Minagawa Akira — TSUZUKU Clssical Connection
TSUZUKU Clssical Connection is a joint exhibition of “minä perhonen/ minagawa akira TSUZUKU” Exhibition now showing in Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts (KMFA) .
TSUZUKU (つづくJapanese), has the meaning of continuing. The word represents the concept of continuity of the brand as well as the connotation of connection, linkage, joining hands and circulation, which conjures the image of creative energy generated by interaction of people and things.
This exhibition presents 8 minä perhonen original fabrics that revolve around minä perhonen’s most significant design – tambourine – also one of the thematic contents in TSUZUKU exhibition at KMFA. The design- a circle of 25 small embroidered dots- are special for its natural unevenness that it’s not perfectly aligned -each one to be slightly different with one another- to make a bigger circle. It represents the concept of a peaceful harmony within each unique individual as well as the beauty of imperfections in life.
Entitled “Classic Connection”, this exhibition connotates the timeless but innovative aesthetic behind minä perhonen’s creation. Through this invaluable occasion, this exhibition connects the two venues, and presents the 8 original fabrics which could not be shown at KMFA. The other fabrics displayed here are derivation of tambourine design.By applying the same repeated pattern and evolving into another new concept of design, the brand hopes to present a new sensibility that will continue to be part of everyone’s daily life.
minä perhonen is a brand founded by Japanese designer Akira Minagawa in 1995. The brand name minä means “I” and perhonen means “butterfly” in Finnish language.Minagawa built this brand with a vision and aspiration that this brand would continue at least for 100 years. Through the interplay of design and joy, the brand has led the way to offer a special clothing that lives within everyday life, which will sustain and transcend generations onward.
