Yoshitatsu Yanagihara is one of Japan’s best known living artists, celebrated mainly for his impressionistic sculptures, that somehow convey both the beauty and the ungainliness of the human form. Over 80 of these works are on display here, along with around 50 drawings. The exhibition aims to trace the artist’s development over a lifetime that now spans 90 years. It’s almost a modern art history course in itself.

The focus of this exhibition is cities on the web. 42 cities from around the world are on display, each with its own page on one mother website. The brainchild of Brazilian designer, Jair de Souza, the show gives the viewer fresh aesthetic and technical insight into the world’s great cities through the internet. The emphasis is on images and design, although some practical information is also available.
