SHIGETO KOYAMA CCMS
experiment OBAKE
at NowHere NYC
nowhere-nyc.com
If we were in New York City, we would be checking out the SHIGETO KOYAMA CCMS experiment OBAKE. The inaugural solo exhibition will debut on November 9th (and runs until November 22nd) at NowHere NYC.
All this is courtesy of Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. (SMEJ), as part of their new “Art × Entertainment” project, which aims to expand the appreciation of art in previously unexplored directions, honor unique talents, and create a platform for the artistic essences of key contemporary artists.
Shigeto Koyama (HEROMAN, Rebuild of Evangelion, Kill la Kill, Gundam Reconguista in G, and Promare) will present a range of work from his critically acclaimed animated projects and expound on the creative processes at their genesis, though to him this is, “Not an ‘exhibition’ but an ‘experiment.’”
Mr. Koyama will also host a pair of talks at the gallery. The first will be on Saturday, November 11, from 2pm to 4pm EST and will be free. The second will be ticketed, and held on Monday, November 20, from 6pm to 8pm EST. More information can be found here.
If you were wondering what CCMS is, it is a group of creators formed CCMS in 2010. The members are Shigeto Koyama, Tsuyoshi Kusano and Ai Nonaka. The three, known as professionals in animation and design, began producing original works through a series of zines called “dojinshi,” which are derivative works of their original creations.
