Taku Satoh Exhibition “MILK”

These are photos of my solo exhibition at Gallery Kobo in Tokyo’s Ginza district. The objects unveiled here I made from FRP using enlarged parts of my design for a milk package. I had done the “Design Anatomy Exhibition” before, and that was also themed around milk, where I went from the package all the way back to cow feed and dung, from a design point of view. The idea for this exhibition was to try and focus on the same subject as art, because it had appeared to me that I could probably do something that is almost contemporary art, if I focused on certain parts of familiar products. In the exhibition, I dismantled the package into small parts, and put those together again to create items including a circular panel. Needless to mention, it is a nod to the garbage problem of mass-produced articles—and to environmental problems at large. From the establishment of design to its dissection, and further, to art—I consider these not as separate things, but they are all part of the same flow. I am very thankful for the high evaluation that my work received on this occasion. Thank you very much.
