The art fair "NEW PLATFORM – Alternative JAPAN –" will take place at Art Center NEW in Yokohama from September 11th to 13th. This annual platform project brings together 23 alternative spaces from 13 prefectures across Japan, including Hokkaido and Okinawa, to share practical knowledge and operational insights.
Following last year's "Alternative ASIA" edition, this year focuses on diverse regional practices within Japan. By having non-profit alternative spaces gather at an art fair—a venue typically centered on sales—the event aims to foster new networks and explore ideas for sustainable management.
The event will feature cross-talk sessions between exhibitors, a talk event with guest Takuya Tsutsumi, and various performances. Additionally, an exhibition showcasing the results of two international artists from the "NEW AIR 2026" residency program will be held concurrently.
