This October, aarticles travels to Tokyo for The Setting, a four-day exhibition at Vacant/Centre, presented as part of Praxis #3. Opening on Friday, October 2, the exhibition brings together pieces from our collection with contemporary design and found objects sourced in Japan.


Praxis is an open-ended installation initiated by Yusuke Nagai, founder of Vacant, and developed within the gallery space at Vacant/Centre. For Praxis #3, aarticles joins the installation as its guest.


At the centre is the table: a place where people gather, eat, work, arrange objects and exchange words. Different objects and people come together around it, creating a setting that shifts with its arrangement and with those who gather there.


On Saturday, October 3, we will also host a special dinner with Tokyo-based artist and chef Ola Szwałek, a longtime friend of aarticles founder Kasia Sznajder. Gathering around the table at the centre of the exhibition, we will share an evening of food and conversation.


We hope you’ll join us for The Setting, open for four days only.
