ADF Art Gallery Project Vol.28 Issho Watanabe Solo Exhibition “Atomic Love -Transience of Life - ”
ADF (NPO Aoyama Design Forum) is pleased to present “Atomic Love - Transience of Life -,” the 28th exhibition of the “ADF Art Gallery Project” by artist Issho Watanabe, which celebrates the preciousness of everyday life, from Sunday 18 August to Friday 30 August 2024. The exhibition will be held from Sunday, 18 to Friday, 30 August 2024. The exhibition will feature works that remind us of the gratitude and preciousness of the everyday life surrounding us. While the storytellers of war experiences are becoming rare as we approach the 80th anniversary of the war, the composition of the exhibition reaffirms the irreplaceability of the ordinary through thinking about the reality of war in the peaceful Japan of 2025. Please pay attention to the message of the artist, who, as an artist and a member of the young generation living in today's peaceful Japan, practices what he can do to "prevent the repetition of mistakes."

Renovation of the Former Residence of Zhang Taiyan by Tsing-Tien Making
"Renovation is not simply about blending into the old. Instead, it involves the fusion of the old and the new to imbue this long-standing house a new language, from design to functionality and the experience it offers to visitors. We hope the story of Zhang Taiyan and his house do not stop in that specific time period but to continue, with the new memory and language, to carry forward."

【ADF Web Magazine】Ready, steady, go: Paris celebrates the beginning of the Olympics with the exhibition En jeu! and a celeb
Art and sports have a rich history of mutual influence, dating back to the ancient Greeks who celebrated athletic achievements through masterpieces like Myron's Discobolus. This connection persisted through the ages, with artists like Velázquez and van Dyck portraying nobility engaged in hunting, and urban structures like Piazza Navona and Mesoamerican ball courts reflecting this bond. The 19th century marked a significant revaluation of sports, epitomized by the revival of the Olympic Games by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, paralleled by a flourishing period in the figurative arts. Impressionists, Expressionists, Cubists, and Futurists celebrated the dynamism of the modern world through their art. Paris, hosting the 2024 Olympics, honors this interplay with an exhibition at the Musée Marmottan Monet. "En jeu ! Les artistes et le sport" features over 160 works, showcasing the visual history of sport from 1870 to 1930, a period of vibrant modernity in both art and athletics.
