About P&E
This annual group exhibition started in 2005 to open up our gallery space to young artists whose potential have yet to be discovered by offering them opportunities to present their works directly to people in the contemporary art industory today. We advertised for artists by sending a simple message of "Why don't you make an appeal to ACG?" In this year, over 140 young artists answered our ad. We evaluated their portfolios and narrowed down to two small groups of twelve 2D artists and thirteen 3D artists. Each group exhibits their work for 10 days. Visitors can also view the artists' portfolios at our gallery while the show is on.

ACG eyes 2: Sabro Ota with young artists - everyday art -
Tuesday, 13 Janurary - Saturday, 14 Februrary, 2009
Organized by ARTCOURT Galley
Sponsored by Yagi Art Management, Inc.
Supported by Mitsubihi Estate Co.,Ltd., Mitsubishi Materials Co.,Ltd., OAP Management Co.,Ltd.
Saburo Ota, Shuko Terada, Yuki Hayashi and Kuri Yorigami - these 4 artists create their works in intimate relationships with their everyday lives. They carefully stare small and ephemeral actions and phenomena which compose a daily life, pick up those elements as their interests and crystallize them in unique and subtle ways.
Those crystals of everyday life produced by them remind viewers of "living one's life" and may question them on its meaning.
