"Somewhere, beyond good and evil, there is a garden. I will meet you in it."
Djalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi

Macoto Murayama will present his works from the series titled "Botech Composition" (prints and video installation) in the exhibition "Heaven and Hell" organized by Boghossian Foundation, on view at the Villa Empain (Brussells). The show will broach the theme of flying machines and carpets from different angles: the symbolism of old carpets and the symbolism of the geometry of the gardens inspiring it, the age-old dream of flying and imaginary flying objects, the world seen from the sky, the occupation of space by satellites, and the worldwide development of drones and its consequences.

We are delighted to announce Frantic collaboration with American musician C.Love who created a commissioned piece for the presentation of the video work by Murayama. We will bring the result of their collaboration to the public view in WEB later this month and will announce the dates and links in further newsletters.
