CineVegas goes down the rabbit hole


CineVegas will show a site-specific work by Takashi Murakami for one night only, June 16, at the Wynn Las Vegas. 

Called "Planting the Seeds" it'll fit right in among the boozing collegiates and oxygen-toting slot players.  Murakami's work is a fantastic swirl of hard color and character, accented with a unique kind of surreal horror.  The short film preemed at LA's MoCA.

"Planting the Seeds is my first animated work, and is a short episode that I made as part of a full-length animated film.   It is a short piece, but is the result of 3 years in my animation studio in Tokyo.  For me, animation is one of the important elements in my next stage as an artist," stated Murakami.
