To be honest, we still can’t predict what the exhibition will be like. But that’s what makes it fun. We hope you’ll come to the venue and experience that moment with us. CASUAL Project / Tokyo Edition CASUAL VOL.4: Tokyo is a curatorial project showcasing Tokyo-based artists from a variety of fields. This primarily photographic project explores the creative process of 49 artists by documenting them in their studios. It explores the lifestyles, thoughts, inspirations, and unique perspectives of Tokyo’s creative community. Featuring a wide range of artists, including painters, photographers, designers, illustrators, and sculptors, the project catalogs up-and-coming and established talents, providing an intimate look into the minds of artists rooted in Tokyo. This series is a passion for Mike, director of CASUAL Magazine, and his life’s work. It has been produced in London, São Paulo, and Barcelona. By documenting creativity around the world, he seeks to discover the elements that define each community while also finding the common ground that connects us. This project began in 2017, when he happened to visit Sydney, Australia, and documented local artists. Their work strongly reflects local elements such as culture, climate, and community, and he noticed a surprising commonality. This discovery prompted Mike to delve deeper into the question of how locality influences artists’ creative work. Now, the project is in its fourth edition, aiming for further expansion. Mike Cheney Mike is a British film director and photographer currently based in Barcelona. After being arrested for graffiti as a teenager, Mike was forced to find a new creative outlet and instead turned to photographing graffiti. It was a strange turn of events, but the experience paid off, allowing him to turn his passion for documenting art into a career. Curiosity has always driven Mike. As a creative person, he has always had a strong desire to experiment with all media. Entering people’s studios and documenting their diverse creative processes and talents through his camera was deeply inspiring for Mike and marked the beginning of a project he now calls “CASUAL.” As Mike’s largest project to date, “CASUAL” is both a personal expression and a tribute to the global artistic community. As a traveler who feels most “self” when far away, he appreciates this common ground and familiarity. Barcelona, São Paulo, London, Tokyo—wherever he is, this community is a source of inspiration, curiosity, and kindness.
