Hokkaido’s first landing! Nakamura Keith Haring Museum holds pop-up event for a limited time at The Johnson Store Sapporo

Nakamura Keith Haring Museum's Museum Shop will develop Keith Haring goods collected from around the world at The Johnson Store Sapporo from Friday, June 28 to Friday, July 15, 2019. We will hold a pop-up museum shop. We will develop items recommended for the museum curator's selected gifts, such as Herring's own designed POP SHOP items, T-shirts with prints from our library, and toys for children.



Keith Haring opened a pop shop selling his goods in downtown New York City in 1986, and in Tokyo two years later, to communicate with more people through art. The original goods, which are also an extension of the performance of Herring, can be called a work that has his message and concept. Even after the death, the powerful message continues to be transmitted to the world by many collaborations. The Nakamura Keith Haring Museum collects such thoughtful items from Harling from around the world, inherits Herring's will and delivers it to many people who will visit it. We believe that the pop-up shop is an opportunity to introduce the "works" of Hering to people in various areas. In addition to product sales, we also have a corner to introduce activities of a number of related companies and groups as a place to provide information such as HIV / AIDS prevention, support for positive people, visualization of LGBTQ community.

http://www.nakamura-haring.com/
The hotel was established in 2007 at the foot of the Yatsugatake where the ancient Jomon culture flourished. The environment created at an altitude of 1,000 meters is said to be similar to the mother cycle that fosters life.
The collection is the only museum in the world, consisting of about 300 works by Keith Haring collected by the founder, Kazuo Nakamura, since 1987. The exhibition space is built on the basis of Keith Haring and the "light and shadow" of the time when he ran through. The boldly curved roof and the outer wall that represents waves and lightning also represent the energy of life that is common to Hering's work. This design has won Murano Fujiwara Prize, JIA Japanese Architecture Grand Prize, and Atsushi Yamanashi Architectural Culture Award twice, by Mr. Atsushi Kitakawara, who leads modern Japanese architecture in Japan.
In the spring of 2015, we reopened on the theme of "Art Museum beyond the Art Museum". We introduce domestic and foreign artists with the aim of developing new art that takes over Hering's art and thought. Held an exhibition to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its opening in 2017, the first official catalog in Japanese, Keith Haring Art is for everyone. Published.

Keith Haring, like Warhol and Basquiat, is a leading American art artist in the 1980s. I caught a glimpse of graffiti art called “Subway Drawing” using billboards in a subway in New York. Herring's art is not limited to paintings and sculptures, and her activities range from animations to pop shops, which sell stage designs, murals, posters, picture books, record jackets and goods. In Japan, "Pop Shop Tokyo" was launched in Tokyo Aoyama, causing a boom. We also held workshops with children from around the world and worked on many social projects.
In 1988, he was diagnosed with AIDS, and in the following year he established a foundation for underprivileged children and a foundation for inheriting HIV / AIDS prevention and enlightenment movement, and until he died at the age of 31 in 1990, social activities through art. I was actively involved in Today, he continues to contribute to society based on the living studio in Greenwich Village, New York, inheriting Herring's will.
