Overview
Now in its 21st edition at Gallery & Bakery Tokyo 8min, ART POTLUCK, KYOBASHI is a special joint exhibition by KOSAKU KANECHIKA, Tomio Koyama Gallery, and Yutaka Kikutake Gallery, opening Saturday, September 12, 2026.
Growing out of last year's special program "Tokyo Gendai 58min," the exhibition now welcomes Yutaka Kikutake Gallery as a new participant, expanding it into a group show featuring three galleries. The renewed exhibition's title, "ART POTLUCK, KYOBASHI," takes its name from the English-speaking custom of a potluck, where each guest brings a dish to share. That single word captures the structure of the show: three galleries, each with its own eye and its own roster of artists, coming together to "bring" the next generation of talent from their own distinct perspectives.
The exhibition also overlaps with Tokyo Gendai 2026 (September 11 (Fri) to 13 (Sun), 2026) — a good opportunity to visit while the international art community gathers in the city.

Artists
Yutaka Aoki (KOSAKU KANECHIKA)
Born in Kumamoto Prefecture in 1985, Aoki graduated from the painting course of the Department of Fine Arts, Faculty of Art and Design, at Tokyo Zokei University in 2008, and completed the fine arts program of the university's graduate school in 2010. He is currently based in Tokyo.
His practice works to broaden the horizons of painting, exploring the relationship between the world and painting and the possibilities it holds. Across a range of approaches, Aoki's work has consistently centered on a gaze toward light — in particular, its three-dimensionality: the richness that emerges organically when light is completed by specific environmental elements such as the passage of time, the presence of the viewer, and the exhibition space.
Major solo exhibitions include "multiprime" (hiromiyoshii, Tokyo, 2011), "The Room Outside, the Garden Inside" (Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto, 2012), and "Mouvements" (Sprout Curation, Tokyo, 2014). Major group exhibitions include "Where Painting Resides" (Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, 2014), "It Started with Sculpture: Japanese Sculpture and Three-Dimensional Art from Modern to Contemporary" (Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto, 2019), and "A Personal View of Japanese Contemporary Art: The Ryutaro Takahashi Collection" (Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, 2024). His work is held in the public collections of the Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto, and the Ryutaro Takahashi Collection.
Satoko Nachi (Tomio Koyama Gallery)
Born in Tokyo in 1982, Satoko Nachi graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Nagoya University of Arts in 2005 and is currently based in Kumamoto. She has held five solo exhibitions at Tomio Koyama Gallery, and in 2016 took part in an artist-in-residence project in Kurashiki through the Ohara Museum of Art's ARCO (Artist in Residence in Kurashiki, Ohara) program.
Major solo exhibitions include "Echoes of Home" (Kumamoto Alternative Art Forum, Kumamoto, 2026) and "Seikatsu" (Life) (Tomio Koyama Gallery Tennoz, Tokyo, 2025). Major group exhibitions include "Mindfulness! The Definitive Takahashi Collection Exhibition 2014" (Nagoya City Art Museum, 2013), "JAPANCONGO" (Le Magasin, National Center for Contemporary Art, Grenoble, France, 2011), "Children's Art in Mie" (Mie Prefectural Art Museum, 2011), "Passion Fruits Picked from the Olbricht Collection" (me Collectors Room Berlin, Berlin, 2010), and "Flowers and Landscapes: Monet and Contemporary Japanese Artists" (Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto, 2009).
Yang Bo (Yutaka Kikutake Gallery)
Born in Hubei Province, China in 1991, Yang Bo moved to Miyagi Prefecture in 2001 and is now based in Tokyo. His work is themed mainly around the sense of distance involved in the reception of pop culture, as represented by film and music. Recent solo exhibitions include "Take me to the river" (Yutaka Kikutake Gallery, Tokyo, 2026) and "Zamio versus Souvenir-man and the Defending Champion, part 124" (Ginza Tsutaya Books, Tokyo, 2024). His work is held in the collection of the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art.
Gallery & Bakery Tokyo 8min
Gallery & Bakery Tokyo 8min is a space combining an art gallery with a bakery and café, produced jointly by The Chain Museum, which operates ArtSticker, and Fonz, which operates THE CITY BAKERY. It aims to be an art space open to the city, located in the heart of Tokyo, where urban development is increasingly focused on art and culture as well.
The space occupies the first floor of TODA BUILDING, which opened on November 2, 2024, where TODA CORPORATION runs a variety of art programs under the concept "ART POWER KYOBASHI." The interior was designed by DDAA, the practice led by architect Daisuke Motogi.
In a lavish space reminiscent of a museum designed purely for art, the spotlight falls on artists whose future holds great promise. A bakery and café have also been installed within the art space, offering a place to savor the afterglow of viewing art or talk over impressions with others. It is a special space designed for more than just viewing artworks — one that invites conversation while enjoying a meal.
