ART AQUARIUM 2019 [Kumamoto] “NIGHT AQUARIUM” CM

Kumamoto “ART AQUARIUM CASTLE” hits 100,000 visitors!
Finally, the total of paying ticket holders reached 10 million! (As of December 22, 2019)
“ART AQUARIUM” is coming to Kumamoto for the first time!
The theme of this winter’s Kumamoto exhibition is “Revival”
Boasting the largest area for an indoor exhibit in our history with works that have never before been exhibited in Kyushu!
“Revival” is the theme for the first “ART AQUARIUM” exhibition in Kumamoto.
The exhibition will be held at a scale never seen before in the ‘Kumamoto-Jo Hall’, which boasts the largest area for an indoor exhibit in our history.
This is the second exhibition to be named “ART AQUARIUM CASTLE” since the “ART AQUARIUM CASTLE ~Kyoto, the Dance of Kingyo~” held at Kyoto's ‘Nijo-jo Castle’ in 2014, 2015 and 2017, and the first with that name to be held indoors.
The exhibition will include works that have never before been exhibited in Kyushu, including “Ceiling Kingyo”.
“Ceiling Kingyo” revives an Edo period (1603-1868) legend of a wealthy merchant who built a glass tank into his ceiling to watch the goldfish from below. The work took five years to design.
We hope to bring you a new vision of “ART AQUARIUM” unlike anything you have experienced before.
Starting at 5:00 PM every night of ART AQUARIUM’s run in Kumamoto, the venue will transform into “NIGHT AQUARIUM”, a laid-back, sophisticated ‘LOUNGE STYLE’ space.
Here, visitors can enjoy a drink as they take in the “ART AQUARIUM” exhibits, backed by ART AQUARIUM’s original soundtrack (except on Saturdays and ‘SPECIAL NIGHTS’).
The ‘SPECIAL NIGHTS’ will feature one-night-only performances from top DJs.
A new DJ will also perform every Saturday night, with sets showcasing the local Kumamoto DJ scene, and noted DJs from each of Kyushu's prefectures taking part in an event entitled ‘Kyushu DJ Summit in Kumamoto’.
“NIGHT AQUARIUM” will be the scene of vibrant and spectacularly entertaining Kumamoto nights.
Drinks will be available at the venue’s ‘KINGYO BAR’.
Offerings will include ART AQUARIUM’s ‘Exclusive Kingyo cocktail’, as well as beer, soft drinks, and more.
January 13th, 2020 (the national holiday Monday and final day of “ART AQUARIUM”) excepted.
