  • MOT Annual 2005: Life Actually

    —

    ,

    Worst exhibition title of the year? This exhibition gathers female artists including Ikemura Leiko, Konoike Tomoko, Okada Hiroko, as well as Sawada Tomoko, who transformed into a whole class of school girls for a group shot (photo), and Shimada Yoshiko, who reveals “family secrets” she collected from visitors.

    The Mori Tower’s Mori Arts Center Gallery (52F) has just launched the Ando Tado designed Louis Vuitton exhibition “Universal Symbol of the Brand.” From antique trunks dating back to 1854, the birth of “Louis Vuitton”, to topical bags created in collaboration with modern artists, the many rare items featured in this exhibition trace the roots…

    Some Tokyo Geidai sponsored events of interest. Did you know that the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music has a department of Inter Media Art?

Along with forging a new era in the advertising and design world since the 1970s, Katsumi Asaba has displayed multiple talents while…

  • Ross Lovegrove

    —

    ,

    Sounds like a nice one to check out. Internationally renowned British product designer and advocate of “organic design”, Ross Lovegrove came to Japan. In his two- and three-dimensional creations that look at once inorganically solid and sensuously soft the designer brings together sensitivity and technology for a fortunate marriage. His wire-frame objects onto which video…
