Not Since Mummenschanz: Room

room.jpg by The Rinpa Eshidan. “Rinpa” is a word created by the founders of the group meaning “to bring people together, while “Eshidan” essentially means “art crew.” They have several videos of them recording the act of creating art, which they consider to be the creation itself and the videos are meant to engage the audience in the process.

To that end, they have succeeded. I heart the Rinpa Eshidan.
