IN FOCUS is pleased to present “IN FOCUS in Exhibition,” the first group exhibition with our staff since the company’s establishment in 2012. The theme of the exhibition is the “_ _____” in the IN FOCUS logo. This shape not only serves as a dividing line, but also provides a trigger for recognition, resembles an “i” when rotated, and can be read as a cipher. The “_ _____” that has supported IN FOCUS since the beginning will be presented through the skills and knowledge our staff have cultivated in their respective fields. The venue is our creative studio “CONTRAST,” located on the first floor and basement of IN FOCUS. The IN FOCUS participants will attempt to propose new perspectives in this space, which was set up for exchanges with various artists based on the concept of “reconstruction.” During the exhibition, original goods produced by the members of this exhibition will be on sale on the first floor of CONTRAST. The reception party will be held on December 13th, Friday from 18:00 to 21:00. We hope you’ll join us for the show! ー IN FOCUS in Exhibition Reception Party : 12/13 (Fri) 18:00 – 21:00 Date : 12/14 (Sat)– 12/18 (Wed) Time : 12:00 – 19:00 Entrance : Free Venue : CONTRAST Supported by : AB InBev Japan LLC

          About CONTRAST
          In 2022, CONTRAST opened as a creative space in Yoyogi-Hachiman, Tokyo. The interior, based on a 45-year-old structure, consists of three floors under the concept of "reconstruction," and is managed by IN FOCUS, a digital branding studio that operates under the theme of "We propose new perspectives through a collective pursuit of digital excellence.". The space not only serves as its own creative space but also aims to be widely open to the public, providing a space for continuous and experimental reconstruction by its users, breaking free from limitations. Focusing on various forms of expression and encountering the creators who produce them, we will come to understand the importance of "CONTRAST = comparison" in our endeavors.
