"An art museum in a wavy forest", a society in the post-epidemic era🔥🔥🔥

📍Address: The National Art Center, Tokyo The art museum was designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa. Its shape was inspired by the mountains and winding coastlines of nature, and its exterior is a water-blue wavy glass curtain wall. From inside the museum, you can see the trees planted outside through the glass curtain wall, making it like an art gallery in the forest. Under the wave-like undulating curtain building exterior, in addition to saving resources such as earthquake resistance and rainwater recycling, it also uses natural light and underground natural ventilation to achieve the purpose of saving resources and coexisting with the environment. It is a veritable "art gallery in the forest." 🔥🔥🔥 In the spacious atrium, there are two giant fair-faced concrete cup-shaped buildings, one high and one low. The excellent lighting and high-ceiling space design allow guests who are tired of shopping to rest, have a meal and drink a cup of coffee here. The filming location of the movie "Your Name" is in the restaurant on the third floor. 😘😍 The museum's logo is the Chinese character "新" made up of many red lines and was designed by the famous designer Kashiwa Sato. The shape of the Chinese characters echoes the building itself, and there are no closed lines, indicating that the art museum will become an open place for various new attempts. All the lines in the logo are right angles on one side and rounded on the other. It is inspired by the architecture of Kisho Kurokawa. The front of the museum building has a wave-like curve, while the exhibition space on the other side is a straight line. The characteristics of the font remind people of the shape of the building. 🏖️😍 The National Art Center, Tokyo is a "non-collection" art venue. The museum itself has no permanent collection, but instead focuses on touring art exhibitions, artist talks and workshops. It was the last day of the "Distant Present" exhibition, which featured works by eight artists and a team from around the world, including Xu Bing. The exhibition explored the state of society and individuals in the post-epidemic era based on the two major themes of "the ever-expanding globalized society" and "the remoteness of the individual." 🥰🤗 Xu Bing made a short film, the source of which was cut from videos taken by various cameras. The artist pieced it together according to a story-like logic, creating relationships between seemingly unrelated people, thereby showing the thinking about the truth in the information age. When all of a person's actions are recorded in a database, the facts can also be distorted due to recording and editing, making it more costly to obtain the truth, while also revealing the deep loneliness of human beings. 😎 Photographer Tina Enhof explores how people in Nordic society, with their strong sense of self-reliance, have become less connected and more lonely. Therefore, "lonely death" has become a social phenomenon. One of the artists filled the exhibition hall with various pictures, simulating a digital world where people are surrounded by images. There are also some artists' works. After looking at the overview and thinking points, I still cannot agree with some of the views. However, modern installation art and multimedia art are mostly more about concepts than substance. If you have an artist or art school that you like very much, you can go and have a look. 🔥🔥 #TokyoNationalArtCity, Tokyo #NationalArtCity, Tokyo #TokyoExhibition #TodayI'mAnExhibitionVisitor #PhotographyAtTheExhibition #Tokyo Attractions
