We have posted a video of a talk session about "Crafts as Art x Spatial Design," an initiative we are currently working on, on the Tanseisha official YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/TanseishaOfficial).
This talk session was originally scheduled to take place as part of an exhibitor seminar at JAPAN SHOP 2020, Japan's largest retail trade fair, which was scheduled to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from March 3rd (Tue) to 6th (Fri), 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the exhibition was canceled, and we have decided to make the talk session available in a new format by releasing it as Video content.
During the talk session, the artist, spatial designer, and producer will each talk about the background to the exhibition, the behind-the-scenes production process, and future prospects from their own perspectives.
The video also shows the exhibition that was held at our headquarters, Creative Meets, from July 13th (Mon) to August 21st (Fri), 2020, proposing "Crafts as Art x Spatial Design."
