"BENTO Gento Exhibition – Eating / Collecting · Connecting Design" is held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum from Saturday, July 21, 2018 to October 8 (Monday, congratulation). We participated in the press coverage on July 20th, so we will report on its contents this time!
"The lazy boku" which we normally use is said. What kind of feeling do you always eat?
While talking with friends who always eat buddies together? Or do you imagine the person who made it?
From the parlor bento to the lunch for every day, "lazulth" is deeply rooted in our lives. The lunch boxes that someone made made are "gifts" handed down from people to people and have played an important role since ancient times as a social tool to deepen the connection between people and people.

"Person who makes a lazy birthday" stuffs lunch boxes with ingredients considering nutritional balance and overall color and placement. This is something you can not do without thinking about the person who really eats it. There is a story between the person who eats and the person who makes it. In other words, the laptop is also a communication tool for "eating".
This exhibition is an attempt to grasp "Japan's unique culture" "senpa" from the aspect of communication and design. At the venue, unique playful lunch boxes and contemporary artists' participatory works are exhibited, which makes it a space where you can experience the charm of a lumpy body throughout the body and gain a new viewpoint.
| Can you sing and dance "a laptop"? !
The exhibition starts with a fun new animation work produced by Hiraku Ogura of "Fermentation Designer" <Dinosaur>. Works that make it easy to sing with melancholy patterns of "Yuru" and lyrics, lyrics, choreography, sing and dance to naturally understand dozens of things.
Mr. Ogura who is friendly to the visitors. Mr. Ogura's work is also displayed in the underground gallery
"The feeling you can not say is a hakama taste. Let's stick around, as I thought"
<Literally DAYS> is impressive not only for the young characters, but also the scenery of the rich four seasons and the lyrics that seems simple and deeply understandable. Dance, sing. A new "festival experience" in which a movement using the body opens. Please join us at the venue!

Spacious underground gallery. Works created based on "communication" are displayed

At the underground gallery, a number of artists' works focused on communication produced by Kentaro are exhibited.
In response to a letter from the reader "I want to make such a box lunch to everyone", Mr. Ayumi Oosu made a box lunch and delivers the recipe and lunch to the reader, "Ayumi cafeteria lunch box" actually Displayed photographs taken by Mr. Hirano Hirano produced lunch box.
The work "Hiruzu" by Mr. Saeki Abe copied the figure that various people eat silent lunch silently. "What kind of person made it?" "How do you feel?" Just watching the photos can inspire imagination.

When you open the lunch box, the picture of the junior high school students who participated will flow
Unique "dad's lunch box" by Mr. Toru Oyamada (and girlfriend)
"Truetooth roulette". Who and what will you decide to make a boxed lunch. Once the theme is decided, let's write out the idea of your lunch box
Also introduces exhibits that you can think over about the relationship between you and the surrounding world around yourself starting from the box lunch.
Toru Oyamada 's work is "Oda bento" which the eldest daughter devised a lunch box and draws his daily work that Mr. Oyamada who is his father makes lunch boxes based on the picture. There are also lunch boxes for ideas that I can not think of making very much for adults, and I think it is fun to think that Mr. Oyamada might have faced this "unbeliever" with any feelings. In the corner of the hall, there is also a corner to try roulette to decide the theme and the opponent to give and try to make a boxed lunch.
Mr. Yasuhiro Moriuchi holds a workshop where children will make documentary images of how junior high school students make lunch boxes themselves without borrowing from their parents. The project is displayed as a video work. If you open the lunch box on the table, there is also a unique production that the images of junior high school students who participated in the box flow.
| Rediscover 'Senpa'. Participation experience type "intangible bento"
Participatory exhibition space by Mr. Malega Vogel sang spreading underground. There are ten sections like huts
When you hold "spirit phone" at various places in the hall, the voices of the spirits come to be heard. It is divided for adults and children, so it can be enjoyed with families
Mr. Vogel sang becoming a spirit. I feel like the author himself is most enjoying · · ·
"Bone plants" expected to contribute to the future meat industry
Malaye Vogel sang , an "eating designer" that designs to eat. Her exhibition expresses the aspect of "no touching or viewing" aspect of the veneer as a lively story with the exhibition "intangible bento" and invites us inside.
It is a space where visitors themselves can think carefully and rediscover their lunches through works that capture our familiarized vegetables from a different viewpoint than usual.
Mailai Vogel sang of an eating designer who supervised this exhibition. Originally a Dutch product designer
At the venue, you can listen to the voices of the spirits using "spirit phone". What they speak to is a laptop's "future possibility" such as invisible memories and stories with producers, bioplastic lunchboxes and insect foods.
Bento is not only a gift from the creators to the people who eat it, it may be a gift from you who is living now to you "in the future".
| FRAGMENTS PASSAGE – Today's Alley
The entrance of the Tised Alley. It feels like a bazaar in Southeast Asia
"Altruism" that many people got is lined up in the street. This … helmet?
Workshop using 'Tisuyoshi' gathered at Bazaar
The pleasure of eating someone with a buddy is "side dish exchange". There are many people like that. Mr. Jun Kitazawa paid attention to the element of this "tisuyoshi" and built "Todo no Yokocho" that thinks about the feelings and culture in the museum.
In this street reminiscent of the landscape of the traditional market in Southeast Asia, there is a space where you can freely talk about what you brought. Bring something from the house or spread rugs in the plaza. At a corner of the venue, a workshop using 'Tisuyoshi' gathered at the sideways was also held. There is no air like 'teach' anything to someone there. To the end this is also 'tisuke', so everyone was tackled in an atmosphere that was very free and relaxing.
It can be said that this "Tisuyoku Yokocho" is an exhibition that changes depending on the "Tisuyoku" performed daily. What would you do if you were you? Will you do it?
In the venue, there are also corners to introduce various lunch boxes of the world
In addition to the luncheon box of a beautiful and unique shape used at the party in the Edo period at the venue, various lunch boxes of the world are introduced. Focusing on ingenuity and design for "eating" in our culture, think about communication between people and people that occurs through the act of "eating lunches".
Also, on August 20, "Kids Day" will be held on Monday of the closed holiday. Fun participating programs can be enjoyed relaxedly with parents and children, and music sessions and artists' workshops by collaboration with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra will also be held during the exhibition.
