Please Support the Volcano Lovers Exhibition

The exhibition “Volcano Lovers – From Iceland and Japan” is a non-profit art exhibition jointly-curated by Birta Guðjónsdóttir from Iceland and Shinya Watanabe from Japan. This exhibition has been made possible by the generous contributions from the exhibition’s committee members and its supporters.

The history of cultural exchange between Iceland and Japan is relatively new. In light of this fact, it is sincerely hoped that the success of Volcano Lovers exhibition will help deepen a mutual understanding among two countries sharing many similarities, and thus encourage greater cultural exchange between them.

Centered upon the critical notion of cultural exchange, this art exhibition features a variety of artworks from two distinct countries bordering the eastern and western perimeters of Eurasia. The ambitious nature of the project has generated significant logistical costs, including transportation and shipping expenses, among others. Currently, the exhibition is preparing for its New York premier and arrangements for its showing in Japan and Iceland are under way. It is at this crucial stage in the exhibition development in which difficulties with raising adequate funds have arisen.

The two curators would like to express their sincere appreciation for the generous consideration of donating to the exhibition, by those who understand and appreciate its mission. Donation amounts begin at $100 USD or its equivalent. Your support is critical to the success of this exhibit, and your charitable gifts are greatly appreciated.
