Congratulations to MASS artist Sato Sugamoto , currently on our sculpture programme, for being awarded the Kameyama Triennale Prize for ‘Glimpse’ at Kameyama Triennale.

Glimpse explores the impact of social media on our physiological states where chaotic, addictive, self-affirming habits fray mental states. The Kameyama Triennale Prize was awarded to the top three pieces selected at the Kameyama Triennale 2024 in Japan, aligned with the Triennale’s mission to serve as a gateway to success for emerging artists.
