About Osaka Directory Supported by RICHARD MILLE
Organized jointly by Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka and The Kansai Osaka 21st Century Association, the Osaka Directory series of exhibitions introduces upcoming Kansai-connected artists in a solo exhibition format. This annual series presents artists who create new art symbolizing the coming age of the future. The term "directory" is used in IT (Information Technology) to refer to folders and similar structures that are used to organize files. Through this series, Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka stores ‘files’ on promising young artists in the Kansai area in a ‘directory’ from which it can present their work to a wide audience throughout the world and support the launch of their careers on the global scene.
