BUG, operated by Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd., will host Overland_Spillover#1, an exhibition curated by independent curator Arata HASEGAWA, opening (Wed.) May 8, 2024.
Since September 2023, BUG’s key message has been “BUG the world ,” and our central commitment has been to provide space and opportunities for artists and art workers* to challenge themselves to the best of their ability.
When developing the concept for BUG, we spent over two years in discussion about the environment surrounding artists and art workers, together with Hasegawa, who has hands-on experience in the art scene. The results of these conversations are reflected in BUG’s activity directives.
Hasegawa curates this exhibition, in which Hasegawa, Shuhei Hayashi, MES, and FAQ? will present new works inspired by spillover, an effect where radio waves reach beyond their intended range. Planning for this exhibit, which is BUG’s fifth, began in January 2023. In collaboration with Hasegawa, the artists will explore the possibilities that BUG offers as a space generating “opportunities for challenges.”
