Since its opening in 1994, Taka Ishii Gallery has continued to maintain and develop an exhibition program based on the goals of introducing international contemporary artists within Japan and acting as an international platform for emerging Japanese artists as well as contemporary masters.
While the gallery aesthetic is rooted in the photographic, the program is contemporary and represented artists work in a variety of media. A yearly exhibition program of eight solo and/or group exhibitions is supplemented by the publication of catalogs and artists’ books, with an emphasis on the promotion of emerging Japanese artists.
In addition to the primary exhibition space at complex665 in Roppongi, opened in 2011 Taka Ishii Gallery Photography / Film focuses on historical exhibitions of pre and postwar Japanese photography and film work. In 2023, branches in Kyoto and Maebashi have opened, developing collaborative projects with artists based in and outside of Japan. In November 2024 the gallery opened a new exhibition space in Kyobashi, Tokyo.
