MR.BRAINWASH EXHIBITION “LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL” (Organizer : PARCO)

Contemporary artist MR. BRAINWASH (Mr. Brainwash = MB) will hold his first large-scale solo exhibition in Japan! Memorable opening exhibit at Shinsaibashi PARCO!

Negotiations began in May 2019 and took a year and a half to come to fruition. We have done a lot of work in inviting overseas artists, but never has it gone so smoothly.

PARCO Rui Shigeto’s quick decision, Patrick Guetta, the artist’s brother and super energetic, and Speedy Aimi Morikawa’s day-and-night communication team were wonderful. The fact that there were so few people involved may have made it possible for the event to be held so quickly.
And thanks to Aya Miyahara for introducing me to artists in 2014.

Everyone, we’re meeting in Osaka on November 20! (Jun Fukuda)
