Exhibition
The overall theme of the exhibition is ‘Orange Mandala’. Together with contemporary artists, the exhibition explores the junction between oranges, which have not been talked about much, and other fields such as art, mythology, philosophy, anthropology, botany and design, to create a new collective knowledge (mandala) with a cosmic scope, such as that found in Kumano by the leading philosopher, Minakata Kumagusu.Each exhibition venue will have an exhibition theme and curated artworks. In addition to new works by various artists, works by leading Asian artists from the collection of the AURA Contemporary Art Foundation will also be invited.
