Kenya Hara – wystawa jako nośnik wiedzy
This article describes a fragment of the work of Kenya Hara, a contemporary Japanese designer who focuses on the issue of communication and perceives design as universal wisdom accumulated by society. In the wide range of his projects, a special place is occupied by exhibitions, which he has been involved in since the beginning of his artistic activity. In the article, the author mentions the most important exhibition projects in which Hara combines various threads from the world of design, industry, technology and, above all, science. Most of Hara’s curatorial projects cover various spheres of his activity, from creating concepts, through selecting artists, designing visual identification, writing texts in the catalog, and preparing the visual design of the exhibition. An important aspect of Hara’s exhibition projects is engaging viewers by appealing to memory. Technology has given great opportunities in visuals and audible expression, but he argues that his exhibitions that involve physically going to the venue to experience the exhibits are richer media events, ones that can engage all senses. The most important value of his projects is enabling recipients to discover the unique values of Japanese culture. Each exhibition is a vehicle of knowledge relating to both history and the future and constitutes an important message as part of Hara’s philosophical design concept.
