A recent encounter with MINORU HATANAKA, curator of a fantastic show and the ‘ Open Space 2010’ currently underway at the CENTRE FOR INTERCOMMUNICATION in TOKYO.
Listen up Britain!
Open Space includes a gallery, a library, a mini-theater, and a lounge. All are open to the public, free of charge, throughout the year. In line with the philosophy behind all ICC activities, we not only offer exhibitions that introduce ever more people to leading-edge artistic expression and the possibilities of a communication-rich culture, but also make available a wide variety of materials from past activities, including a video archive. A new "Kids' Lounge" for children has also been created, adding to the exhibits of media art works by prominent Japanese and overseas artists that explain in an easy-to-understand manner the relationship between "media technology and artistic culture," as well as a corner introducing emerging artists.
Minoru Hatanaka has been involved with the curation of Japanese Media Arts since its early beginnings, he has also developed a long standing position as one of Tokyos eminent electro acoustic performers.
The space he is now in charge of is very impressive as is the work shown. I managed to catch a mesmerising collection of KOSHIDA NAORIKO’S Video Works.
"The Story About the Crack in Reality" 2008 "Something in the Spiral World" 2009
I also had the opportunity of presenting Minhoru with a DVD of my current work.
