Fushigi Hakubutsukan [Wonder Museum] by SUMI TAKAMASA

不思議博物館 Fushigi Hakubutsukan means WONDER MUSEUM. SUMI TAKAMASA, contemporary artist living in Fukuoka is a director of this private museum. This new space exists in his own garden besides his house and factory. It takes approx. 1 hour by car from central of Fukuoka city.

In short, the museum's collection works are his past ones. Open only weekend (every Sunday and Japanese national holiday as a rule), you need check the open schedule by his website (sorry, only in Japanese. If you need help, please send me the message.)

Sumi's works are very unique, confusing real animal and articficial items. It can be said a kind of OTAKU artworks. You can also see his maniac book collection here.

for Visitors: AB88 and Fukuoka Art Information

I am very sorry the Art Base 88 is now underconstructing and will open maybe June.

The most unique art space in Fukuoka is Fukuoka Asian Art Museum in Hakata Riverain.
It is very easy to access to use city-subway, the building is connected with Nakasu-Kawabata Station.
http://faam.city.fukuoka.lg.jp/eng/home.html

There is an art gallery in same building (Hakata Riverain), named "Gallery Artlier".
"Museum City Project" has been directing this space with "Fukuoka City Foundation for Arts and Culture Promotion (FFAC)".
The Artlier is a kind of art information space, you will be able to get Fukuoka's local art information there.
There are some guide pamphlets ex. "Fukuoka Art Map 2007" (Jap/Eng) .

I hope you enjoy my city and art spaces here.

Fukuoka Prefectural Museum and Fukuoka Art Fair Simulation Alpha Committee will hold a new collaborative project, Fukuoka Art Fair Simulation Alpha 2007 (fafa2007). Fukuoka has been recognized for its active grassroots art scene supported by local independent/alternative art space and art NPOs.

We would like [fafa2007] to be an opportunity for creating network among art spaces and discussing the possibility of developing a new local economic system for art.
Hopefully, [fafa2007] could be the first step toward more sophisticated form of art fair in near future.
