Art performance at Tadao Ando's concrete MPavilion features grayscale gelato
An exciting and tasty art performance has taken shape at the Tadao Ando-designed MPavilion in Melbourne, Australia. It comes in the form of grayscale gelato, created by Brazilian artist João Loureiro in collaboration with local creamery Piccolina Gelateria.
