Hello World!

I finally have the announcement flyer for the exhibition in my hands!

After having weeks of discussion and designing, we decided to do things little bit differently from normal post card flyers.

Pocket sized tissues are commonly used as a way of marketing and advertisement in Japan. If you live in or you’ve been to Japan, you probably have seen people giving away tissues at train stations. We took this idea and applied it to our announcement flyer!

In side of the packet, there are 2 cards. One of them has images of our work and URL to this blog. The other card contains information of the exhibition and introduction of each of us on the back side.

We have started sending them out to people all over the world this week. If you have it in your hand, I hope you enjoy it and let us know what you think! If you don’t have one and would like to have it, contact me at misato@misato.iijima.com and I’ll send it to you!

 

完成したDMが私の手元にやっと届きました!
何週間もの論議やデザインを経て、普通ポストカード状の形式とはちょっと違ったアプローチをしてみました。
日本ではよく広告や宣伝にポケットティッシュが使われます。日本に住んでいる方や日本を訪れた事がある方は駅前などでティッシュ配りをしているのを見た事があるでしょう。そのポケットティッシュの宣伝方法を今回のDMに当てはめてみました。
中には2つのカードが入っています。1つは作品の写真とこのブログのURLを所載。
もう1つは展示会の詳細と4人の紹介文などを載せました。

今週から世界中に向けて発送し始めました。みなさんがこのDMを手元で楽しんでいることを期待しています。コメントや感想もいただけると嬉しいです。DMが欲しい方、こちらにメールをくだされば発送します!misato@misato.iijima.com

We are exhibiting a group show of Japanese contemporary Jewelry at this event.

The four of us met through our interests in contemporary jewelry and a shared common compassion for art. Some of us are based in the U.S, others are in Japan, working on expressing our individual point of views and subject matter. Our first exhibition will take place in Gallery Chez M in Washington DC.

As we were in the process of finalizing the plan for this exhibition, the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred and left a massive impact on the world. Each of us deeply contemplated what we can do as Japanese nationals and also as artists to over come this incident since then. The answer was to channel all of our ability as artists to our creations for rising awareness of Japanese artists.

This is our starting point of exhibiting our work to the world.
I hope to see you at the Gallery Chez M.

exhibition Date: Oct 22nd-Nov 30th
