INFORMATION
NAGNAGNAG 1st EXHIBITION [-New Art Guild-]
One of Shigeru Arai’s deepest wishes during his lifetime was to hold a solo event.
This event will take place in the gallery that Arai himself visited and helped design.
Over the course of three days, including the anniversary of his passing,
the world of NAGNAGNAG/Shigeru Arai will be showcased.
The exhibition will feature an archive display of his works, raffle sales of
collaborative pieces produced with MEDICOM TOY and GORO, and an
authentication service for NAGNAGNAG pieces.
