TOKYO—Kaikai Kiki has announced that Philippe Segalot, Alison Gingeras, Marc-Olivier Wahler, and Jack Bankowsky will serve as jurors in the upcoming GEISAI #11 art fair in Tokyo, on September 14. Takashi Murakami, the fair's founder, will once again serve as chairman, and a fifth juror is to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

GEISAI, which is derived from the Japanese word "art festival," has been held in Japan twice a year since its inception in 2001, and made its US debut at Art Basel Miami Beach last year. The fair allows artists to represent themselves and present their work directly to an audience of collectors, curators, and art enthusiasts in a professional setting.

GEISAI #11 will be significantly larger than previous editions, boasting exhibition space for more than a thousand artists at Tokyo Big Sight. Applications for GEISAI #11 will be accepted at www.geisai11.us until July 13.
