Grand Opening Celebration Exhibition
"3331 Presents TOKYO: Part 1"
26 June (Saturday) - 25 July (Sunday) 2010

We wish the new expressions which 3331 gives rise to will, while undergoing daily change, continue to realize a "new culture" of Tokyo through its network of people and communities.
"3331 Presents TOKYO: Part1" portrays the multitude of expressions which Tokyo gives life to as selected by the creative individuals/organizations based at 3331.


  • The resolution of the local, which characterizes Tokyo, is in turn the resolution of the global.
    (g³/ gallery Shigeo Goto)

  • "Infinite Possibility" is the symbol of Tokyo and it is this which forces us into earnest wandering.
    (Nana Kuromiya)

  • 3331 is a place for arts, not art. But what is the nature of this plurality? Where is the intersection of art and design? What does it mean to carry out activity in Tokyo? These questions are all interrelated I feel.
    (ASYL Naoki Sato)

  • If I say I come from Japan or if I say I come from Tokyo, there is a very different connotation.
    (Toru Kuwakubo)

  • When I think about it I have lived a long time in Tokyo. Liking the city and hating the city -emotions repeated day by day, but maybe really liking the city is like this. (Hideki Inaba)
