About ANRI’s new gallery, “Edit Room” In this age where AI can instantly propose any “solution,” what people want is not solutions, but ways of posing questions. Art and all forms of expression, when taken to their core, are acts of asking questions. Now, more than ever, expectations are pinned on this potential power. We believe we need a place to create the expressions of our time, works that have their own unique stories and easily transcend existing genres. This gallery space was founded with this idea in mind. The name Edit Room was chosen with the intention of creating a space where the times are edited in the present tense. History of establishment The job of venture capital is to look at current society, identify what is lacking, and identify and support businesses and entrepreneurs that will build a bridge to the future. Limiting this cycle to the business world alone will not create dynamism. In the fields of art and expression, too, we want to continue this cycle of exploring current society and the future, sparking discussion and moving the times forward. Doing so will surely broaden what entrepreneurs can sense. This is why venture capital firms have gallery spaces. Edit Room constantly disseminates provocative and stimulating expressions of the times and serves as a forum for endless discussion, accelerating the emergence of an overwhelming future. Overview Name: Edit Room Address: 1-1-3 Nishiazabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 1F Opening Date: September 24, 2025 Opening Hours: Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays during exhibition periods, 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM Website:
Managed and organized by: ANRI Co., Ltd. Activity schedule 1st Exhibition Masahide Matsuda Solo Exhibition “?” Event Period: September 24th – November 1st, 2025 Opening Reception: Wednesday, October 15th, 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM The opening will be an installation by contemporary artist Masahide Matsuda. An art vending machine installation titled “?” will be set up inside the venue. Matsuda has previously created works using vending machines as a motif, and this time he will be presenting an experience of “secrets, disclosure, and purification.” Visitors write down their secrets and hang the acrylic panels on PVC pipes, which accumulate anonymous voices and change the appearance of the space every day. Masahide Matsuda profile Shoei Matsuda Contemporary artist. He effortlessly interprets the relationship between technology and life, pioneering new areas of expression in a post-digital society through poetic and conceptual interventions. In recent years, he has been encouraging people to reconstruct their perceptions and thoughts through a method known as “technoimagination,” which disrupts collective language and symbols that have become established in contemporary culture and shakes up existing perceptions and interpretations.

From Project Owner, Shunsuke Nakaji I see galleries as a form of infrastructure for generating questions. I’m not particularly knowledgeable about art, but I always felt like visiting a museum or gallery gave me questions. These include reality, sound, texture, smell, temperature, shared silence, chance conversations, and the expansion and contraction of time—things that cannot be conveyed through words and images on the internet. I hope to be able to create these things with “Edit Room.” So, while I wrote “gallery” this time, strictly speaking, it’s also a rental gallery and can simply be considered a space for expression. I don’t want to just exhibit art and artwork. There are still many uses open beyond exhibitions, including editorial meetings, lectures, dialogues, research posters, and prototype experiments. In order to generate these questions, I want to try anything that expresses them. I don’t know the direction yet, and I haven’t decided yet. That’s why we named it “Edit Room.” Literally, it means an editing space, but we wanted to express the possibility of constant change and the fact that it’s in the process of being edited. We hope that people who come here will take something away and that it will give rise to questions, and that we will weave these questions together with those people. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do together. Contact
