This exhibition looks back at the existing oeuvre of Yoshihisa Tanaka, but it also introduces the visual language that he developed through his ongoing client collaborations, focusing on the form of design that is more than fleeting. Using design materials preserved by businesses and universities,including the DNP Foundation for Cultural Promotion collections, the exhibits will examine how design processes and printed materials are preserved, classified, and exhibited. As part of this, Yoshihisa Tanaka is creating new storage containers, display fixtures, and structures for packing up materials using Japanese washi paper, a material that he has been studying for some time. He reimagines elements that ordinarily remain out of sight—the boxes, paper, mounts, classification systems, and display stands that are necessary for the archive’s work—as an exercise in graphic design.
