This took place to mark the 50th anniversary of the CoBrA group, and it became a meeting between the Japanese and the Nordic, between Tajiri and the art of Carl-Henning Pedersen and Else Alfelt from the years 1948-51.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe catalogue quotes Else Alfelt, who in 1964 wrote about painting \"the mountain – the sea – space – and nothing of that.\" Like Else Alfelt, Tajiri draws inspiration in his knot sculptures from Zen culture's ideas of nothingness and the freedom of the self. The knots are empty meditative works, intended to encourage the viewer to fill them with meaning and thereby lead to greater self-knowledge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDanish-English text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CHPEA Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56443673018754,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9989\/5682\/files\/CHP---Butikken---086.jpg?v=1772722045","url":"https:\/\/shop.chpeamuseum.dk\/en\/products\/dialogue-tajiri-pedersen-alfelt","provider":"CHPEA Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
