GALLERY SOAP

Gallery Soap, an alternative space in Kitakyushu, was launched to introduce artists from both home and abroad in 1997. Since then, we have organized exhibitions and events featuring various artists, including Dan Graham (US), Peter Harry, Charles Rim (Singapore), Miti Rangritia (Thailand), CANDY FACTORY, Hiroshi Fuji, Keita Egami, Yasuhide Moriyama, Umi Ishihara, Soh Souen and BABU. The combined efforts of artists and researchers also led to the hosting of many exhibitions based on projects such as RE/ MAP (organized with Yoshitaka Mouri), Kitakyushu International Biennale (organized with Yoshihide Otomo), and HOTEL ASIA PROJECT (organized with Ni Kun, Chinese curator), in Berlin, Vienna, Bangkok, Chongqing, Tokyo, and Yogyakarta.
In 2019, we established the commercial sector to introduce and sell the art works, mostly of youngsters. We have participated some art fairs including Art Fair Asia, Art Fair Tokyo and EAST EAST.
