10th ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION


The 53 Origins


'95 Dec.5-'96 Jan.31

GALLERY MA, which takes its name from the uniquely Japanese concept of the "interval" as used in the words for "people,""time," and "space," has created a series of moving dramas of exchange over its ten year history. The architects and designers that GALLERY MA has featured have pursued their work aggressively, maintaining a keen awareness of the demands of their age without ever sacrificing their integrity to momentary trends.
They have firmly carved their own trajectories into the contemporary scene and three successes have grown out of solid foundation of creative originality.
At GALLERY MA we believe that it is this originality which lies at the base of every aspect of architecture and design in all their multi-dimensional elaborations, and it is our mission to provide a showplace for it.
For our 10th Anniversary Exhibition we have chosen the theme of "Creative Origins." In this exhibition we have asked each of the architects and designers whose work we have exhibited in the past to choose those works which they consider their "original works" and which best express their current position to be exhibited on a single stage.
The "original works" of each exhibitor assembled here are entirely personal. At the same time, both individually and in the aggregate, they resonate with the contemporary moment even as they create a magnetic field whose meanings transcend that moment.
We look forward to the emergence of even further meanings from the new resonances of sympathy and understanding which that magnetic field will evoke in everyone who visits the exhibition.
