A Gallery Space Exhibiting Works with a New Perspective Opens
Landscape Products, known for operating the interior shop "Playmountain" and cafe "Tas Yard" while proposing a unique lifestyle, has recently been involved in directing exhibitions and events. They are now opening a gallery space in Toranomon, Tokyo.

The inaugural event features two simultaneous exhibitions.
The new space, curated by Landscape Products, is named "CURATOR’S CUBE." With a concept to "introduce talents whose reputations are not yet established, and to gain new perspectives through the unique vision of talented individuals," they renovated a five-story building themselves, dedicating the first and second floors to exhibition space.
As its inaugural event, two exhibitions will be held concurrently: "Adam Silverman Exhibition Earth" and "Small Trade Company TOKYO SHOW." This marks the fifth solo exhibition by Adam Silverman organized by Landscape Products. I am eager to witness how his evolving body of work will integrate with this new space.
Adam Silverman
After studying architecture, art, and design at university, he moved to Los Angeles as an architect. He later co-founded XLARGE. In 2003, he decided to dedicate himself to pottery, something he had been doing for friends and family for the past 25 years, and established Atwater Pottery. In 2008, coinciding with Heath Ceramics' opening of a store in Los Angeles, he took on the role of studio director. He actively engages in cross-genre projects, including his own research into ceramics, the development of new lines for Heath Ceramics, and the planning of solo exhibitions in gallery spaces.
Small Trade Company
Established in 2010, primarily focusing on the design of workwear and clothing that Matt Dick had been doing freelance. With experience training in indigo dyeing in Japan, an encounter with art director Mr. Tamotsu Yagi upon returning to the US, and having worked as staff in a San Francisco studio, he has been influenced by Japanese culture, sensibilities, and ways of thinking. This Tokyo trunk show will feature baskets, dyed goods, and special denim.
