We are pleased to present "Works by Edition Works", a print exhibition, which is curated and cooperated by Edition Works.

Edition Works is one of the best and biggest printmaking workshop in Japan for their techniques and size of production. They deal with etching, lithograph, woodcut print, silk screen and digital print. Their activity includes not only artwork productions of artists, galleries and publishers but also their own original publishing, which keeps developing expression by print art. Edition Works also supports technically prominent artists from various categories such as Lee U-Fan, Ai Yamaguchi, Katsura Funakoshi and Takashi Murakami, and their collaborative approach to drawing out artists' ideas is highly regarded in and out of Japan.

In this exhibition, the print works by our two artists, Yuichi Higashionna and Ryudai Takano, who are from different categories, will be presented in collaboration with Edition Works. Print art evokes the essence of materials and it can be a record of the performance of the artist. In the virtual modern world which grows toward digitalization, the substance of print art is a sign of presence in itself. Therefore artists and viewers eagerly seek to establish this "substance" via printed artworks. This exhibition will present this very opportunity by viewing print art.
