Venue Via San Domenico, 11 10122 Torino Italia
On May 6th, the second half of Buddha 10 was unveiled at the MAO – Museo d’Arte Orientale di Torino, where the visual evolution of Buddhist art throughout history shall be explored with renewed vigor. The exhibition is a tapestry of collections from various regions, woven together across time in the museum’s collection. The highlight of the exhibition will be Buddhist sculptures from the Chinese collection, which will offer different perspectives and reflections on the museum and its proud collection of Asian Art.
Curated by Davide Quadrio who is renowned for working closely in the East Asian art scene over decades, the exhibition will also feature contemporary art practices, among which Wu Chi-Tsung’s Drawing Studies – MAO Bodhissatva Guanyin is commissioned and collected by the museum. The video installation captures the Buddha statue from the museum’s permanent collection and will debut at the museum’s Japanese garden, creating a timeless symphony of art.
