MILAN! Together with nendo_official I will present

“Break to Make”
supported by friedman_benda. The theme that has long dominated my practice, “Fictional Archeology,” refers to the partial breaking of everyday things to transform them into “excavated” artifacts. In traditional Japanese craft, on the other hand, the idea of “creating to be broken” is honored, as displayed in the easily dismountable joinery of wood construction or in barrels made of just wooden planks and held together by a hoop.
This theme of “reverse-engineering from breaking” is often explored in nendo_official work as well.
An artist who creates by breaking, and a designer who creates things to be broken. An artist who expresses present objects as past artifacts, and a designer who makes present objects that anticipate the future. The collaboration may be seen as an overlay of these two contrary perspectives.18-23, April 10-19h
