Mischa Leinkauf: Endogenous error terms

"Endogenous error terms" is a photo book for the German artist's, Mischa Leinkauf, exhibition at The Container, Tokyo. It is the 19th publication in a series published by the gallery to archive and promote artists in Japan and abroad. The catalogue showcases an introduction by the gallery director, Shai Ohayon, and illustrated by the artist. The publication showcases dozens of photographs of underground road systems and tunnels taken all over the world-from Karakorum in Mongolia, to Athens, Munich, Vienna, Moscow, Ekaterinenburg, Florence, and Tokyo. Those images were the base for a single channel video installation, entitled Endogenous error terms, Leinkauf created for The Container and exhibited 15 April-30 June, 2019. The Container is a contemporary exhibition space in Nakameguro, Tokyo. The space opened in March 2011 to create a site that encourages people to engage with art installations and works, where the emphasis is on curation and the accessibility of contemporary art and ideas to the general public. As the name suggests, the physical space is no more than a constructed shipping container (485x180x177cm), made to measurements of old Japanese shipping containers, housed inside Bross hair salon, in one of Tokyo's most loved and trendy neighbourhoods. The Container invites Japanese and international artists to make site-specifc installations four times a year. Each installation remains on view to the public for two-and-a- half months. Since 2013, The Container also started to publish full-colour, bilingual (Jap/Eng) exhibition catalogues, available online and at the gallery. The space receives extensive international coverage, including ArtAsiaPacific, Artforum, Hyperallergic, Glass Magazine, Art & Antiques Magazine, Ocula, Port Magazine, Dazed & Confused, Blouin Artinfo, Art-iT, Bijutsu-Techo/BT, CNN, NHK, Tokyo Art Beat, The Japan Times, and The Sunday Times, travel guides and in-flight magazines, to mention only a few. www.the-container.com
