This time, we have specially invited him to our museum to create an original mini calendar (planner) for next year by cutting and pasting (collage) rare materials such as old magazines and newspapers from France.
It's also a rare opportunity to interact with the artists.

Matthew Rose: Weekend Plans
REPORT
Here we will give you a brief overview of the workshop.
"Find an image you like among old paper. Then cut it into small pieces with scissors or by hand and combine it with other images to create completely different new creatures and worlds." "Shred it, cut it up and scatter it around!"
Participants received instruction in collage from Matthew Rose himself.
We cut up and pasted together old magazines and encyclopedias that Matthew had sent to Karuizawa from France in advance for the workshop.
Since it was a calendar for 2020, we had to make collages for each month, which meant quite a lot of work, but everyone was engrossed in the creation of the materials, which were all lovely and nostalgic.
At the end, everyone had a satisfied smile on their face, and Matthew had a smile on his face too. Thank you to everyone who participated and to Matthew!
Matthew's solo exhibition "Weekend Plans" is currently being held in the 1st floor gallery until January 13th next year.
Do not miss it!
The museum will also be holding its annual New Year's workshop from Friday, January 1rd to Sunday, January 3th next year.
Please feel free to drop by. We look forward to seeing you.
