AIT was begun by six curators and organisers in 2001 with the idea that Tokyo lacked spaces in which to think about, learn and discuss art. We work with individuals, companies, foundations, and governmental institutions to promote contemporary art through a variety of programs, such as our School on Contemporary art MAD, residency program, talks, exhibitions, awards, art tours and much more.
The Daikanayama AIT room mainly functions as the lecture room for the School of Contemporary Art MAD, mainly held on weekday nights and Saturdays, where avid art fans gather and enjoy discussion on various topics on art. Otherwise, talks and small-scale exhibitions by resident artists, lounge events and more are held through out the year. Celebrating the 16th year of MAD, the room is currently being renewed into a multi-functioning space for the years to come.
