Tea Ceremony

September 16, 2017–January 7, 2018
Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas

Tom Sachs: Tea Ceremony presents Sachs’s distinctive reworking of the chanoyu, or traditional Japanese tea ceremony—including the myriad elements essential to that intensely ritualistic universe. During the course of the exhibition, the Nasher presented a series of public demonstrations in which Sachs or a colleague performed the tea ceremony for a few guests. The walls of the teahouse were removed for the occasion, enabling visitors to watch the ceremony as it unfolds.
