Mimesis Museum en Paju Book City. Corea del Sur

Abstract

[EN] here once was a chinese emperor who liked cats a lot, and one day he called upon the most famous painter in the Empire and asked him to paint him a cat. The artist liked the idea and promised that he would work on it. A year passed and the Emperor remembered that the painter still had not given him the painting of the cat. He called him: What of the cat? It is nearly ready, answered the artist.

[ES] El proyecto para el Museo Mimesis, sitiado en el nuevo pueblo de Paju Book City en Corea del Sur, es un gato. El cliente no tuvo que esperar durante siete años para recibir su dibujo, pero Álvaro Siza ha estado dibujando gatos durante siete años. Nunca ha visto un gato coreano porque nunca ha estado allí.
