This is a Japanese edition of Explained, translated by Goto Tetsuya, the curator of Graphic West 9: Sulki & Min, Kyoto DDD Gallery, 2021, and published to accompany the show. It presents verbal-only explanations of more than 200 projects from the career of graphic designers Sulki and Min. If a work of art is not to be explained but to be experienced, then this book proposes a reversal of the adage: if we don’t need an explanation to appreciate a work, can we appreciate the explanation without the work?
