Intersection of Japanese art, architecture at Tehran’s Silk Road exhibition
The ‘Art and the Space in Between; Iran-Japan’ exhibition, running from January 7 to February 7 at the Kamalolmolk Gallery in Tehran, showcases the works of prominent Japanese artists, including three Pritzker Prize winners. Organized by the University of Tehran’s Faculty of Architecture and supported by the Japanese Embassy, the exhibition features the intricate concepts of space and time—encapsulated in the Japanese term “Ma”—while celebrating the artistic legacy of Arata Isozaki and fostering intercultural dialogue along the historic Silk Road.
The exhibition features a collection of installations focusing on space, thresholds, and comparative studies of the Silk Road. The exhibition, subtitled ‘Journey Along the Silk Road,’ features key concepts of Japanese art and aims to enhance intercultural studies, facilitating the exchange of ideas and artistic expressions along the Silk Road. It includes works from three acclaimed Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architects: Arata Isozaki, Shigeru Ban, and Ryue Nishizawa.
