FARET Tachikawa, Public art installation in Tachikawa, Japan.
The development features 109 artworks created by 92 artists from 36 countries, distributed across a modern shopping district north of Tachikawa Station.
The area transformed from a United States Air Force base, which operated from 1945 to 1977, into an art-filled urban development that opened in 1994.
Nigerian artist Sunday Jack Akpan contributed statues of African tribal chiefs wearing traditional Ibibio funeral garments, connecting Japanese and African artistic traditions.
Visitors can reach the site by taking the JR Chuo Line from Shinjuku Station to Tachikawa Station, with trains running frequently throughout the day.
Robert Rauschenberg created Bicycloid VI, a parking lot sign containing a glass-encased bicycle that illuminates with neon lights during nighttime hours.
