This first collaboration between art space AAIMACHINE and Japanese avant garde shoe brand GROUNDS combines their artistic attitude and visual statements in the group exhibition: “ASHIMOTO AND THE GIANT LEAP,” a meeting between visuals that shake up the idea of good taste and shoes that make clever and humorous fashion statements.

ASHIMOTO AND THE GIANT LEAP is not a designer show and certainly not a pop-up store, it is a contemporary art and fashion exhibition that has ‘a shoe’ as its basis. It obviously goes beyond the shoe, it goes beyond fashion and beyond the art object, it is an exhibition that celebrates the freedom and visual humour of the limitless spirit of art in which really everything is justified to play with artistically. This is something AAIMACHINE believes we will all need a little more of in 2025.

AAIMACHINE & GROUNDS presents the beautiful and eclectic work of this diverse group of artists:

Johanna Trudzinski, Johan Rham, Lieven Segers, Liliane Vertessen, Mikio Sakabe, Pelican Avenue, Stef Van Looveren, Water Blue, Yusuke Hotchi & Mara Grigoriu, Xavier Noiret-Thomé.
