From Koyasan to Borobudur Jan 16-Feb 28, 2016
A TWO-MAN exhibition by Indonesian artist Nasirun and Japanese artist Tanada Koji, From Koyasan to Borobudur is a dialogue between the two artists about their profound spiritual experiences. The idea of this exhibition began with Nasirun's visit to the sacred mountain Koyasan (Mount Koya) in Japan.
His spiritual awakening after that visit was similarly experienced by Tanada Koji when he visited the Buddhist temple Borobudur in Indonesia. In this exhibition, Koji will be using the ancient traditional wood carving technique of ichiboku-zukuri in his sculptures, while Nasirun will communicate to his audience through the use of visual language derived from Javanese traditional shadow puppetry, also known as wayang.
