DIS × TOSHIKI (2019)
TOSHIKI presented photographic works and bags created in collaboration with the New York–based art collective DIS.
DIS was founded in 2010 by Lauren Boyle, Solomon Chase, Marco Roso, and David Toro. Until 2018, through their online media platform DIS Magazine , which focused on various phenomena and cultures surrounding the internet, mass consumption, commercialism, and the behind-the-scenes of fashion, they developed numerous projects aimed at addressing social issues. In addition to producing artworks and criticism, they curated the “Present in Drag” exhibition at the 9th Berlin Biennale in 2016, demonstrating a wide range of activities.
Currently, their main focus has shifted to dis.art , a video streaming platform centered around the theme of “edutainment.” Inviting renowned artists and critics, they focus on redefining entertainment and education through philosophy, technology, contemporary art, activism, and culture.
TOSHIKI's show works originated from the video series XOXO, SAFETY NET , which depicts the economic crisis that the millennial generation faced following the 2008 financial collapse.
