BEPPU, Japan<\/span><\/span>, March 18, 2024<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — <\/p>\n

– Aiming to Create 8 Artworks over 4-year Period –<\/p>\n

The "Mixed Bathing World Executive Committee" based in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture, southeastern Japan<\/span>, is installing four new artworks by March 2024<\/span> in "ALERNATIVE-STATE," an art project that started in 2022 to enhance the city’s brand loyalty. Installing art pieces throughout the city, ALTERNATIVE-STATE invites artists from all over the world, from virtuosos to the up-and-coming, to participate in its goal of installing eight works of art in a four-year period.<\/p>\n

As one of the world’s leading hot spring resorts, Beppu not only boasts a unique culture centered around hot spas, and with them the evocative image of steam rising mysteriously from the earth, but also is proving itself a hub in the art world, with both local and overseas artistic endeavors gaining steady attention. The combination of these two points of appeal — natural hot springs and the world of art — makes Beppu a truly unique travel destination.<\/p>\n

A colorful piece that jumps into view as visitors exit Beppu Station. This mural, which decorates the walls of the long-established cinema Bluebird Kaikan, was inspired by the patterns found on a Japanese "yukata" (light-weight, cotton kimono).<\/p>\n

This botanical garden-type artwork will be completed in March 2024<\/span> in the Kannawa district — known for its abundant steam towers rising from the earth. Plants brought in by local residents will be grown inside the artwork.<\/p>\n

This work by Tom Fruin<\/span> (born in Los Angeles<\/span>) uses a water tower as its motif. The stained glass-like sections are made from recycled acrylic waste collected in the area. The lights are switched on from sunset until 11 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

Installed upon the roof of the Amanek Hotel, this artwork features rainbow-colored feathers gradually emerging as the sun sets. The colors fade and reappear in sync with the rhythm of the artist’s own breathing.<\/p>\n

About Beppu City, Oita Prefecture<\/p>\n

Beppu is home to a number of additional art spots dotted throughout the town. What’s more, every autumn Beppu not only hosts Art Fair Beppu<\/span>, where visitors have the chance to meet up-and-coming artists, but also Beppu Art Month — a cultural art festival that takes place all over the city. A truly unique combination of hot springs and art, no trip to Kyushu would be complete without a visit to Beppu.<\/p>\n
