Standing Pine

Standing Pine was founded in 2009 in Nagoya, Japan. It mainly supports emerging Japanese artists and focuses on promoting an emerging value of various media including sound, video, photography, installation and so on. It represents works which themselves contain an aesthetic beauty and an intrinsic attention to fine detail and technique that is seen as typically Japanese, yet with a strong concept and significant messages to the modern society, hidden and embedded behind it. In addition, it also aims to build a bridge for cultural exchange by introducing international artists to the art scene in Asia. Since the gallery opened, through curated exhibitions, international art fairs and projects, it has been devoted to promoting talented artists to the wide audience in the global art scene.
