A Study of the Temporary Exhibitions Held by the Design Gallery,Part3,-Tokyo Designers Space

Abstract

This study introduces my investigation of 'design gallery' exhibition invitation, as part of an ongoing comparatives study of design galleries in Japan-galleries that specifically exhibt 'design' rather than 'art'. In particuar, I focus on Tokyo Designers Space (TDS), opened in Kita-Aoyama (Tokyo) in 1976, before relocating to Roppongi. This gallery played an important role in post-war Japanese design, and as such these research materials significantly contribute to an understanding of the history of design in Japan.
