The exhibition entitled "Cartier Time Art" will be held at Bellerive Museum, Ein Haus des Museum für Gestaltung Zürich from August 26th, 2011.

This exhibition is to be art directed by Tokujin Yoshioka, who participated as a director in an exhibition of Cartier Collection in 2009 "Story of..." - Memory of Cartier creations at Tokyo National Museum, Hyoukeikan Gallery.

"Cartier Time Art" is an exceptional exhibition that will take visitors on a journey to the heart of Cartier watchmaking. The exhibition unites the largest number of Cartier timepieces ever displayed in public, from its origins through to the present day, and offers a rare opportunity to contemplate Cartier's creativity.

In this exhibition, Tokujin intends to highlight Cartier's unique beauty by merging two key essential elements of Cartier's watchmaking; its tradition of the history, and the avant-garde ideas for the future.

Tokujin will be presenting a model of his new architecture project "KOU-AN-Glass Teahouse" and an optical glass bench "Water block" at Glasstress 2011, held during the 54th La Biennale di Venezzia, scheduled from June 4th to November 27th.

The project of "KOU-AN-Glass Teahouse" originates in the architecture plan of the Transparent Japanese House, first presented in 2002. The idea has been developed into a transparent teahouse, an architecture project incorporating a symbolic Japanese cultural image. While the completed full-scale work is scheduled to be realized in 2013, the model of the tea house in 1/10 scale will be presented this year at Glasstress 2011.
