Matadero Madrid once more joins in the celebrations to mark Dual-Year Spain-Japan 2013/2014 through this exhibition project from Esther Pizarro curated by Menene Gras Balaguer.
A Japanese garden is a space that encourages contemplation by imitating nature, which it attempts to reproduce in miniature, while sharing aesthetic codes through the use of calligraphy, art and tradition. All the components that make up a Japanese garden include a symbolism and a set of rules that tell us about the meaning of their arrangement, as if they were part of a graphic script with a defined cultural identity. This project produced by Matadero Madrid and Casa Asia delimits the space of the garden over the territorial layout occupied by the country. It is a dry garden surrounded by a sea of salt in which regions have become islands through the creation of paths that run between them, allowing visitors to walk among them as if they were inside a living organism and admire the image of Mother Nature depicted on each representation.
You can visit this unique installation by going along to Nave 16 at Matadero Madrid as from 31 January 2014.
