I'm happy! The reason I'm happy is I love art, and this month a total of four -- yes four -- new contemporary art spaces opened in Tokyo.
On Oct. 15, the folks who organize NICAF (the sporadic Nippon Contemporary Art Fair), debuted their Nishi Azabu art showroom, "Glass House." Three nights later, Command N (Masato Nakamura's avant-garde collective) previewed their new office and gallery in a renovated old house in Yushima. Later that same evening, 500 guests joined Johnnie Walker to fe^te the incorrigible art impresario's new two-story gallery, A.R.T. Ebisu.
And of course, the main event: Friday, Oct. 17 was the much-anticipated opening party at the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi.
