Tasokare - Who are you

Barrack is an art collective formed by Furuhata Taiki and Kondo Kanako that opened Art Space & Cafe Barrack, which includes both a cafe and gallery space, in Seto in 2017. Barrack holds monthly exhibitions, as well as talk events, live performances, and workshops, engaging in activities that link a wide range of elements, including fine arts, food, local history, music, and visual arts education.
Barrack is opening a new café gallery at the restaurant at the Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum during Aichi Triennale 2025. The café space is selling food and drinks using recipes and tableware gathered from artists participating in the triennial, and incorporating in the cooking fruits that can be picked from trees on the grounds of the art museum. The gallery space is holding five exhibitions presenting works by eleven local artists with whom Barrack has developed relationships in Seto City. Friends involved in cafe and restaurant operation are also temporarily opening cafés in rented facilities, and holding workshops and selling merchandise. On the night of November 2, the Night Market of FLAMES is being held where people can enjoy live performances, food, and shopping on the grounds of the Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum.
After enjoying exhibits and performances, people can drink tea as they look back on and share what they saw, and think about the artists from a different perspective, which is the recipes that they create, instead of just thinking about works. Take it easy and enjoy yourself navigating your way among internal and external spaces, times that are light and times that are dark, and the many people taking part in the triennial.
