株式会社TEZEN代表 ｜ HAPON共同創設者
Representative Director of TEZEN Inc. and Co-Founder of HAPON
島根県出雲市大社町出身。国際基督教大学教養学部国際関係学科卒業。早稲田大学にて学芸員資格取得。出雲大社の近くで江戸時代から続く家に生まれ、美術工芸品と不昧流茶道に触れながら幼少期を過ごす。大学時代に留学したイギリスで現代美術と出会い衝撃を受ける。その影響から大学卒業後は東京で画廊に勤務、60〜70年代の日本現代美術に関する展示などを担当する。その後、同世代アーティストの活動支援を展開するため2008年に株式会社TEZENを設立。2011年には美術の領域を超えてシェアオフィスHAPONの立ち上げに参画、新しい働き方を実践する場所を仲間と共にプロデュースする。プライベートでは二児の母。
Originally from the Taishachō area of the city of Izumo in Shimane Prefecture, Wakako holds a degree in International Relations from International Christian University’s College of Liberal Arts and earned her qualification as a museum curator at Waseda University. Born near the ancient Shintō shrine of Izumo-taisha to a household whose roots can be traced back to the Edo Period, she spent her early childhood exposed to Japan’s traditional arts and crafts and the Fumai school of tea ceremony. As a university student, she was deeply moved by her encounter with contemporary art while studying overseas in the United Kingdom. After graduation, this encounter inspired her to become involved in the Tokyo gallery scene, where she organized exhibitions that included showings of contemporary Japanese art from the 1960s and 1970s. She went on to found TEZEN Inc. as a means of expanding support activities for younger artists in her own generation. In 2011, her activities expanded beyond the art world when she took part in the launch of HAPON, an office sharing initiative, which she and her colleagues are developing as a model workspace promoting a new style of working. In her private life, she is the mother of two children.
