three is a magic number 7

three (est. 2009), an anonymous artist collective from Fukushima Prefecture, stayed in New York and worked at a temporary studio in the Gallery this July as the first invitees to Japan Society’s Summer Artist Residency Program. Miraculously, during their month-long stay, they have created 555 works out of 555 Japanese and American comic and anime plastic figures, taking a cue from the number five in homage to the five boroughs of New York. Immerse yourself in the sea of transformed characters in this special exhibition. Smartphone usage recommended. Free admission during building operating hours.
