Pola Museum Annex (Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo) is proud to announce that it will hold an exhibition and charity auction, “Plastic Revives,” from November 10 (Fri.) to December 3 (Sun.), 2023.
Thanks to all the warm and generous support we received for our past three charity auctions, we were able to raise more than a total of 52 million yen (52,059,115yen) for various organizations, according to the main purpose of each year’s auction. For our upcoming fourth charity auction, we are launching a new initiative. We have commissioned artists to create works of art using plastic recycled from the containers of cosmetic products of Pola Orbis Group brands. Given the growing importance of resource recycling over recent years, we felt inspired to organize this event as an attempt to combine our strengths in art and in research and development, with the aim of expanding knowledge and awareness about the use of recycled materials and helping to shape a more recycling-oriented society.
A total of 19 artists are creating original artworks and drawings on the theme of “revival.” All the works will be exhibited at Pola Museum Annex and offered for sale on line, through a silent auction* and lottery. Related merchandise will also be available for purchase.
For this project, the artists have worked together with a research team from Pola Chemical Industries to create works that take full advantage of the characteristics of the recycled materials. Their collaboration has produced materials with a rich variety of expressiveness (it is hard to believe that some of them are really plastic), and generated a wide range of ideas. Their work has also focused on the a pplication of recycled plastics to address the shortage of wood as a canvas support material. Don ’t miss this opportunity to see how these artists have
breathed new life into plastics to create compelling works of art: “Plastic Revives.”
All proceeds from the auction, lottery, and related merchandise sales will be donated to the marine conservation activities by an environmental organization in Japan.
*A silent auction is an auction without direct competition, in which all bids are privately submitted dur ing a set time period. The highest bid at the end of the period wins the auction.
