Contrast is pleased to present “tomo ni,” the first Tokyo exhibition by the German art and music collective giegling. Over the past 15 years, giegling has become known for its beloved music label, its festival curation, and distinct light and stage design that has travelled around the world. After self-organized exhibitions in LA, New York, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Beijing, the group is doing a month-long residency in Tokyo this November. For this residency, they developed an exhibition showcasing their unique aesthetics and their playful take on art. The exhibition reflects the group's restless meandering between the lifestyle aesthetics of club culture and all its surroundings, as well as their background of studying together at Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany. In their interdisciplinary approach, the group is mixing all media into a refreshing perspective of life, love, and joy. That kind of joy that can bring us together and the endless dream that it could last forever. The exhibition features work from the wider circle around the collective, including rising artists Lotte Wieringa, Otto Hernandez and Moritz Löwe. ー Participating Artists Yamur Can Otto Oscar Hernandez Franzi Kohlhoff & Anna Teuber Lena Kocutar Karl Gottfried König Moritz Löwe Rachel Reyes Karl Alexander Schickhardt Ralph Schuster Rafael Vogel Holger Wilkens Lotte Wieringa ー Reception: 11/18 (Wed) 18:00 - 21:00 Date: 11/19 (Thr) - 11/27 (Fri) Tue - Fri: 14:00 - 19:00 Sat - Sun: 12:00 - 19:00 Closed: Monday Entrance: Free Venue: CONTRAST ー Music Events Opening Party Date: 11/14 (Sat) Venue: PBOX STND Concert Date: 11/20 (Fri) Venue: sonorium Closing Party Date: 11/27 (Fri) Venue: VENT

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.
