void+ proudly announces the exhibition of “Frozen Flowers” by flower artist Makoto Azuma. Arranged flowers are sprayed with water mist and literally frozen in a freezer to cut off the flowers from the natural aging process. In a man-made environment with a temperature of -8℃, the flowers slowly wilt and morph into "the living dead." You are cordially invited to experience this entirely new world of flowers as presented by Azuma.

Data: Aug. 7th(Sat) – August 15th (Sun) 2pm – 7pm; Aug. 15th will be closing at 6pm

Regreen Arts! 2009 is being held as part of the Regreen Project, which was born out of the concept of "wanting to combine at a comfortable distance urban life and a rich natural environment." Regreen Arts! grew out of a single building in Mizukuchi, Yamanashi city, with the aim of giving root to a new culture in which "art" and "nature," and "cities" and "local communities" are in harmony. It consists of a "slow art project" and a "summer-camp residence" , and various other programs will also be on offer, including a series of video art screenings, and work shops by artists and other expertise, all of which are designed to enable participants to experience communing with and thinking about nature through creating. Arts! involves not only viewing but also action on the part of the audience.
