21_21 DESIGN SIGHT Exhibition "AUDIO ARCHITECTURE"

June 2018 - Roppongi, Tokyo

Exhibition space design for “Audio Architecture” directed by Yugo Nakamura, a show that aims to construct an “audio architectural space” through a series of video works created by nine different artists. All of these works were created around a single piece of original music composed by Keigo Oyamada (Cornelius).

We interpreted each creator's presentation areas in terms of time rather than space. This was done to encourage the 1+8 artist groups to take full advantage of the entire exhibition space for dynamic expressions. Furthermore, by focusing on time, we made use of the show’s focus on the phenomenon as opposed to physical matter, and created a “theater ” by regarding the space itself as a screen.

Behind the screen, artists were given spaces of identical conditions. Eight “audio architectural spaces,” each linked to the original music, continue to develop in parallel to the events that unfold on the large shared screen in the back.

In this show, separate creative endeavors are connected by one central music—this idea eventually led us to the concept of the “part/whole.” The space design for this exhibition lies in the process of optimizing and improving upon the infrastructure underlining the project-artist relationship.
