nosebleed with art

Last week, I went to the French Embassy to see an exhibition named "No Man's Land". The new French Embassy building was inaugurated next to the old building and the old building will be demolished in the near future. The exhibition is holding the old building until it gets demolished to encurage many people to visit and create an active cultural exchange.



Over 70 artists from France and Japan are exhibiting many kinds of works.The most interesting point of this exhibition was that all works had some kind of relationship with the old French Embassy building. I could see their works was inspired by the old French embassy building.



Claude Leveque`s work named 鼻血(nosebleed) was one of the most interesting works. What he did was only painted a stair hall red like a nose bleed. It looked purely arbitrary like when other artist`s paint as they like without planning.


But from one point, I could see a simple square red. I think, his idea was very simple and very interesting.
