Kubota Kenji (curator, Art Tower Mito) vol. 007

April 5-8
The works to be featured in the "Lonely Planet" exhibition are
arriving one after another, and we're setting up the displays.
Artists and their assistants have gathered at the Art Tower,
and I can finally see how the exhibition is taking on shape.
Once again I realise that the set-up of artworks is the most
exciting part of an exhibition, but at the same time the moment
where I feel the strongest pressure. We're all working on the
displays until late these days.

(2) Event Pick of the Week
===============================================================

Sato Taku: Plasticity

Designer Sato Taku has been responsible for the packaging of
countless hit items, including Nikka Whiskey Pure Malt, Meiji
Oishii Gyunyu milk and Lotte Xylitol Gum. Here he shows the whole
range of his work and gives his own explanation to each piece on
display, so I recommend you take your time for the exhibition.
You will also get an idea of Sato's own -- and broadly accepted --
philosophy of design in relation with its environment, expressed
in such statements as "my design is the design people see in it."
Spiced up with a spoonful of humor and never to obtrusive, the
magnetizing logo and package designs line up here make a nice
occasion for a reconsideration of design.
--Murata Yuko
