Business Shutdown: Shop and Café to Cease Operations
The art world is buzzing with excitement as two new exhibitions are set to grace the Los Angeles scene. The first, KESHIKI: The Landscape Within, is a contemporary ceramic exhibition that promises to captivate audiences with its stunning displays. However, it's the second exhibition, BAKERU: Transforming Spirits, that has everyone talking.
Produced by the renowned Japanese art and design studio, WOW, BAKERU: Transforming Spirits is an interactive, participatory exhibition that invites visitors to step into a supernatural world of Japanese folk traditions. This exhibition, aimed at younger, digital-native generations, aims to provide broader access to local Japanese culture to audiences beyond the region.
The remodeling of the 2nd floor space, including the gallery and the shop, at the Los Angeles location will take place from June 21 through July 16. After the remodeling, BAKERU: Transforming Spirits will be available for local, domestic, and international visitors during the summer season.
The remodeling will temporarily close the gallery and the shop for a period, but fear not! Further details about the BAKERU: Transforming Spirits exhibition will be released in the July Newsletter. And if you can't wait that long, more exciting plans for the exhibition are underway, so keep your eyes peeled for updates.
One unique feature of BAKERU: Transforming Spirits is the availability of special masks for visitors to wear, adding an extra layer of immersion to the experience. The exhibition is designed to make Japanese culture more accessible, targeting a wider audience and extending its reach beyond the region.
The BAKERU: Transforming Spirits exhibition at the Los Angeles website starts September 3, 2025, and runs through November 16, 2025. The opening reception is on September 13, 2025, from 1 to 6 PM.
Meanwhile, the current exhibition, KESHIKI: The Landscape Within, will conclude on June 20. If you haven't had a chance to see it yet, be sure to visit before it's too late!
Whether you're a seasoned art enthusiast or a curious newcomer, these upcoming exhibitions promise to be a treat for all. Mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable journey into the world of Japanese art and culture!
