A cross-generational and cross-cultural dialog
It is our pleasure to present Mr. Fumio Nanjo, Director of Mori Art Museum who is considered as a leader of Japanese art world, and Daniil Frants, genius young programmer who has been active through countries such as the U.S., Russia and Germany. Through the very special encounter of the two from quite different age groups, backgrounds and environments where they grew up, we are wondering “In what color will the ‘arts’ shine?“
It will be no doubt a great occasion to witness the exciting art critiques beyond the generations and cultures.
