希望能继续推广亚洲的各个城市之间的交流包括北京、东京、汉城以及台北。

798艺术区东京艺术工程5周年纪念展东京画廊从七十年代开始关注韩国当代艺术，并从八十年代后半叶介入中国当代艺术，2002年东京画廊在北京大山子地区建立了BTAP即“北京东京艺术工程”。

Located in Northeast Beijing, BTAP (Beijing Tokyo Art Projects) is re-using a 400m2 old, abandonedEast German-build Bauhaus munitions factory that was built in the early 1950s. After years of planning, in 2002 Yukihito Tabata established Beijing Tokyo Art Projects which can be seen as an experimental project of Tokyo Gallery. His father, Takashi Yamamoto, has been at the forefront of the Asian art world for over half a century. He founded Tokyo Gallery in the 1950s, which helped to launch the career of Japanese painter Kazuo Shiraga, introduced to Japan famous Western artists like Yves Klein and Lucio Fontana, Chinese artists like Xubing, whose works have been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institute, CaiguoQiang, the recipient of the 1999 Venice Biennale International.

“物派”展览现场With the challenging mission to build a cross cultural bridge, Tokyo Gallery+BTAP is focusing on young promising Asian artists- Chinese, Japanese, Korean and others. Since its opening BTAP has organized over 35 shows on architecture, sculpture, painting, installation and performance art. The short-term goal of the gallery- to collaborate with both international and Chinese young art critics, curators and artists, has been accomplished. In long-term, Tokyo Gallery+BTAP is continuing the work started by Mr.Yukihito Tabata on expanding the network among different Asian cities, including Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul and Taipei.
