“芸[Gei]: The Beauty of Ephemeral and Eternal” invites viewers to explore the captivating duality between the beauty of Ikebana – traditional Japanese flower arrangement – and the eternal nature of well crafted objects. Four artists engage with members of Sogetsu Ikebana Pittsburgh, sparking contemplation of time, materiality, and heritage. This dialogue illuminates profound connections in Japanese culture that are woven throughout these art forms, harmonizing impermanence and eternity in Japan’s cultural tapestry - bridging past, present, and future. Featured artists include Tadao Arimoto, Carol Kumata, Miwa Neishi,, and Yoko Sekino- Bové.
