ITbM Gallery

Announcement

Since its opening in 2018, ITbM Gallery has served as a space connecting science, art, and the local community, thanks to the support of many individuals.
Due to the organizer’s transition to another institution, it has become difficult to maintain continuous operations, and therefore ITbM Gallery will be closing.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the artists who exhibited their work, the visitors who came to see the exhibitions, and everyone who contributed to making each show possible.
The encounters and moments of co-creation we shared with you have been an invaluable part of ITbM’s journey.

Although the gallery will close, the spirit of “inclusive imagination” born here will continue to live on in our future activities.
Thank you once again for your generous support and collaboration.

About

ITbM Gallery was located within the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM) building at Nagoya University. WPI-ITbM serves as a hub for creating a new interdisciplinary realm of research by fostering collaboration between cutting-edge synthetic chemistry, animal/plant biology, and theoretical science. Its mission is to introduce “transformative bio-molecules” that not only revolutionize scientific practices but also impact our way of life.

As part of ITbM’s initiatives around the theme of “Mix,” the gallery provided a unique space at the crossroads of science and art, highlighting the creativity and beauty born from their fusion. Its aim was to inspire scientists to explore unconventional ideas and nurture innovative “Mix” concepts, while offering students, faculty, and staff opportunities to reflect on the meaning of “Mix” and its diverse interpretations.

Although ITbM Gallery has now closed, the spirit of inclusive imagination and interdisciplinary dialogue that shaped its exhibitions will continue to inform ITbM’s future activities. We are deeply grateful to all who contributed to this journey.
