Tokyo, Apr 21 (EFE).- Works of 16 veteran artists aged between 71-105 are on display in Tokyo to inspire driving forces to continue amid challenges brought by the coronavirus pandemic.
“Another Energy: Power to Continue Challenging,” includes around 130 artworks of paintings, sculptures, and installations.
Some of the art pieces are half a century old and some were created just for the Tokyo exhibition thrown open for the media Wednesday, a day ahead of its inauguration.
The oldest participant, Carmen Herrera, 105, is a Cuban-American visual artist and painter.
Her geometry-inspired paintings and sculptures harmoniously share space with the tri-dimensional and minimalist work made of rope and nails by Japanese artist Kazuko Miyamoto (79).
Opening date to be announced
Over the past few decades, many of Moscow’s 70-plus billionaires have gone abroad to establish art enterprises. Leonid Mikhelson is turning that tide with the opening, a stone’s throw from the Kremlin, of GES-2, a second home for his Venice-based V-A-C Foundation.
The architect Renzo Piano has spent five years transforming a disused 20,000-square-metre power station into V-A-C’s new artistic hub, with gallery spaces and a 420-seat, glass-fronted playhouse as well as a library, learning centre, residency block and restaurant. A former vodka warehouse nearby will become a centre of ‘experimentation and cultural production’ for the local creative community.
