Yoko Yamano Anderson's second solo exhibition at UNDECORATED, "PICKNICK vol.2," will be held.

The touring exhibition "Glassware and Still Life: Yoko Yamano Anderson and 18 Painters," held as part of a project to create an art book featuring Yamano's works, primarily at Tokyo Opera City, recently concluded with great success.

This exhibition, held for the first time in two years, will feature tableware created since the last exhibition.
Titled "PICKNICK vol.2," it projects the daily life of the artist in Stockholm, Sweden, where she is based. The exhibition is designed to evoke the feeling of spending time with friends in nature surrounded by forests.

A large number of works produced in Stockholm, such as glassware, jugs, plates, and other tableware and objects, reminiscent of a "PICKNICK," will be on display.

 

As a special project this time, a triple collaboration work, "PICKNICK Bag," inspired by picnics, will be announced.

We have commissioned the bag brand "TEMBEA" to create a limited edition canvas bag that includes a glass & bottle holder using Yamano's glass works and "UNDECORATED" original textiles, allowing you to carry glasses and wine bottles.

 

Furthermore, on Saturday, November 23 and Sunday, November 24, the wine shop "lulu" will participate as a caterer, selling natural wine by the glass.

Those who purchase a glass artwork at this exhibition can also enjoy carefully selected natural wines in their new glass.

 

Also, during the exhibition period, items from UNDECORATED's 2024 Fall / Winter Collection will be available for purchase.

Yoko Yamano Anderson

Since 2001, she has studied glassmaking techniques in Småland, southern Sweden, the mecca of the glass industry, as well as in Finland and Venice. In 2004, she moved her base to Stockholm when she enrolled in the Master's program in Ceramics and Glass at Konstfack (University College of Arts, Crafts and Design), and now has her studio in Gustavsberg, where she is active in glass production. In 2011, she was awarded the Culture Prize by the City of Stockholm. In 2014, the Swedish Parliament acquired her works. She presents her works not only in the EU but also in the UK, Serbia, Japan, and other countries, and through her life's work "Glass Tableware in Still Life," she explores the nature of glass tableware from various perspectives.

TEMBEA

"TEMBEA" is a bag brand that started in 2004.
For example, a bag for baguettes, books, or toys. A bag for carrying newspapers, textbooks, or vegetables. They propose bags with specific contents and uses.
The bags are made of canvas fabric, aiming for a manufacturing process that emphasizes their inorganic, rustic, and design-oriented qualities. A characteristic feature is that they soften and adapt to the user's body with use. Bags generally have no compartments or pockets. Instead of the convenience of storing items in designated places, they advocate for "free usability and comfortable freedom" without prescribing anything.
TEMBEA means "to wander." It makes you want to go somewhere when you carry it. They continue to create bags as tools that pursue universal beauty, transcending place and time.
