Hara Museum will hold a four-day event of music, videos and performance called “Blank Museum” that will take place during the empty time between exhibits. Almost never has there been an event in the galleries or while the museum is closed. All museum’s spaces will become a stage for live performances and movie screening: the cafe, the lawn of the sculpture garden, the galleries, the corridors, the rooftop…..Guests will move freely within the museum and outside as they go from one venue to another. Come and enjoy an interesting line-up of performers during the four days when the Hara Museum literally becomes the BLANK MUSEUM.

Dates: August 26 (Thurs.) – 29 (Sun.), 2010
Place: Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, 4-7-25, Kitashinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo
