这场名为“Between Two Worlds | Escher X Nendo”的大型展览将展示M.C.Escher在1916至1969年间创作的版画和素描。这些作品将在一个充满几何、空间和感知的环境中展出。
Japanese design studio Nendo will create an immersive environment for more than 160 prints and drawings by Dutch artist M.C. Escher at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne this December.
Called Between Two Worlds | Escher X Nendo, the blockbuster exhibition will present M.C.Escher's prints and drawings, created between 1916 and 1969, inside an environment that plays with geometry, space and perception.

Describing both Oki Sato, founder of Nendo, and Escher as "masters of illusion", the NGV said that the exhibition will intertwine the worlds of both artist and designer in a "masterful and enigmatic visual presentation".
The 160 works by M.C. Escher, who is widely regarded as having created some of the most iconic images of the 20th-century, are drawn from the world's largest collection of Escher's work in the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague.
The exhibition is the first major Australian presentation of the artist's work and will cover the full span of the artist’s career, from 1916 through to his final work produced in 1969.
Nendo meanwhile is no stranger to creating immersive environments. Last year the Tokyo studio scattered over 40,000 shards of polished steel across a Japanese flower-arranging school to create an "ivy of mirrors", and has created numerous imaginative retail environments such as a Tokyo store interior, which was designed to look like "melted ice cream cake".

"What makes this exhibition particularly interesting is that as well as having these incredible 160 works on paper, is that we’ve actually invited a Japanese design team called Nendo to conceive the whole look and feel of the show," said Tony Ellwood, director of the NGV.
"We've never done that before and in fact, Nendo's never done that before. The reason that we paired the two together is because both are really interested in innovation and optical illusion. There's a lot that connects them."
