[Staff Comment]
The Pietà, the Woman Pouring Milk — these pieces bring a sense of intimacy to historic masterpieces of the past. The animals look as though they might spring to life at any moment, leaving a wonderfully endearing impression. (Kawahara)
[Exhibition Information]
art remix
A "remix" refers to re-editing a work, or to the re-edited work itself; here, we invite you to read it as looking at existing works through a fresh perspective. In today's ever-shifting art scene, values too are constantly pressed to update, and revisiting works with a new eye — seeing them through the lens of the present — can reveal unexpected discoveries. We hope you will enjoy how this exhibition resonates with Shibuya's audiences, who keep pulling the "now" forward.
