Nice indoor / outdoor museum space on yet another sunny spring day. The "pool" below is one of the installations, where people on the floor below are viewed through water floating on glass.
Favorite thing was a special exhibition called "The Pen" which showcased hundreds of works by Manabu Ikeda. The highlight was a massive (10x13) just-finished work called Rebirth. Click the link to see a bit more. This is art you really have to see as they are all pen and ink and the enormous pictures are made up of very small elements all done with a 1mm quill style. It takes him hours to do a 4x4 area. You could stare at one of his large drawings for days and keep discovering new things.
Take a look at the link and see the short video as well. He was artist in residence at the Chazen Museum of Art in Madison WI when he created this piece. http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2016/11/rebirth-manabu-ikeda/
It's interesting to find an artist's work and think, "wow, I've never really seen anything like this" and his work certainly qualified in that category.
