Time & Style Midtown is pleased to present the SCENE 5 “exercise” exhibition featuring two artists, Takuro Usui and Shoko Masunaga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition “SCENE” is a series of exhibitions that began to take on the characteristics of Time & Style as a unique interior design shop and create an exhibition that focuses on the shop as a whole. This exhibition is the fifth in the series, which started to create a scene (SCENE) for the artists to come into contact with the shop and its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In SCENE 5 “exercise,” based on the purpose of “SCENE,” we will focus on the “product display” to propose and introduce the products. The exhibition was designed to allow visitors to experience the difference between a “display exhibition” and an “art exhibition.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the interior shop, where people and products are constantly changing, and the display environment is continuously moving, the two artists have taken on the atmosphere of the shop and the products more flexibly, and based on their own experience and senses as artists, they have created an exhibition in which you can experience their approach to display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*exercise: a variety of practices that use the head and body. It implies the consolidation and development of current skills, wisdom, and techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takuro Usui’s work is a series of installations and videos that use the shapes and patterns of familiar everyday objects, the environment, and the materials that make up the situation. Usui’s work is based on the artist’s awareness of the changes and discomforts that can occur from the minimal processing and experimentation of everyday objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work of Shoko Masunaga is based on the artist’s subjective perception of the environment in which her work is created and on certain rules of painting and sculpture. The result may be a repetitive pattern or shape or a borrowed outline from the environment, but it is always an extension of the artist’s sensory act of drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the two artists’ approaches to expression are different, they share a common denominator in that their work develops in various ways in response to the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the context of this exhibition, we invite you to discover the characteristics and differences between the two artists and their interaction with Time & Style’s products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition will be constantly fine-tuned, and the works will be replaced according to the situation to comply with the purpose of the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
