KYUN-CHOME

An artist unit consisting of two, Honma Eri (born in 1987 in Yokohama) and Nabuchi (born in 1984 in Mito), having started its career since 2011. They met at the Sokei Academy of Fine Art & Design located in Ikebukuro, Tokyo in 2009. Their style of creation is a hands-on approach, challenging to focus on problematic issues in a contemporary society which are reported in the media, yet intentionally avoided to find the reality of them. Many of their recent works have been created in the course of dialogue with the concerned party of the issues. In 2014, they were awarded for the grand Prize in the 17th Taro Okamoto Contemporary Art Award. They held their solo exhibitions at the Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum in Tokyo and in Kunstquartier Bethanien in Berlin in 2015, and in 2016 held their solo exhibition titled “Say hello in the dark” at the Komagome Soko. In 2017 they created their works while staying in Ishinomaki and exhibited them in the Ishimaki Reborn Art Festival 2017.
