In a feature by Tokyo Art Beat, art writer akemi shares her method for discovering exhibitions. She gathers information from press releases, official websites, and social media, but prioritizes the "curatorial concept," focusing on why a museum is presenting a theme at a particular time. She visits as many exhibitions as possible regardless of preference, evaluating works, their arrangement, and the venue's architecture. Her favorite spots are the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum for its Art Deco harmony and the Nezu Museum for its serene Japanese aesthetics. She recently enjoyed the Ettore Sottsass, Karl Walser, and Kiyoshi Hasegawa exhibitions and looks forward to the 2026 Louvre Museum Renaissance exhibition and others. She uses Tokyo Art Beat's tag search frequently and suggests adding a tag for photography permissions.
