Out Of Office

Profile

Out Of Office / OOO PRESS

Out Of Office (OOO) is a collective project overseen by Goto. Out Of Office refers to a state that transcends offices and organizations. It also signifies a collective of individual people. Out Of Office is a platform that provides an alternative approach to collaborating with other independent creatives. And, OOO PRESS is an Out Of Office’s publishing practice.

Collaborations

DECOBOCO(凸凹) is a platform for cultural programs and events located in the Enokojima district of Osaka. Goto serves as director of the platform in conjunction with Enokojima Art, Culture and Creative Center (enoco). DECOBOCO collaborates with various creatives, including No Architects and Studio Spass. The former designed most of the furniture and fixtures for DECOBOCO, and the company’s radio booth plays an important role in the community. The latter designed the playful signage for the FLAG studio.

Goto has been active in the Anata ga hoshii (“I want you”) artist collective since 2012. The group consists of two artists (Hayashi Yuk and Uematsu Takuma), a curator (Kobayashi Tadashi)), and a designer (Goto). The collaboration began with an exhibition at Weltkunstzimmer in Düsseldorf, Germany in 2013. This was followed by several exhibitions in Osaka, Suita, and Amagasaki. A catalogue of the exhibitions was published in 2016.
