Yuuta Shimojima
Living Party feat. Miso Preparation
[Exhibition] [Performance]

Decameron, an art space and bar in Kabukicho, will be hosting a public live performance (demonstration) of "Seikatsu Party feat. Miso Shikomi" by Yuta Geji, who is currently holding his solo exhibition "What's Entertainment?" as part of "BENTEN 2 Art Night Kabukicho."
Yuta Geji makes miso soup every day using miso paste he makes himself, tailors his own clothes, and lives in furniture he has made himself. He presents these daily practices and thoughts in a variety of ways, including writing, art exhibitions, and music composition.
During the event, visitors will be able to participate in "miso preparation" with the Geshi and take home the miso they have prepared.
You can also simply enjoy the music of a DJ playing in the same space, along with other people, miso, koji mold, etc. Special works will also be exhibited at the solo exhibition venue, available only during this period.
Even after BENTEN 2 Art Night Kabukicho has finished, you can enjoy the process of "Kabukicho-made miso" continuing to ferment in each location.

Around 2021, he quit his job and the housekeeping service and self-published "Rebellious Miso Soup." He began to share his actions, which he had begun around the time he entered the workforce, such as making a living off rice and miso soup and designing homemade clothes for boycotts. His major solo exhibitions include "You can't use a pencil unless you sharpen it" (2024, VALLOONSTUDIOSHIBUYA, Tokyo), "Public Living" (2023, Atelier Salon Koushin Kyoku, Tokyo), "One day my friends asked me to teach them about the Earth" (2022, SALON DU DAHU, Kanagawa), and "Rebellious Miso Soup" (2022, Atelier Salon Koushin Kyoku, Tokyo). Major group exhibitions include "NEW Days" (2025, Art Center NEW, Yokohama) and "Drifting Holiday" (2023, Yokohama Civic Gallery, Yokohama).
