TIF turns into a gigantic art space!
The rich diversity of "Tokyo Art Jungle"
As mentioned in the "REVIEW" section, an event called Tokyo Art Jungle was held from August 13th to 15th to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the Tokyo International Forum. The various event venues, including Hall A, the Reception Hall, the Audiovisual Hall, Hall D, the Exhibition Hall and the Plaza, hosted live performances, exhibitions of works, and other features by artists of the coming generation. The event thrilled the many visitors, a good number of whom were young people. For three days, the Tokyo International Forum provided a canvas on which a rich diversity of artistic endeavor was spread. The abiding image is that of visitors gasping in delight as they enjoyed a succession of amazing artworks and sublime artistic projects.
