Japanese artist Ken Kagami is known for his brashly humorous and playfully erotic works that involve stuffed toys, exposed genitals and bodily functions. Often merging Pop figures with bizarre, appropriative add-ons or colorful appendages, Kagami challenges contemporary Pop art sensibilities. The artist is also known for his collaborations with the band Deerhoof and since 2010, Kagami has operated the Strange Store, a retail space in Tokyo that sells clothing, objects, and printed ephemera.

Following deceased Dutch artist Daan van Golden’s quotation “Art is not a competition”, the gallery strives to help develop a cooperative, mutually supportive contemporary art world. Based in Tokyo, we represent 31 artists from Japan and abroad; each of whom maintains an art practice rooted in the literal; each of whom does not shy away from humor. In 2019, together with colleagues LambdaLambdaLambda (Prishtina), Lulu (Mexico City) and Park View / Paul Soto (Los Angeles/New York), we inaugurated La Maison De Rendez-Vous, a shared exhibition space in the city of Brussels, Belgium; in 2023, La Maison was presented, at Art Basel, with the Federation of European Art Galleries Association Innovation and Creativity Award. Jeffrey Rosen presently serves as co-president of the board of the New York based non-profit organization, NADA (New Art Dealers Alliance) as well as sitting on the board of the non-profit organization, Contemporary Art Group (Contemporary Art Daily, Contemporary Art Library and Quarterly); Misako Rosen serves as a director of CADAN (Contemporary Art Dealers Association Nippon) based in Tokyo. In 2024, together with colleagues LambdaLambdaLambda, the gallery will inaugurate a second commercial gallery space in Paris, France.
