Calendar of Events: May 2010

seriko wantanabe, Zeughaus, Augsburg, germany

Information on Eriko Wantanabe

"ERIKO WATANABE'S art exhibition in Augsburg, Germany, is coming up.

 

The organizers have a small opening ceremony planned on May 6, and her pictures will be displayed at Zeughaus in central Augsburg until the end of June. She will have paintings and drawings, texts to go with the pictures, some acryl paintings, and some decorations (such as origami pieces) etc. etc. - a lot of work indeed for a small exhibition with only 5 showcases!

 

This is a rare opportunity to examine Watanabe's remarkable talents. For further information see my [John Kennedy's] paper in PERCEPTION on Watanabe, 2010."
