About アートかビーフンか白厨 (Paichu)
Produced by The Chain Museum — the company behind ArtSticker — Paichu is an art gallery where visitors can also enjoy Taiwanese cuisine. Located in a mixed-use building slated for redevelopment, the venue hosts new art projects every month. True to its name "アートかビーフンか (Art or Rice Vermicelli)," guests are welcome to view artworks in the gallery space or enjoy a meal in the dining area — or even both at once, drink in hand. The name "白厨 (Paichu)" is a coined term combining respect and admiration for the white cube gallery format with the warmth and comfort of a kitchen.
