Last year's exhibition, "UNTITLED RECORDS" by Keizo Kitajima at BankART Station, will return by popular demand. As Kitajima stated in his previous exhibition, "The city that is Yokohama, the station that is Shintakashima, and the history and presence of this space that is BankART Station, literally the critical leading role that should be acknowledged as an obvious matter of fact. By situating the "UNTITLED RECORDS" series in an inorganic space, the stains on the walls and floors, the whitewash, the discoloration, the cracks, the exposed pipes, the studs, the cable racks, and the various details take on a slightly different appearance. We invite you to revisit that rare experience. We hope for those who missed last year's exhibition to take advantage of this opportunity and for those who saw it last time to revisit and rediscover the work. In addition to the exhibition, 47 prints from the "PORTRAITS" series will be displayed on a 50-meter wall. We cordially invite you to this special exhibition.
