Exhibition announcement : #tinypeople by global instagrammers at artless appointment gallery
artless Inc.
In an age where social networking services have led to the democratization of photography, artists with tens of thousands of followers known as “Instagrammers”, have emerged. The practice of using # (hashtags) to augment both the self and others is a contemporary and conceptual act. This exhibition features five Instagrammers from Instagram, a present-day “global village”. Unified by the hashtag #tinypeople, artworks are given physical forms through large format printing.

at artless appointment gallery
artless appointment gallery is proud to announce our second exhibition, “#tinypeople by global instagrammers”, which will open on July 7(Friday).
In an age where social networking services have led to the democratization of photography, artists with tens of thousands of followers known as “Instagrammers”, have emerged. The practice of using # (hashtags) to augment both the self and others is a contemporary and conceptual act.
In the 1960s when the television was firmly ingrained in the lives of people, Marshall McLuhan coined the phrase ”The medium is the message”, explaining that the medium is interlinked with the message being told. He hypothesized that electronic technology will create a global society that is similar to the small villages of the past, which he called the “global village”. Instagram exemplifies the global village of today, collectively expressing a message that captures the essence our times.
The exhibition features five Instagrammers from Instagram, a present-day global village. Unified by the hashtag #tinypeople, artworks are given physical forms through large format digital C-type printing; a transference from the online to the offline world. All exhibited artworks can be purchased at the gallery upon request.
Please come and enjoy the global village of today as told by the Instagrammers at artless appointment gallery.
As of today on June 27, 2017, the total number of followers of the five Instagrammers is 377.9k, and is increasing everyday - shun kawakami, art director / curator
