LONGSTAY Program 2019｜bi-PARADISE Closing

The event, titled ‘bi-PARADISE Closing’, was the last opportunity for all three members of the artist group ‘bi-‘, who were invited this time under the Long Stay Programme 2019, to get together. In addition to a talk event by bi introducing the experiences of bi-PARADISE in setting up another AIR within PARADISE AIR, each room of PARADISE AIR was opened as an open studio to show the work of William Reynish, Marie Boye, and Timo Herbst who has stayed as the short stay programme and Hitomi who is a supporter of PARADISE AIR. The event was rounded off with a party with Rui Mizuki as DJ. The party was packed with people and the day was lively from start to finish.
