Mono No Ma Opening at The Gardiner September 6th

Mark your calendars: September 6th is the opening of Mono No Ma at The Gardiner Museum. Featuring the work of An Te Lui, who "is creating a new body of sculptures which explore the spaces around things.  While mono is Japanese for ‘object’, ma is a more elusive term referring to ‘space’ or ‘gap’, but one which is simultaneously aware of form and non-form. 
Drawing inspiration from  artefacts found in the Gardiner's Ancient Americas collection, Liu works with the remains from our contemporary consumer milieu, conjuring new forms borne out of emptiness - entities poised between the familiar and the enigmatic, material and immaterial, thing and no-thing."
Interesting.
The Sept. 6th opening party will cost $50 and the show runs until November 11th.
Cheers,
Vanessa
