“Atsushi KItagawara: Consetellations of Time and Space” is the first solo museum exhibition by architect Atsushi Kitagawara (b.1951), who designed the Nakamura Keith Haring Collection. Kitagawara garnered attention for expressing the fictitious nature of the city through architecture with Rise (1986), a cinema in Shibuya, and has since continued innovative and imaginative works.
This exhibition explores Kitagawara’s creative process by likening his sources of inspiration to “stars” and his architecture to “constellations.” Focusing on the six key elements that define the Nakamura Keith Haring CollectionーInverted Cone, Darkness, Giant Frame, Nature, Hope, and Colliding Wallsーthe exhibition presents architectural models and documents to trace the development of his design methodology.
Additionally, an immersive, sensory-based installastion will be held at the neighboring Hotel Keyforest Hokuto, while a display at JR Kobuchizawa Station will highlight Kitagawara’s projects in the foothills of the Yatsugatake Mountains and the unique appeal of the local area. Through this exhibition, visitors are invited to journey through Kitagawara’s architectural “universe,” beginning with the Nakamura Keith Haring Collection.
