Kiko Mizuhara x SKWAT419202122 | A new story that once-in-a-lifetime encounter encounters like "Treasure Search" spun.

Questioning capitalism and the dynamics of the art market
Experimental shop project

The Shibuya PARCO 4F floor has been renewed based on the concept of sustainable, with the aim of creating a sales floor that proposes fashion, art and culture inherently and continuously reviewing the “natural” of commercial facilities. In the "SKWAT" zone, which borders the east escalator, a shop related to interior art and vintages has appeared. This is the permanent real store "Kinshami KANE-ZANMAI", a shop project that develops and sells experimental products of the artist collective "Chim ↑Pom from Smappa!Group". While art works are usually traded at a high price compared to "commodities", "Kinshami" deals with both of them and asks the mechanics of capitalism and the art market, such as "how is the value of art created" and "where is the boundary between products and works?" Nozoko Suwon challenged the gold shami crane game, which doesn't know what can be hung. On this day, the outer wall of the former Shibuya PARCO was sold. "Wow, this is heavy and I can never hang it (laughs). Here is the wall stone of the old Shibuya PARCO that was demolished.…It's interesting to have a mysterious feeling that the times have slipped back in time only in this gachagacha," says Nozoko Suwon.

By using it, it changes into a part of yourself
Vintage vases and objects from once-in-a-lifetime encounter

"PART OF PART OF NATURE" sells vintage items purchased by artist neighbor Kana Akiyama in the United States and Europe and other parts of the world. Glass pottery, single vases, and unique objects…On the pure white wall, "the only one in the world" vases are lined up, and the expressive flowers that live there teach us the joy of living with flowers. "I love vases! The shelves are full of vases (laughs). I want to go on a purchase journey with the owner! Various countries and different ages…The history of each item is different, but it seems that there is a sense of unity because it is chosen based on the owner's "like". Each one here has a story, and there are ideas that can not be considered in modern times. It makes you feel the infinite imagination of humans, such as "Why did you decide to make this?" It's packed with such a lot of fun."
