Shutdown Notice for Retail Store and Café
The much-anticipated exhibition, BAKERU: Transforming Spirits, is set to make its world debut on July 17, 2019. This art show, created by WOW, Japan's preeminent creative art and design studio, promises to offer a unique and immersive experience, delving into themes of transformation and spiritual renewal.
The exhibition will extend into the former shop and café spaces, but not into the areas currently undergoing remodeling. Sadly, the 2nd floor space, including the gallery and shop, will be closed during this period.
While direct information about the exhibition or its creator is scarce, its thematic context suggests a focus on art's role in imagination, creation, transformation, and the exploration of spiritual or cultural motifs. The artistic milieu seems reminiscent of exhibitions like the Akumal Arts Festival, which emphasises identity, sustainability, and spiritual connections through art.
BAKERU: Transforming Spirits is designed to appeal to younger, digital-native generations, making it an exciting opportunity for audiences beyond the local region to gain broader access to Japanese culture. The exhibition is interactive, inviting visitors to step into a supernatural world of Japanese folk traditions.
Visitors will be equipped with special masks to experience transformation firsthand. However, the specifics of these masks and the overall experience remain a tantalising mystery, with the details set to be revealed in the July Newsletter.
In addition to BAKERU, the contemporary ceramic exhibition, KESHIKI: The Landscape Within, is set to conclude on June 20, 2019. Meanwhile, the website in Los Angeles is scheduled for remodeling from June 21 to July 16, 2019.
Exciting plans are underway for BAKERU: Transforming Spirits, but no associated exhibitions, events, or future projects have been detailed as yet. For the most precise and current details, consulting the hosting gallery or official exhibition materials is advised.
