This time, after the <a href=\"https:\/\/redheadwithabrain.ch\/index.php\/2025\/01\/02\/georgia-okeeffe-henry-moore-museum-of-fine-arts-boston-2024\/\">Georgia O&#8217;Keeffe and Henry Moore exhibition<\/a>, we went through the art of Korea, of Japan, of South and Southeast Asia. We saw the Japanese Buddhist temple, sections with statues and masks with horrible faces and a woodcut print by Gauguin. I was particulatly impressed by a work of art called &#8220;Translated Vase&#8221; by Yeesookyung, a collection of green broken pieces of ceramic reassembled with epoxy and gold in the kintsugi style and without an opening. Amazing. There was an outstanding exhibition called &#8220;Deep\u00a0Waters: Four Artists and the Sea&#8221;, only four artworks but one of them was a video by John Akomfrah called &#8220;Vertigo Sea&#8221;, subtitled &#8220;Oblique Tales on the Aquatic Sublime&#8221;, created in 2015. It questions the relationship between the sea, as an entity with creatures that humanity is destroying, and as a means that supported slavery. Three screens with different images, very similar to was presented at the <a href=\"https:\/\/redheadwithabrain.ch\/index.php\/2024\/09\/21\/giardini-stranieri-ovunque-biennale-darte-venezia-2024\/\">Biennale in Venice<\/a> last year.
