Exhibition layout for ‘Coordinates’, a related event to the TOKYO ATLAS International Art Exhibition, which is taking place on the first floor of WHAT museum. As this is a group exhibition, each artist has been allocated their own area. Partition walls are installed where necessary and display units are designed to each artist’s specifications. The partition walls are designed to blend in with the existing walls as much as possible, while the display units are unobtrusive yet shared subtle similarities; they are positioned to span the boundaries between the artists’ areas.

国際美術展TOKYO ATLAS関連企画「座標」展1Fの会場構成。グループ展であり、作家はそれぞれのエリアを割り当てられている。間仕切壁を必要なところに設置し、作家が求める什器をそれぞれ設計する。間仕切壁はなるべく既存壁と区別がつかないようにし、什器は無個性でありながら、少しだけ共通性を持たせたディテールとし、作家それぞれのエリアを横断して、配置された。

The newly installed partition walls blended in with the existing walls so well that even the column, which is originally part of the exhibition space, began to function as if they were part of the new partition walls. This phenomenon is alluded to in the venue map, which I happened to design.

新設した間仕切壁が既存壁と馴染んだ結果、展示空間にもともとあった既存の柱さえも、あたかも新設した間仕切壁のように機能しはじめた。たまたまデザインすることになった会場マップに実は、そのことが暗示されている。
