We three artists, Masato Ashitani, Arimichi Iwasawa and Tatsuo Osawa, met each other to open an exhibition 'Art Up!' in 1997. Since then, it's been 17 years. We have held various group exhibition, especially the group exhibition 'uneasiness', starting at Shinanobashi Gallery in 2001, has been opened in Hungary and Korea as well as Osaka. So far, we have affected on each other's works, and developed unique system at the same time.
12th exhibition of 'uneasiness' will be a chance to ask some questions: What we are seeing now? What is a role of artist in the 21st century? and Where Japanese contemporary art is headlong for?
