The main theme of DESIGNART TOKYO 2024 is “Reframing – the beginning of a shift. We focused on the activities of creators who present new values by looking at things from a different perspective, without being bound by conventional frameworks. This official exhibition is a groundbreaking exhibition that allows visitors to experience “Reframing” by around 18 creators, curated by four leading figures in different fields such as art, design, crafts, and technology. This is a groundbreaking exhibition. The curators, who have been pursuing their own unique beauty, and the creators, who crystallize their own beliefs into works of art. Looking at this exhibition, I feel that while each genre should be respected in its own context, it is no longer meaningful to clearly demarcate the boundaries between them.
