📍Location: Art Basel Miami Beach 2018

Sector: NOVA

Presented by: Nanzuka

NANZUKA was founded by Shinji Nanzuka in 2005 in Tokyo

The gallery readily collaborates with other industries, including fashion, music, and design, to expand the existing “art” context and break though the parameter of “fine art”.

How do you upcycle?

Art Basel and skateboarding might not have much in common. But in Miami Beach, these seemingly distant worlds will meet, thanks to self-taught Japanese artist Haroshi. Haroshi uses discarded skateboards to produce sculptures that address materialism and spirituality, but also pay homage to a passion shared by millions. His pieces will be exhibited by Tokyo gallery Nanzuka, one of the 29 participants in this year’s Nova sector, which focuses on recent work by a fascinating array of artists. text via artbasel.com
