Team 15 Mihokanno
Tokyo Wonder Site C Aoyama, Tokyo
A natural intersection of individual purposes. Mihokanno is an artist collective that is made up of eight artists and one designer. Their newest works showcase the artists' mutual inspiration, while highlighting the refreshingly innovative outcome of the process from the production stage to the eventual exhibition, which even the artists could hardly predict.
Artist：
MIHOKANNO (Yousuke Bandai / Masaya Chiba / COBRA / Saeka Enokura / Daisuke Fukunaga / Soshiro Matsubara / Aya Ohki / Shuji Yamamoto / Ryohei Seita [designer]）
MIHOKANNO: A natural intersection of individual purposes. MIHOKANNO is an artist collective that is made up of eight artists and one designer. Tokyo Wonder Site has previously introduced the works of Soshiro Matsubara, Saeka Enokura, Masaya Chiba and Cobra of MIHOKANNO, in the "Zone", "Index #2", "Ritual" and "O Collection" exhibitions respectively. While each member has been in the spotlight for his/her novel style of expression, it was their eagerness to explore not entirely visible horizons that drew them together quite naturally to form MIHOKANNO as a body that reflects in a way cross sections of one person's character. In their roles as artists, the members have been casually discussing topics that are normally too hot and fishy to handle, and their collective work marks an attempt to smoke out the mixture of comprehension and miscomprehension involved in this dialogue.
Their newest creations including works co-produced in the studio of TWS Aoyama:Creator-in-Residence showcase the artists' mutual inspiration, while highlighting the refreshingly innovative outcome of the process from the production stage to the eventual exhibition, which even the artists could hardly predict.
Look forward to witnessing these exceptional Japanese artists' straightforward takes on art beyond the usual exhibition framework, as the works they present here announce the rise of a new art scene.

Tokyo Wonder Site is an art center dedicated to the generation and promotion of new art and culture from the heart of Tokyo. While TWS Hongo supports and nurtures young talent in all fields in programs related to the government-hosted "Tokyo Wonder Wall" exhibition of works chosen from among entries from the general public, TWS Shibuya is a hub in a global cultural network of affiliated cultural facilities in Japan and abroad, and at once a platform for both new talents and internationally active creators to exchange and showcase their works. In addition, TWS Aoyama:Creator-in-Residence opened in 2006 as a venue for creative individuals from all genres and nationalities to pursue their respective work in a shared process. Through various joint programs, the three venues will continue their broad array of artistic activities in order to provide creators with a stage for creative work.
