This exhibition will mark the inaugural show at biscuit gallery’s new space in “nudge field,” located on the 8th floor of the Matsui Building in Shinjuku, following the gallery’s previous operations in Shoto, Shibuya.

Akiko Horio and Sawako Nasu “Fumetsu”

In this exhibition, Sawako Nasu, the artist whom biscuit gallery has been working with on an ongoing basis, will present her first exhibition together with Akiko Horio, a former member of the Gutai Art Association, who has consistently pursued her own unique minimalist aesthetic.

biscuit gallery, a contemporary art commercial gallery located on Shoto Bunkamura Street in Shibuya, Tokyo, will hold its final exhibition at its current location titled biscuit gallery farewell exhibition in Shibuya “doors”, starting Saturday, May 10, 2025.

This exhibition marks the last show to be held at the biscuit building in Shoto, Shibuya.

「doors」- biscuit gallery farewell exhibition in Shibuya 

Opened in March 2021, biscuit gallery (located in Shoto, Shibuya) will hold its final exhibition at the biscuit building.

Titled “doors”, this exhibition brings together a selection of artists who have previously exhibited at biscuit gallery, with a focus on those who have left a particularly strong impression. Many artists have been invited to participate in this special final show.

biscuit gallery will be relocating from its founding location in Shibuya to a new space in Shinjuku.

Over the past four years, the door on the first floor of biscuit gallery has been opened and closed countless times—by artists, visitors, staff, and everyone who has engaged with the gallery. This glass door at the entrance has served not only as a physical threshold, but also as a symbolic passage connecting artworks and viewers, artists and collectors, and new expressions with new possibilities.

Embracing the themes of encounters and farewells, as well as transitions into new worlds—all symbolized by this “door”—we have titled our final group exhibition at the Shibuya space doors.

This exhibition marks both an end and a new beginning: a closing chapter in Shibuya and the opening of another in Shinjuku. We warmly invite you to visit our final show in Shibuya, and we look forward to welcoming you again on the other side of the new door.

Director, biscuit gallery

Special Feature

In addition to showcasing new works by participating artists, this exhibition includes a special presentation of artworks owned by collectors who previously acquired them from biscuit gallery. By exhibiting these collected works once again in a new gallery setting, we hope to offer viewers a fresh and unique experience, distinct from the time of their original acquisition.

Please note that due to space limitations, the exhibited collector-owned works were selected by the gallery from among the submissions. These works are not available for sale.
