SIDE CORE is a unit started in 2012. The group is composed of members TASKASU Sakie, MATSUSHITA Tohru, and NISHIHIRO Taishi, who have been behind various art projects on street culture. Their projects are action-based and designed to “make some noise,” based on research of different cities and regions. In addition to holding exhibitions at galleries and museums, they have also extended their range of activity outside the white cube to outdoor spaces that include mural projects and “NIGHT Walk” that explores the city. All of their projects aim to shift perspectives and thought surrounding public spaces and expand the realm of creative expression and action. Recent exhibitions include Great Kyoto Arts Festival 2020 in Kyotango (2020, Kyoto), Living Tokyo (2020, Watarium, Tokyo), and Out of Blueprints by Serpentine Galleries (2020, NOWNESS, UK) etc.

Anonymous artist collective working with SIDE CORE since 2015. This exhibition features artists, curators, video artists, and more. They create playful artworks that intervene—from the perspective of street culture—in urban spaces and the rules that exist there.
