During the exhibition Thonik will temporarily transform the entire institutes exhibition space. The Spiral cafe will be moved to the present exhibition area. Thonik will design new tables, plates and cups to suit the new location. This temporary eating and drinking area is going to be the installation that Thonik makes especially for the present architecture. Thonik incorporates Japanese food culture into their exhibition. This because Thonik sees this culture and its rituals as an essential basis for Japanese art and design. The other areas (including the present cafe area) will be used to show Thonik’s work up to now. The installation ‘Graphic Tapestries’ which was on show in Shanghai and Venice will also be displayed.
