Three Creators Share Their Current Thoughts
The second talk event, held on October 28th, will feature a conversation between the acclaimed artist Tadasu Takamine, who recently held a major solo exhibition at the Yokohama Museum of Art, and Kenmei Nagaoka, the designer behind D&DEPARTMENT. The moderator will be Kohki Hiranuma, the architect who oversaw the renovation of the building for the opening of D&DEPARTMENT OSAKA. Focusing on Takamine's work and activities, the speakers will discuss their current thoughts on the theme of "sharing," as in the previous event.
Following the talk, there will be a customary reception. We hope it will be an occasion for enjoyable exchange among participants. Please feel free to join us with friends and family!
