Gallery Katve, Rovaniemi, Finland1.-25.9.2008
As a craft group from North Finland, mainoa DESIGN, we organized exhibitions in Finland and Japan during autumn - winter 2008. This exhibition in Rovaniemi was divided to 2 parts. One is a show of installation using our craft products (wool felt, wood, porcelain) and natural materials from Lappish nature - flowers, plants and movies of landscape. The other was a design show of mainoa DESIGN and exhibitors' profiles.
This exhibition in Gallery Katve was experimental : we challenged to make installation by composing movies, natural materials and crafted products, interacting between designers and artist from two countries - Japan and Finland. My friends, COCA-Z, a garden designer and a botanical artist, and Saiko Yoshida, a media artist were invited to Rovaniemi to cooperate with us.
The exhibition building was very demanding both mentally and physically... that brought me discouragements of myself, as well as satisfaction. A lot of thanks for visitors and people who helped us!
