Ikejiri Institute of Design 309,

Tokyo, Japan 154-0001
Frantic Gallery cautiously avoids the art with links to fashionable trends or popular culture. Instead, the gallery invites young artists with unique visions and independent thinking. Currently, the gallery is situated in a reconstructed elementary school not far from Shibuya district, surrounded by numerous studios of artists and designers. While insisting on personal values of its artists, aesthetic qualities of their works and thoughtful attitude towards contemporary Japanese art, Frantic Gallery has a clear strategy for exhibition program with permanent and intensive foreign shows and struggles for international recognition of Frantic Artists.
