Permanent Collection
YAMAGIWA Mitsuhiro
Yamagiwa’s works – tiny thing I lost, halfway, I cannot be you, and tales of absence– are sited unobtrusively in various interstices around the Towada Art Center.
As you walk from one gallery to the next, look up, look down, stop, turn around, go back and forward, and in the gaps, you may just encounter a certain point or two in time. Yamagiwa Mitsuhiro

YAMAGIWA Mitsuhiro
Born 1969 in Nagano, Japan. After graduating from Tokyo Zokei University, Yamagiwa worked as an editor for an art and design publisher while pursuing his career as an artist. He was commissioned to create a permanent work for the opening of Arts Maebashi in 2013, reflecting how the building interior and exterior interrelate and how people move through the space. His group show participations include “Welt in Liestal̶Japan im Palazzo” at Kunsthalle Palazzo (Liestal, Switzerland, 2016), “Century idee Bauhaus̶a drj Project with 100 International Artists” at drj (Berlin, Germany, 2019), and “scene” at Koumimachi Kougen Museum of Art (Nagano, 2019).
