Colorless Spectrum

Thank you all for visiting Colorless Spectrum on Jan. 30th! Space Gallery was packed with almost 300 visitors, bringing good vibes to the special reception party night.



At the door, we distributed 'omikuji':
"Omikuji are sacred bits of paper that can be obtained at Shinto Shrines and Buddhist temples in exchange for the lucky bagel-shaped five yen coin. Selected at random, the receiver will discover a fortune about how lucky the coming year will be. From romance to education, business to health, a glimpse into your possible future can be found within this Omikuji."
We were hoping everyone experienced this Japanese custom at our show - getting omikuji is one of the 'must-do' things done around New Year's day.


How was your fortune? Some lucky ones won SIR T-shirts for free! I wish that was me...

DJ 8 Doors


Live Painting was started around 9:30pm. People surrounded the canvas, waiting to see what was gonna happen.


Aoi writes "Colorless Specrtum" on the canvas:
before the show, we cut the canvas into several pieces, painted them in various colors, and stapled all on the floor.


Noa- draws abstruct lines that flows like a galaxy:
we detached the canvas from the floor, rearranged and stapled them on the wall, and Noa- drew over Aoi's calligraphy.


Rearraging again-


Lavit Sea draws human figures in each canvas:
Various ethnicities. Both male and female. Different generations. All looking at the center of the canvas...


Did you all receive the message from us? We hope that you enjoyed the performance!


Look at my hands and foot - this is why painting is fun.


Be Colorless.
Be Colorful.
Be United.
See, there's no boundary.


THANK YOU!
