WHAT CAFE to Hold Exhibition Fusing Art and Apparel from November 10th
Under the cooperation of JILL STUART, collaboration items by yutaokuda and Yurina Okada and their original artworks will be on sale
WHAT CAFE, an art gallery cafe operated by Warehouse TERRADA, will have an exhibition under the cooperation of JILL STUART, an apparel brand owned by TSI HOLDINGS CO., LTD. from November 10th (Fri) to November 26th (Sun), 2023.
WHAT CAFE has embraced the “ART IS …” concept, intending to make art more accessible and enrich people’s lives. It provides a space for everyone who visits WHAT CAFE to reconsider and rediscover what art is and to explore their own “likes,” all while showcasing and selling artworks by various artists.
This exhibition will feature artworks by 19 artists who have reinterpreted JILL STUART’s seasonal concept of “Bloom in the Mirror.” Among them are yutaokuda and Yurina Okada, who collaborated with the brand to create original art items. The newly created works for these collaboration items will be showcased alongside them. The venue fuses art and apparel and will offer visitors an innovative new environment and experience.
A free audio guide narrated by an art navigator, Avi, will be available during the exhibition, and her fashion styling for museum visits will be on display.
Through this collaboration, WHAT CAFE will reassess one’s perspective of the concept of “ART IS” for various individuals and companies, creating a space where they can make discoveries.
