The Setting at Vacant/Centre, Tokyo
This October, aarticles travelled to Tokyo for The Setting, an exhibition at Vacant/Centre, presented as part of Praxis #3. The exhibition brought together pieces from our collection, combined with contemporary design and found objects from 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.
We also hosted 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.
