Garage gives away Takashi Murakami show tickets

Date

14 JULY 2017

Those attending J-FEST Summer 2017 festival of Japanese culture in Gorky Park will be welcomed with a gift from Garage.

Japanese culture festival J-FEST Summer 2017 will be held on July 15 and 16, 2017 in a new open-air format at Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Gorky Park. Visitors of all ages will get a unique opportunity to dive into the world of Japanese traditional culture.

J-FEST is an authentic experience of traditional Japanese festivals atmosphere and gives visitors a chance to discover the art of ikebana, bonsai, and calligraphy, try the traditional games Go and Shogi, become acquainted with Japanese cuisine, buy original gifts, watch Japanese films, attend lectures on Japanese culture, and engage in lots of other activities.

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art has prepared a gift for all attending J-FEST Summer 2017. On both days, coupons will be given away with any purchase at the design market and food court. Upon showing this coupon at the Museum reception, visitors can get the second ticket to the first Russian show of Japanese superstar artist Takashi Murakami Under the Radiation Falls that opens in Garage on September 29.

The exhibition at Garage Museum of Contemporary Art is the first major survey of Takashi Murakami's work in Russia and will span several periods of the artist’s career from the mid-1990s to now. Presenting his work in the broader context of Japanese culture for the first time, the exhibition pays homage to Murakami’s long-term project to creatively unite and question Eastern and Western traditions.

As well as paintings, drawings, and films by Murakami from public and private collections, the exhibition will feature eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japanese engravings and paintings from the collections of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. Developed in close collaboration with the artist, the project—which includes a number of new works—transforms the Museum into a Murakami universe.


*The offer valid from September 29 to December 31, 2017. To get the second free ticket to Takashi Murakami Under the Radiation Falls show, visitors need to buy one ticket and show this coupon at the Museum reception. Offer not valid for discounted tickets. Tickets may be purchased at the Museum. The number of coupons is limited.
