WHAT CAFE to Hold ART MARKET TENNOZ 2024 from March 8th

The theme for this event is “Look, Hear, Feel, Enjoy, Discover.” It has been well received since its inception in 2021 as an opportunity to directly hear artists’ thoughts on their creations and to get a close look at their creative process. This year, at WHAT CAFE, an art gallery cafe, there will be displays, sales of artworks, art performances, talk shows, and workshops. WHAT CAFE will also feature works by 22 cutting-edge artists, mainly focusing on paintings and three-dimensional works, providing visitors with the opportunity to come across one-of-a-kind pieces found nowhere else in the world and perhaps discover an unawakened love of art within themselves. In addition to these, Avi, an art influencer, will play a role as the special ambassador of the event and will hold gallery tours during this period.

Avi will host “Interactive Gallery Tours” where participants can discuss and appreciate artworks in a group setting. During these tours, participants will explore the artworks individually and then engage in group activities based on worksheets. The goal is to encourage participants to share their insights and perspectives on the artworks, fostering a diverse exchange of ideas and uncovering discoveries along the way.

The title ”Between everywhere” was inspired by Karesansui, the style of Japanese gardening, which originated from Zen philosophy. The artist perceives his body as “the source of wave energy” and treats stones, sand, and mist as “a medium to visualize the trajectory of energy,” drawing sand patterns on stage.

Date: March 16th (Sat) and 17th (Sun) 2:00 PM (each day)
Admission free and no reservation required
