Is a co-curatorial project led by Italian based artist, Andrea Istvan Franzini – Working under the Collective title Manos.Manos.Manos which originally expanded the concept and strategy of Australian / Tokyo based artist Jesse Hogan’s collective art project “Platform for Shared Praxis”.
The artists first met in Milano at the Prada Foundation Art Museum when he was working there in 2020. They exchanged contacts and began discussing collaborations between Sydney – Milan – Tokyo. ANDREA was invited to exhibit in the Sydney Edition ‘Cloud & Toe’ KNULP Gallery in 2023. Since then then they have co-curated the Milano exhibition ‘ESCAPE STRATEGIES’ Via Watt_Projects 2024 / The Tokyo exhibition ‘DOUBLE FICTIONS’ Same_Gallery 2024 + Plus + (Recently they have established connections) Establishing connections between emerging Japanese artists Aoi Michimae & curator Ryota Kawaguchi (cacco_offical) – Having recently co-curated FOR their show ‘PORTS, AIR, FOR, MUSIC’ The 5th Floor, Tokyo 2024.

The exhibition work Platform for Shared Praxis contains important archival fragments, parts of completed projects, and small works, or ‘Specific Objects’ by Japanese and Australian artists. The constructed Platform installation unifies all these disparate ‘artifacts of practice’ into a single whole multi-medium installation work. Conveying notions of curation, collaboration, and cultural exchange, et al. Platform for Shared Praxis presents an overview of interconnected practices (Praxis).

{} is a curatorial collective since 2023 in Tokyo. {}, which means empty set in mathematics, is one solution to curation from their traditional Japanese perspective. At the same time, it is a kind of symbol for redefining something from the history of art.

Rintaro Unno was born in Tokyo in 1992 and is a contemporary artist. His work spans a wide range of themes, including new religions, video games, films, and unmanned aerial vehicles, and he primarily works in video and installation. He also creates paintings, sculptures, and text-based works. In recent years, his practice has focused on exploring the relationship between media and humanity, society and the individual, asking how one might depict what a person believes in or the world as they see it.
His major exhibitions include solo shows at EUKARYOTE and Ginza Tsutaya Books, as well as participation in Phantasmapolis – 2021 Asian Art Biennial (National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts) as a duo with artist Dan Isomura. As a core member of the collective KATAKISHI, he has also held solo exhibitions at the Echigo-Tsumari Satoyama Museum of Contemporary Art and produced permanent public artworks in Taoyuan City, Taiwan. Since 2023, he has served as exhibition director for Matsudo International Science Art Festival.

David Horvitz was born in Los Angeles where he currently lives and works. He studied at the University of California and at the Waseda University in Tokyo. He obtained a MFA from Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, Bard College, in 2010.
Witty and poetic, the work of David Horvitz meddles with systems of language, time and networks.
Eschewing categorization, his expansive, nomadic body of work traverses the forms of photographs, artist books, performances, the Internet, mail art, sound, rubber stamps, gastronomy, and natural environments. His work examines questions of distance between places, people and time in order to test the possibilities of appropriating, undermining or even erasing these distances. Using image, text and objects, his works circulate and operate independently of himself, penetrating ever more effectively the intimate sphere. When encountering his works– in the postal system, libraries, or the airport lost-and-found services– our attention to the infinitesimal, inherent loopholes and alternative logics, and the imaginary comes to the fore. Like lullabies impressed upon our minds, Horvitz deploys art as both objects of contemplation and as viral or systemic tools to affect change on a personal scale. Horvitz makes fictions that insert themselves surreptitiously into the real.

Born in 2002, from Kami-Itabashi. I own curatorial collective {} (cacco) . I study about relationship between mental manipulation and conceptual art. Main exhibition, “{}” (decameron, Tokyo, 2023), “Escape Strategies” (via Watt projects, 2024), “PORTS, AIR, FOR, MUSIC” (The 5th Floor, Tokyo, 2024)

Marco Strappato (Porto San Giorgio, 1982) is an Italian artist based in Milan. He holds an MA from the Royal College of Art London, a BFA from Brera Academy Milan and a BFA from the Fine Arts Academy of Florence. His work is engaged with a urgent reassessment of the contemporary understanding of image production and image distribution, through a multidisciplinary practice which involves collage, video, photography and installation. Mostly Strappato uses landscape images e.g. desktop wallpaper (strictly connected with the idea of desire and escapism). Those images may be used to understand the aesthetic experience in contemporaneity, amid the rhetorical discourses about the authentic and inauthentic, the exotic and familiar, the artificial and the natural.

The author as receiver.
Robin Waart uses repetition and collecting as a framework for projects with books, movie stills, photography, polaroids, and book pages. His works raise questions about (dis)continuity, what it means to look at, or do, the same thing over and over. Focusing on the relationship between receiver and author, his projects address the reasons why, and for whom we make what we make.

Jesse Hogan is a Painter / Writer and Contemporary Artist originating from Sydney Australia.
His practice navigates the legacy and cultural effects of painting on contemporary and conceptual art theory & practice. Concerned with phenomenology, and post-structuralism, Hogan’s works investigate how these concepts are represented in paintings, text, video, sculpture & installation.

Ayano’s work focuses on everyday images and objects, revising and reinterpreting them, often referencing the role of photography in contemporary art history. It does this by analysing and deconstructing social and everyday phenomena. In doing so, it takes into account linguistic specificities, playing with the meanings and etymologies of particular words and phrases, with the aim of questioning the expression of cultural practices, traditions and beliefs.
