Nakanishi Daisuke ("Little More") vol. 005

November 20

At noon I'm interviewing the up-and-coming designer trio Mint Designs,
followed by a meeting with Fushimi Kyoko, one of the most promising
and reliable stylists around. On my schedule for the night are the
100m tracks of the National Stadium, where a fashion show by 20471120
closes this season's Tokyo Collection. These are exciting days, and to
soothe the neurotic mood that starts creeping up I'm taking a dose of
the just released deluxe edition of John Coltrane's "Love Supreme," an
album I've been in love with since I was a kid. I feel better after
hearing the track where Coltrane is joined by Archie Shepp.

Vol. 52: Barrier-Free Theatre
by Ozaki Tetsuya

I wonder if people think I'm crazy when I ask whether blind people
can watch movies. Well, the answer is, of course they can. Movie
theatre visitors can listen to an extra sound channel with situation
descriptions and stage directions that is transmitted to headphones,
using infrared rays or FM transmitters. The explanations are
synchronized with the visuals, but since they are placed in intervals
of the regular soundtrack, they don't interfere with the dialogues.

(3) Event Pick of the Week
===============================================================

Asia in Transition

This is volume four of an international symposium on art in Asia,
which has been held three times so far in the past ten years.
At a time where the globalisation problem is put in a new light
since 9.11, this event is designed as an opportunity for a new
discussion of the identity of 'Asia.' Participating panelists
include Sakai Naoki, Yoshimi Shunya, and Mori Art Museum director
David Elliott. Together with the "Under Construction" exhibition
that is now being shown at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, this event
is recommended not only to people who are related to art in one way
or another, but to everyone who is concerned about the various
problems Asian countries are facing.
