BEAMS CULTUART will be holding an exhibition of acoustic life form LEAK titled "BACKYARD" at BEAMS JAPAN (Shinjuku).
2025.05.09
BEAMS CULTUART, a project that promotes the art and entertainment culture of BEAMS globally, will hold an exhibition of the acoustic life form "LEAK" by bricolage artist Daichi Murakami, entitled "BACK YARD," at the 5th floor B GALLERY BEAMS CULTUART BEAMS JAPAN (Shinjuku) from Friday, May 16th to Sunday, June 8th, 2025. The acoustic life form "LEAK" is a one-of-a-kind art piece and Bluetooth speaker created by bricolage artist Daichi Murakami that expresses resonance (sound) and ecology (design) extracted from cities, lifestyles, and culture. During the exhibition, we plan to sell collaboration goods with tattoo artist TAPPEI (@tappeis), who designed the latest model speaker "LEAK PICO" and flyers.

The life form called LEAK actually exists.
We met with the architectural collective SAMPO Inc. (@we_are_sampo),
Just behind the scenes and underground of everyday life,
We were building a laboratory to explore the best growing environment and methods of symbiosis for LEAK.
recently,
"Apparently, they have a secret base somewhere in Shinjuku."
Rumors are beginning to circulate...
At B GALLERY,
The entrance to the secret base...
They are waiting for you between the shelves of stores.
For music and art lovers,
Please come and visit this unknown laboratory.

This exhibition is a concrete and experiential representation of the real world of LEAK, and visitors will not only experience it through the auditory experience of the audio equipment, but will also be able to peer into a miniature world created in a diorama, and will provide an immersive experience as if there was actually a secret base set up in the back yard of the store.

Story…
After several years of adapting to the Earth's environment, LEAK gave birth to another life form.
The name is LEAK PICO
The name PICO comes from the Italian word for the smallest unit.
From the sound and the cuteness of this miniature acoustic lifeform
It is derived from.
When used alone, the sound is mono and small, but when the two are combined
Evolves into stereo.
It's as if LEAK is adapting to its environment and thriving in a new form.
