PM 12-7
Open: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
The sixth edition of the Plus Plus Project brings together a composer and a visual artist in collaboration. Visual artist IMAMURA Ryosuke and composer YAMANE Akiko, two artists with distinct backgrounds in different disciplines, each take their own approach to sound as a material, creating sound-based installations. Drawings, text scores, and other visual elements are also incorporated into the works, shaping the gallery space as a whole. In this urban gallery space, where different expressions of sound overlap and resonate, how will we experience and perceive their echoes?

About ¡plas ¡plas* Project
¡plas ¡plas is a series initiated by +1art to support emerging artists who create works using sound as a material or inspired by the idea of sound. Launched in 2023, the project seeks to provide a platform for young artists to explore new forms of expression through sound.
In these turbulent times, when we are constantly confronted with unforeseen circumstances, artistic expression continues to diversify, and we sense that unexpected and unconventional works will continue to emerge. Through this project, we hope that the gallery space itself can become a starting point for such new expressions.
*“¡plas, plas!” is a Spanish onomatopoeia representing the sound of applause.

YAMANE Akiko
Born in Kyoto in 1982. Completed a Master's degree in Composition at the Kyoto City University of Art , in 2007. Her practice has explored the friction between bodily sensations such as consumption, sexuality, and cuteness, and the environments and institutions that shape them. Her work moves fluidly between musical composition—from traditional notation to text scores—and spatial installation. Recent projects include the recital and installation BGM (2026); the album furniture music in pixel field (2026); Artistic Director of Secondary Creation at the Ryogoku Art Festival (2024); and curator of Mieko Shiomi: Performances & Visual Works, Kobe (2021), among others.
