Going Beyond Boundaries: A Conversation with Hitomi Kondo

Each gallery has its own personality. And that personality is created by the director. As a standing example of traditional Japanese architecture, Gallery C.A.J. blends in as a part of Kyoto's old cityscape but stands out as an exhibition space. Director Hitomi Kondo says she built this space to leave a lasting impression on its visitors. Likewise, the works she curates carry this aesthetic through the venue. In this interview she shares her background, extensive activities and views on jewelry.
