Overview
Want to spend your summer in the cool aircon of an art gallery? The Art Gallery of NSW's blockbuster exhibition, Japan Supernatural: 1700s to now, is a pretty good place to while away the holidays (and humidity). The tenth Sydney International Art Series, it's an exploration of the spirit world in Japanese art, made up of more than 180 works from all over the planet. And, to celebrate this massive showcase of legendary Japanese art, we're giving away ten double passes.
Leading the show is a monumental piece by Tokyo-born (and international rockstar) Takashi Murakami, who's renowned for bringing together fine art and popular culture — much like Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst and Andy Warhol. Look out, too, for works by historical artists Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi and Kawanabe Kyosai, as well as contemporary pop artist Chiho Aoshima and photographer Miwa Yanagi. So, expect an immersive experience involving paintings, sculpture, prints, film, animation, comics and games.
The exhibition is running until March next year. So, should you get your hands on this prize, you've got plenty of time to make your way to the gallery.
