The sansaro art box is an art and culture-promoting non-profit exhibition concept by SUSHIYA GmbH, which runs the Japanese restaurant sansaro in the Amalienpassage. As a showcase in the public space that can be seen from all sides - directly adjacent to the restaurant - the art box offers artists an extraordinary exhibition space for contemporary art that creates visibility and opens up new perspectives.

With changing exhibitions every two months, the art box ensures diversity and freshness, provides artistic impetus and encourages dialog. The project is open to all forms of artistic expression: from painting and sculpture to performance. Particularly in demand are bold, conceptually strong works that deal with the unusual architecture of the showcases - because here artistic freedom meets spatial challenge.

The complex forms of the showcase must be filled with coherent and well thought-out concepts for the presentation of the artistic works - a fundamental and important requirement. The presentation must be adapted to the “solitary nature” of the showcases. The artist should try to play with the forms of the box through the installation of his works, to incorporate them or include them in the works.
