Japanese-Swiss artist Leiko Ikemura, presents the exceptional large-scale sculpture exhibition AQUÍ ESTAMOS / (HERE WE ARE), from September 30th, 2021 – March 6th, 2022, in the inspiring architectural setting of the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències in Valencia, Spain.
As the title of the exhibition AQUÍ ESTAMOS / (HERE WE ARE) asserts in its simplicity, Leiko Ikemura and her imaginary world have returned to Spain to present her renewed understanding of her own oeuvre.
Six giant public sculptures float above a blue pool of water in public space, an urban architectural landscape created by the architect Santiago Calatrava in front of the panorama of the eye-shaped l’Hemisfèric. Immanent and transcendent, the fantastical figures exude a sense of resilience. Their collective manifestation as bronze sculptures consolidates the artist’s ability to be meaningful and durable, to go beyond essence and travel through times.
Promoted by Leiko Ikemura, La Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències. With the support of Generalitat de València, Ikemura Foundation. Architecture and exhibition design Atelier PhvM (Philipp von Matt, Stefano Tiracchia).
