Art Platform Japan is an initiative and a website that aims to further the research and networking in the field of contemporary Japanese art.

We’ve been designing the translation collection using a multiplex bilingual typographic system that we created from scratch.

The collection is an online library of English translations of key, selected writings on contemporary art in Japan that exponentially expands the availability of critical texts on the subject.

Art Platform Japan is a project initiated and organized by Bunka-cho, the Agency for Cultural Affairs of the Japanese Government.

The collection is full of translations that expand various discourses around Japanese art, notably on the effects of gender, orientation, class, and collectives.

Art Platform Japan is five-year-long project that will culminate in 2023.
