The Tokyo LOVE Show is the official launch of Keep A Breast Japan, the newest international branch of nonprofit organization The Keep A Breast Foundation.
This exhibition is the largest collection to date of Keep A Breast Foundation Breast Casts™. These casts represent a unique, ongoing cancer awareness campaign that combines sculpture, charity, and personal expression to communicate feelings about breast cancer and the female form. Each piece is the result of a partnership between castee and artist, and each is a celebration of women and awareness.
Exhibition curator Yasha Young has brought together over 100 artists from across Asia, Europe and North America under the theme "LOVE". We chose this theme because LOVE is what we believe the world needs most. LOVE is a universal language, and this is reflected in the diverse group of talent on display. These artists represent nearly 15 countries and many genres, from graffiti-influenced street art to traditional fine art.
The castees are also an international group, who remind us that breast cancer can impact women of all origins. They have contributed to an amazing expression of LOVE that will help us silently revolutionize how we think about cancer, support and prevention.
Proceeds from the sale of all casts will benefit Keep A Breast Japan's breast cancer awareness and prevention programs.
Opening reception: may 24th 2012 by invitation only
