Exhibitions, Italy, Genoa, Genova, 10 January 2013
Between January 10th-31th 2013 Mu.MA Galata Museo del Mare (Museum of the Sea), in Genova, is home to a group show titled “La Grande Onda. Omaggio ad Hokusai (The Big Wave. Homage to Hokusai)”, curated by Adelinda Allegretti. The group show is open to Italian and foreign artists working with different medias (painting, photo, computer graphics, engraving, sculpture, ceramics and installation). Artists who don’t know the Museum can look at the 3 different publications under "Catalogue", in this page, to find photographs, description, collection, etc..
As the title suggests the show is dedicated to the masterpiece of the Master of Edo; artists will take inspiration on it, creating original artworks that reinterpret the famous printing and all that it still evokes, expressing concepts related to it, such as the unstoppable force of nature, the sea at the same time as giving life (as water), but also giving death (the drama of storms).
The exhibition is part of a curatorial project designed to accompany the first solo exhibition in Italy by Ryuhei Matsuo, young Japanese artist, whose show will be held at the Museoteatro della Commenda di Prè, medieval building which is also managed by Mu.MA.
