‘One World’: Japanese art benefit exhibition

16 de June de 202208:00h

Under the premise “culture is healing”, the charity exhibition of Japanese art ‘One World’ opens tomorrow, Friday 17 June, in the 1902 space of the Art Nouveau Site. This Qualiart initiative promotes the international visibility of contemporary Japanese art.

The exhibition includes 122 works by Japanese artists, featuring a wide range of disciplines such as engraving, watercolour, calligraphy, photography and also images of works that could not be transported to Barcelona from Japan. The profits from the sale of these works will go to the Hospital de Sant Pau and its Research Institute, specifically in research against Covid-19.

Qualiart and the artists in the exhibition continue one of the identifying traditions that characterise the former Hospital de Sant Pau, the great work of Lluís Domènech i Montaner, who stated that beauty cures. One World’ aims to demonstrate this impact of art on illness, exhibiting these works and bringing art and beauty to the public in a space that was conceived under this premise.

The exhibition can be visited free of charge from Friday 17 to Monday 20 June. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Friday to Sunday, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday.
