Join at the opening ceremony of exhibition A world in a grain of sand, featuring the collaboration between artist collective MICA and renown Mosaic brand Bizen, supported by China Art Foundation.
All of the works displayed in this exhibition are made from natural materials such as glass and sandstone, which have been hand-baked and assembled into mosaics. This exhibition begins on a scale as small as a grain of sand or a single mosaic tile. Slowly, subtly, and persistently, it reveals itself, and it invites the audience to take part — to explore themselves, explore nature, and explore the world.
At 3 pm, audience will be invited to complete the participatory artwork with mosaics, an hourglass of time and space, with BIZEN’s on-site guidance. The piece will be covered from top to bottom with a mosaic of glass fragments. Ultimately, after undergoing some post-production work, including reversal and fast-motion, a video will be produced showing a flowing hourglass, with the “sands” made of the image of an inverted crowd. It will manifest the ideas of truth, illusion, speed, time, as well as “a world in a grain of sand.”
Light refreshment will be provided during the opening.
