Special Exhibition Venue (Hilton Kyoto, 1st floor entrance lobby) Tokyo Tatemono has focused on the power of art to refine space and has engaged in a variety of art-related initiatives, including operating the art gallery “BAG-Brillia Art Gallery-“*, hosting the “Brillia Art Award,” an open exhibition aimed at meeting and supporting artists, and hosting the contemporary art exhibition “Art in Tokyo YNK,” which focuses on works by young artists. This newly launched project aims to maximize the connection between artists and society and further promote artists’ success through unprecedented collaboration with a diverse range of players rooted in the city, including corporations, brands, businesspeople, educational and research institutions, and international conferences. It also aims to discover new value in art in urban spaces and incorporate it into the urban development being undertaken by Tokyo Tatemono. In this first collaboration with Hilton Kyoto, works by up-and-coming artist Yoshiki Minami, who creates paintings using algorithms, will adorn the iconic five-story atrium lobby space, designed by Yukio Hashimoto Design Studio, Ltd., with the theme of “ORIMONO (woven fabric).” This event aims to enhance the experiential value of Kyoto as a city by providing a unique stay experience not only for hotel guests but also for visitors with a broad interest in art and culture. During the event, “artist talks” will be held by Yoshiki Minami and other guests, and the artworks on display will be available for purchase. ● Event overview Exhibition name Minamiyiki special exhibition -Algorithms and Minds- Date and Time November 13th (Thursday) – November 16th (Sunday), 2025, 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM *Until 5:00 PM on the final day Venue Hilton Kyoto, 1st floor entrance lobby, 416 Shimomaruya-cho, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture Admission fee Free Sponsored Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd.
