Let's ask four Japanese AGNSW volunteer guides about the Sydney Modern Project. This is the second interview of five.
In the audio, Midori Furze, one of the Japanese volunteer guides at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, talks about the Yiribana gallery and artworks by Kusama Kazuyo (Flowers that Bloom in the Cosmos) and Kimsooja (Archive of mind).
Ms Furze picked two artworks exhibited at the Yiribana gallery - Death Zephyr and Unwritten #9.
Why did she pick these two artworks? What does Yiribana mean? Let's have a listen.

Ms Furze joined AGNSW as a volunteer guide in 2018, when the gallery was preparing for its special exhibition Japan supernatural (2019-2020). Shortly after, the gallery's free Japanese guide tours had to pause due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Japanese guide tours will be back this January. Ms Furze, a contemporary artist herself, and her colleagues are busy preparing for their tours.
