Creative GBG in Tokyo plans on giving Tokyo a taste of what Gothenburg's creative community is all about. During Tokyo Design Week, twelve creators and companies from Gothenburg, Sweden, will participate in an exhibition with the mission to market themselves and the city. "A community of creatives is turning Sweden's second city, Gothenburg, into one of Europe's coolest towns," wrote Stephen Metcalf in a recent New York Times article, and Creative GBG in Tokyo's initiator and project manager Jesper Larsson agrees. "Gothenburg has a great creative community. I've guided several international journalists who are all happily surprised by what Gothenburg has to offer within the different creative fields."
MORE THAN AN EXHIBITION
Beyond the installations, Swedish food will also be served at the cafe, with music from Gothenburg artists streaming out of the speakers, and during one evening (November 5) creators from Gothenburg will be able to present themselves and share experiences with Tokyo creatives. An exhibition catalog profiling Gothenburg and the creators will also be produced and handed out for free.
FREE AND OPEN FOR EVERYONE
"The exhibition is independently produced by me and my company Next Century Modern, and due to support from The City of Gothenburg, ADA, Kanter & Karlsson, Cafe Pause, Jean Snow and the participating creators & companies we managed to keep it free and open for everyone," says Jesper, "so there is no reason NOT to go."
