Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The exhibition "Escher x #nendo | Between Two Worlds" will open to the public on December 2nd at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) in Melbourne, Australia's oldest and most visited museum.

 

This collaborative exhibition follows the previous Andy Warhol x Ai Weiwei collaboration held at the museum in 2015. "Escher x #nendo | Between Two Worlds" will show over 150 works by renowned Dutch artist MC. Escher, famous for his optical illusions and impossible realities. Commissioned by the NGV, #nendo was invited to collaborate and respond to Escher's prints to create new work and exhibition #design.


Inspired by Escher's process and themes, the exhibition spans across nine areas, each displays Escher's artworks alongside #nendo spatial installations. Birds, fish, insects, and other icons that frequently appear in Escher's prints have inspired the exhibition motif - the simple shape of a house, that will accompany the visitors, shifting scales and materials and creating an exhibition experience that transcends traditional gallery displays.

 

The research and #design process around the exhibition has brought about the creation of a new object collection that will be displayed in the show. What started as paper mockups and tests has evolved into 11 three-dimensional objects made from black and white painted metal. House for Escher is a collection commemorates nendo's response to Escher's art and is a tribute to a memorable collaboration.
