Please come and see, touch, and enter the artworks to take photos. By-Products Store (Yatsutaka Yazu Takeshi Yamada) A materials recycling project that collects and sells attractive waste materials from artists’ studios, calling them “by-products.” The “by-products” that emerge as a by-product of the creative process are objects that would otherwise be placed in a corner of the studio and eventually discarded. By shining a spotlight on these less-than-artistic objects that bear the sensibility of each artist, we hope to create an opportunity to reconsider the value and potential of things. POINT5: LUMINE meets ART AWARD held!
