ART in PARK HOTEL TOKYO 2017

Prior to the fair period we will hold a special exhibition that introduces artworks of the fair’s participating artists at the Art Lounge on the 25th floor of Park Hotel Tokyo. The line-up of this special exhibition will cover a wide range of artists of different generations, pioneer artists of the Japanese contemporary art such as Ushio Shinohara and Takesada Matsutani, as well as up and coming younger artists. Guests will have a chance to observe some aspects of the trends of Japanese contemporary art.

AIH Artist Room Project, of which the Park Hotel Tokyo initiated in 2012 has finally come to its completion. We kindly invite people who have been involved in the project to talk about how they’ve branded the hotel through its incorporating art. The project’s participating artists will share their behind-the-scenes making episodes. There will also be tours of the Artist Rooms, which are normally not open to the public, so please do not miss out on the chance of this opportunity.

There will be a special lounge jointly set up by the renown blended Scotch whiskey brand, Ballantine’s, and the established Italian espresso brand, illy, on the 26th floor of the hotel during the fair period. We will hold a tasting of the Ballantine’s 21 and 17 Years Old distilled brew, referred to as “The Scotch” by Ballantine’s, with a special price. There will also be a display of the illy art collection cups collaboratively designed by artists at the lounge. Please make yourself at home at this wonderful lounge filled with the mellow aroma of whiskey and coffee.
