▼ SPECIAL EXHIBITION | Imagining Satellites
A special exhibition titled “Imagining Satellites” that shows a new trend. Under the curation of Takuto Ota, eight next-generation artists who transcend genre boundaries will gather to demonstrate diverse possibilities through expression beyond design.
STATEMENT
“Imagining Satellites” examines the depth of the artist/designer’s personal motivations for creating work amidst societal expectations. Curated by Takuto Ota, the diverse works on display in this exhibition are the result of each artist’s solitary journey, and are lined with pieces that demonstrate the importance of self-reflection and the spirit of challenging conventional wisdom. By looking once again at the initial impulse toward the act of creating something, the exhibition questions the necessity of independently launching forms.These works go beyond mere visual expression; It can be said that it is a story of the fragility that accompanies the process of . This is an opportunity for viewers to confront the essence of the act of creating something and witness the pure desire that underpins creation.
