The exhibition Design=Memory presents one of today's most prominent Japanese designers, Akira Minagawa, and his fashion and textile brand Minä perhonen. Founded in 1995 by Akira Minagawa, it has grown over the years into a team of 200 people working closely with local manufacturers and artisans. The exhibition is exploring Akira Minagawa’s and Minä perhonen’s design philosophy from the first ideas to the final products and even beyond: the experiences and memories of the users of the garments and design objects play an important role. The creative process is highlighted alongside clothing, design objects and unique original works. Together, Akira Minagawa and his team look at how design can, and should, make us happier in everyday life.
Harriet Backer (1845–1932) was a pioneer on many levels and the exhibition highlights the innovative qualities of her art, as well as her central position in the Norwegian art scene at the turn of the twentieth century. How did she become such a prominent figure in Norwegian art? Why did a whole generation of young painters, men and women alike, choose to become her pupils and successors? The fifty years of Harriet Backer’s career saw radical changes in Norwegian society and in women’s rights and career opportunities. She established herself as an artist on a cosmopolitan art scene, spending fifteen years abroad. First, she resided in Munich, thereafter in Paris, before returning to her home country as a mature artist.
