Junko Shimada, owns and operates Gallery Side 2, in Roppongi, Tokyo. She is a very generous woman, always willing to respond to our ‘Urgent’ requests, like the time we first met her at Art Basel Hong Kong, two years ago, and instantly requested an interview with her artist, Takeo Hanazawa. So not Japanese of us! Junko has amazing tastes in art and is not quick to let on that these amazing tastes extend to other parts of arts and culture, like music! We are proud to claim Junko as a very great friend of SPITGAN Magazine, and also, without hesitation, our favorite gallery owner in the world!
