Featuring 120 Papers: Industry, Personal, and More
The "Only News Paper" exhibition aims to convey the value of newspapers to a wide audience. During the exhibition period, approximately 120 newspapers—including industry papers, corporate publications, local papers, and personal zines—will be on display and available for viewing. The exhibition design is by Shohei Iida and Kenji Nishio.
Kouta Ishizaki, former representative of Only Free Paper and now with nomazon, who is directing this project, shared, "'Only News Paper' is an exhibition I've always wanted to realize. The idea itself has existed for some time, but it was difficult to bring to fruition. By a chance encounter, Yu Yamada, the representative of method and operator of the venue (PLACE) by method, invited me to make this exhibition a reality, and we gradually began to move forward. The idea was born about two years ago, and preparations for the exhibition have been underway for the past year."
"While I've had various jobs and projects, this might be the most 'me' endeavor yet. It's a space dedicated solely to newspapers, yet within it lies new values, possibilities, and undoubtedly, inspiration and discoveries. I sincerely hope you will visit."
