"TakaraTomy has updated their Transformers site with an announcement of a Transformers Art Exhibition titled TransformArt that will be exhibited from August 8-13, 2008 at the Art Center Ongoing Hall in Kichijoji, Tokyo Japan. Also added to the event page is the promotion for C3XHobby Exclusive Henkei Stunticon Wildrider that will also be available from e-Hobby after the event in limited quantities. A Transformers Marvel Crossover subsection has also been added along with a product page for Binaltech BT-22 Convoy which is listed as being available in September 2008 as opposed to the October 2008 date printed in the latest issue of Figure Ou!"

My Japanese friend translated the details as best he can:

"Actually, I cannot grasp it only by having read an explanation, too.
The details of the art exhibition on the web is as follows,
Date:Aug.8th~31th
Place:Art center ongoing
http://ongoing.jp/map.html
1-8-7 Kichijouji-Higashi-town,Musashino-city,Tokyo-to
1.It is likely that the main exhibition is the modern art that the motif is
TF.
2.It is likely that the original picture and the article of TF are also
exhibited.
3.There is the sale of the event-limited T-shirt. (But it is after August
9th .)
I think that these works become the key.
Possibly they may become the against contents from TF.
Then they will become the event of the contents which were far apart
from the thing which the fan of TF hopes for greatly.
So you should decide going to see after
reading information such as the blog of the fan after it is held."

He's a bit confused himself by what was written!
BTW: You can get to the event easily on the (yellow) sobu line if you come from Chiba station and others on that line, or change at Tokyo station!
Also, on the 30th, the Chara-Hobby Expo will be in full swing:

This is also the place hosting the rock-tastic "Summer Sonnic" music festival, BTW.
NOTE: I posted this here as I couldnt find the original post at TFormers forums (the TFormers news page didnt have a comment link!)
cool to keep us updated though, too bad no one comes to this section.
