EXHIBITION

Charity Exhibition 2006
Original Folding Fans Designed by 280 Creative Artists

GOOD DESIGN GOOD SENSU

  • DATES : Mon. November 27 - Fri. December 22, 2006

Starting November 27 (Mon), Recruit will host its annual yearend charity exhibition at its two galleries, Creation Gallery G8 and Guardian Garden. This series of exhibitions was launched to let many people experience the enjoyment and pleasure that can be derived from art and design. Every year works created on a noncommercial basis by artists with links to the two galleries, both young designers and artists already active globally, are displayed and offered for sale, and the proceeds are donated to UNICEF Japan.

The theme of the 2006 charity exhibition is folding fans, known in Japanese as “sensu.” As environmental and energy concerns become increasingly important with each passing year, today renewed interest is being shown in the simple folding fan. Many people say, however, that they have difficulty finding fans which suit their taste or which are suited for everyday use. For this charity event, we requested that the participating artists design a folding fan that matches the needs of everyday life – a casual fan for casual settings, a fan that will go perfectly with jeans and a T-shirt. The result is an amazing array of folding fans in designs never conceived before. Visitors are sure to find one that will catch their fancy, adding immense pleasure – and comfort – to the summer season.
