In Peak Bloom celebrates both the awe-inspiring beauty of the cherry blossom and its ephemeral nature. Highlights of this year’s exhibition include five installations created by women artists and female-led art collectives. Working with a variety of interactive media, the artists featured in In Peak Bloom bring the cherry blossoms’ symbolism to life in new ways, updating these time-honored concepts for the 21st century while simultaneously paying homage to traditional themes, such the transient nature of life (hakanai) , and artistic genres like Ukiyo-e.
Your phones will also enable you to see digital magic, otherwise invisible to the eye, through augmented reality. For Augmented Reality activations, make sure to download free ARTECHOUSE app from Google Play or iTunes Store before your visit.
Augmented Reality bar operates daily from 11am till closing serving cherry blossom inspired digital AR cocktails and mocktails.
