Challenging the boundaries of design
Print Edition
THE Power Station of Art is hosting Kazuhiro Yamanaka’s “Visible X Invisible.” The design exhibition runs until May 2.
This is the Japanese product and interior designer’s first solo exhibition on the Chinese mainland.
Yamanaka’s cross-disciplinary creative practices of unique style challenges the boundaries between product design, lighting design and pure art.
The exhibition features 14 most representative works from Yamakana’s design career, including “One Thousand Nights” (2006), a dynamic lighting installation, and “Collapsible Moon” (2016), a new work specially commissioned for his China solo.
Yamanaka is highly skilled at developing the poetry of minimalism with common materials, such as paper or plastic as seen in his works like “Handkerchief Light” (1999), “It’s Only a Paper Moon” (2012), and “Paper Torch” (2013), to create flexible yet simple geometrical shapes.
Such aesthetic expression that challenges the limits of creative design further reveals a kind of simple but tasteful poetry in the complicated daily life, just as Yamanaka once said, “Designers should contemplate how to create a maximum impact with minimum use of material.”
Date: Through May 2, 10am-6pm
Venue: Power Station of Art
