waiting for a cup of tea / a scene with tea by Keiko Sato


[waiting for a cup of tea.] is the contemporary art project in four seasons, located in the Japanese tea garden. The chosen Japanese artists started their career in Europe and live in the Netherlands and Germany. The theme of the project raises the issue of identity as well as transitions of how their cultural backgrounds and their experiences of living in Europe influence their art practices. And the project asks each artist to create a site specific work. The final exhibition, “a scene with tea” by Keiko Sato, is exhibited in the garden in spring.
