2020.11.26
neobject is a new exhibition area planned by Chen Min for the 'Accessories of Design Pavilion'in Design Shanghai. This is an exhibition project centered on object, aiming to discover outstanding craftsmen with artistic aesthetics and design thinking, and to show the multiple dimensions of traditional craft innovation.
The first neobject space theme was 'Fusion & Boundary---between the explicit and the implicit '. The designer used regular geometric forms and combined semi-shielding material to softly separate the exhibits from the'visible' and the 'hidden', giving each exhibits a space for in-depth viewing; to bring the audience a fluid and rhythmic exhibition experience.
The entire exhibition area is composed of a centralized booth named 'NEW OBJECTOR' and scattered booth called 'YOUNG BRAND'.
Although they are called 'NEW OBJECTOR', the exhibits on display are from designers, craftsmen and artists who have been deeply involved in their respective fields. This includes the full series of ONE PIECE works by the famous Dutch designer Aldo Bakker, as well as the first release of his and domestic design brand Wow design's cooperation artwork-- CHA SET; Chen Min Office's modern modeling language to traditional lacquer-ware IDENTICAL; Japanese craftsmen Takeshi Yasuda who has been shortlisted for 'LOEWE International Crafts Award' with Chen Min presented to us his QINGBAI GLAZE SHINOGI COLLODIAL GOLD BOWL and LONG PLATE; THE LARGE TEA BOWL from THE TRANSFORMATION SERIES of Dong Quanbin, a master craftsmen who was born in Jingdezhen but devoted himself into porcelain creation.
