kyoto ddd gallery The 232nd Exhibition ddd DATABASE 1991-2022
July 23, 2022 - September 25, 2022
ddd gallery was established in 1991 in Dojima, Osaka, and for more than 30 years has served as Kansai’s only graphic design gallery at locations in Namba, Osaka and Uzumasa, Kyoto. This year in July, the gallery will again relocate, this time to COCON KARASUMA in Kyoto. The first exhibition following this relocation will be entitled “ddd DATABASE,” and will draw upon all of the gallery’s previous exhibitions. Centered around a website covering information on these 231 exhibitions and an exhibition space that uses promotional materials in a three-dimensional way, it will emphasize the motifs of the Kansai designers who have been involved with ddd gallery’s past exhibitions, and serve as a platform for the resources of the past to influence graphic design yet to come.
Special Website
