My intro is on A Journal!

A/Journal is a Academy of Art University (AAU) alumni free paper and they come out seasonal. I was invited to on the page last year, and now it is out! Winter 2011 edition
They sent it me to Japan, so I upload the part to everyone. You can also download pdf version from the link.

invitation from Berlin

Always when thinking about getting another part-time job, there is some offer. After a show in London, there are offer for one day show in Barcelona Spain. There seems no selection but it costs a rental fee, so I am thinking to give and doing something else, and then next I got an email from a gallery at Berlin. I mean the officer is in London, but the gallery is in Berlin, they said. This is a selective project and by asking them it seems kind of a good deal, so I am thinking to sign-up and send my works to them. Just the due is April and very soon, so I hope at least I can meet the deadline...

When I proceed more on the project, I will talk more about it...

Here I will show the images of Rochester Contemporary Art Center how 6x6 works will be presented.

my 6x6 has arrived!

I received an email from Rochester Contemporary Art Center that they got my package. I am looking forward the 6x6x2012 benefit show!

Working on sending works to RCAC

I found an information of the 6x6 2012 benefit show,
http://www.roco6x6.org/6x6x2012_intro.php

and I decided to send my mini works for the show. Since I just spent a lots of money for the show in London, and I don't want to (or cannot) spent much money at the moment, so I choose more easy "Call" for the next project. Even I have got the offer from the show in Barcelona, I don't think I can do, but this is the benefit show for everybody (not only artists but anybody), and there is "no fee" to join the event, so I will take another chance to send works to NY.

The show will be at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center and from June 2 - July 15, 2012.
Detail is on the link above and I will let you know how it will be when I send my works there.

Here are the works I will send. (still need to scan some works that I don't have on file.)

あかマルシェの展示

Here is the gallery rooms that I was joining to show my works at CASO gallery in Osaka. I should have taken my own booth. There are 40 group of artists in 3 big gallery rooms. I like the tall ceiling with the patio at the second floor. Some people were looking down from the hole from the second floor.

It was nice to learn hanging myself, and see many new artists, and art people. I got tired after showing up and bringing in and out both ways, but it was a good experience.

あかマルシェの展示の様子です。

3部屋のギャラリーに、40組位の参加者でした。U-streamやハガキ展もやっていました。
ギャラリー展なので、アート作品だけかと思ったら、クラフト系のものや、服や革製品のブース、石に絵を描いたり折り紙で絵をかたどって震災のチャリティーをしている人などもいました。審査の仕方がイマイチようわからんなー、と思った。

２日間朝から晩迄で大変だったけど、いろんな人に会って、いろんな作品も見れて参加してみて良かったです。

My booth is next to the door on the left back.
