Dear Art lovers,

The Karin Weber Gallery is pleased to invite you to the opening of
Adding Perspective, a collaboration by Japanese artists VIWA and
Tomoaki Tarutani 7pm -9pm, 25th May 2011.

In the wake of the Japan earthquake and tsunami the world was in awe
of the Japanese. Many said it was the root values of politeness and
service to the greater good of society in their culture and national
identity that helped them face such adversity with such resolve and
order. And while these community
values do exist, Japan is not simply about the group; the country is
as much about the individual as it is the collective. A brief walk
down the streets of Harajuku or Shibuya confirms this as you're
brought face to face with the colorful characters of those
trend-setting districts. Though unintended, it feels rather timely
that this May and June we're showing the works of artists VIWA and
Tomoaki Tarutani who represent this duality in modern Japanese
culture. In Adding Dimension, they come together to see what happens
when the two psyches and views of history collide, just as is
happening in modern day Japan.

Please refer to the attached press release for more detail about the
exhibition,
artists and their works.

Hope to see you there!

Best always,

Christy Choi
