tokujin yoshioka‘s solo exhibition entitled ‘tokujin yoshioka _ spectrum’ will be held in seoul, korea.

as part of his dream project ‘rainbow church,’ and a straw installation for the first time in asia will be shown.

‘the idea of this architecture project ‘rainbow church’ dates back to when I was in my early 20s. when I was in france for a business trip, I went to vence, a commune located near nice. there, I visited the chapelle du rosaire, which henri matisse, a french painter, created in his last years. I was engrossed in the beauty of the light that the chapel created. I experienced a space filled with the light of matisse: being bathed in the sunlight of the provence, the stained glass with matisse’s vibrant colors suffused the room with full of colors. since then, I had been dreaming of designing an architecture where people can feel the light with all senses.’ TY

the architecture project will be realized as a concept plan at the museum.
