Mado Lounge, Mori Hills 52F
Tis the season after all, and art loves a party. But with whom? Event organizers Art Lounge think with anyone creative. Founded this year, the group looks to bring together Tokyo's often isolated creative communities — the fashion, design, music, architecture and art worlds — in ephemeral exhibitions at the city's trend-setting clubs. So far they've presented works by modern nihonga (Japanese-style painting) artist Fuyuko Matsui and French 1950s S&M photographer Pierre Molinier at Aoyama's La Baron and French video art collective Colcoz at Roppongi Hill's Mado Lounge.
This coming Sunday night, they'll be giving the Mado Lounge (www.ma-do.jp) on Mori Tower's 52nd floor over to gallerist Shinji Nanzuka, who will install works by veteran painter Keiichi Tanami (currently showing in Nanzuka's Shibuya gallery; www.nug.jp), young artist Hiroki Tsukuda and designer/DJ Alexander Gelman. Other DJs spinning from 9 p.m. till late include DE DE MOUSE, Traks Boys and Fran-Key, and the band Ill — which contains former members of Supercar — will also play a live set.
