Art Token’s Artcube 2R2 to Present Choi Young-wook, Ha Taeim at Tokyo Gendai 2026

Artcube 2R2, a gallery operated by Art Token, will take part in Tokyo Gendai 2026 in Japan, presenting works by Choi Young-wook and Ha Taeim.

Art Token announced on Sept. 4 that Artcube 2R2 will participate in the fair from Sept. 11 to Sept. 13 at PACIFICO Yokohama in Yokohama, Japan.

The presentation will be organized jointly with TAOS GALLERY TOKYO. The two galleries will show works by Korean and Japanese artists at booth H17 in the Hana sector, which focuses on emerging and mid-career artists.

Artcube 2R2’s presentation will feature Choi and Ha. Choi is known for his Karma series inspired by Joseon white porcelain moon jars. His works are held in major overseas collections including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Spanish royal family.

Ha studied at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris. In 1999, she won the Principality of Monaco Award at the Monaco International Exhibition of Contemporary Painting. Her signature Color Band series is held by major institutions in South Korea and abroad, including the Seoul Museum of Art, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, and the Museum of Modern Art of Monaco.

TAOS GALLERY TOKYO will also present works by MIKITYPE, whose practice extends the formative qualities of calligraphy into painting, and Kyojiro Kitoh, who has explored abstract painting for more than 40 years.

Now in its fourth year, Tokyo Gendai is an international contemporary art fair launched in 2023. This year’s event will include galleries such as Pace Gallery, Sadie Coles HQ and Ypsilon Gallery. A VIP preview is scheduled for Sept. 10.

Hong Ji-sook, chief executive of Art Token and Artcube 2R2, said the fair would introduce Japanese collectors and audiences to the aesthetics and contemporary sensibility of Korean contemporary art through the works of Choi and Ha.

She added that the company aims to broaden exchanges among Korean and Japanese artists and galleries.

Hong also said the company will continue collaborating with galleries and artists in South Korea and overseas to expand artists’ international opportunities. It plans to deepen its reach in overseas markets through goods, art fairs and pop-up stores built around artists’ intellectual property.

The joint booth by Artcube 2R2 and TAOS GALLERY TOKYO will be located at H17 in the Hana sector of Tokyo Gendai 2026. General admission will run from Sept. 11 to Sept. 13.
