The exhibition showcases the works of this year’s seven finalists: Sayaka Akiyama, Tsuyoshi Hisakado, Takashi Ishida, Takahiro Iwasaki, Futoshi Miyagi, Yuko Mohri and Tomoko Yoneda, who are competing for the grand prize — an opportunity to study at London’s Camden Arts Centre for two months.

Visitors are also asked to participate by voting for their favorite artist to win a special Audience Award.
