概述
SCAI The Bathhouse is a contemporary art gallery located in Yanaka, with a town ambience reminiscent of Old Tokyo. In walking proximity to Ueno, an area dense with museums and art schools, the gallery was converted from a venerable 200-year-old public bathhouse. Take a step inside, and you will find a white cube with soft natural light descending from the high ceiling.
Since its establishment in 1993, SCAI The Bathhouse has realized numerous exhibitions and commission projects. It has fostered the careers of leading artists, who has contributed to the development of post-war art in Japan as a pivotal figure of Mono-ha School, to Toshikatsu Endo and Mariko Mori, who have garnered international attention for their large-scale sculptures with compelling narratives. The gallery is also establishing the global presence of next-generation talent, such as Kohei Nawa and Reijiro Wada. In association with the gallery, artists such as Anish Kapoor, Darren Almond, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and He Xiangyu have produced new bodies of work inspired by Japanese culture. Through a number of public art projects including iconic installations by Tatsuo Miyajima and Louise Bourgeois at Roppongi Hills, SCAI The Bathhouse has been introducing the cutting edge of art into landscapes of the city, expanding audiences for contemporary art in Japan.
SCAI The Bathhouse seeks to function as a meeting place of various currents of contemporary art, both in Japan and abroad, and to play a leading and responsible role in the art scene. Over the decades, SCAI has produced many exceptional artists, gallerists and art directors alike. In this same ethos, the gallery continues to realize visionary initiatives, such as "SCAI PARK”, which extends preservation and depot space to an exhibition site, and “SCAI PIRAMIDE”, which seeks to foster thoughtful exchanges and further advance the contemporary art scene in Tokyo.

SCAI THE BATHHOUSE opened a new space, SCAI PARK, at TERRADA Art Complex in Tennozu Isle in March, 2017. As a newly renovated section of the gallery’s 270 square meter warehouse, SCAI PARK is an exhibition space serving both functions of preservation and presentation at the heart of the gallery’s work site. A series of curated programmes will showcase new works by SCAI’s represented artists as well as historical masterpieces from the gallery’s collection.
One of the forefront missions for galleries is to present artworks that question the nature of our contemporaneity. Since its establishment in 1989, SCAI has championed the development of contemporary art with a particular focus on Asian artists, providing consistent support for their creations and introducing their practices into its international network.
Now with the establishment of SCAI PARK, we present distinguished pieces from the past for renewed critique and interpretation, aiming to contribute to the formation of visual art discourse in Tokyo.
SCAI PARK introduces pieces — both old and new — from our wider network at the crossing between the artist studio and institutional and personal collections.
