"The Power of Decoration - A Viewpoint on Contemporary Kôgei" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Crafts Gallery at the National Museum of Modern Art
Media: Crafts
Recent years have seen a flowering of excessively decorated craftworks that seem as if artists’ aim is the act of decorating itself, rather than producing ornamented objects. It seems as though these pieces show signs of the wish to restore primitive relationships between human beings and things through contact with materials. This show explores the possibilities of kôgei (studio crafts) in the 21st century with decoration as a hint.
