(1) Out of Tokyo
===============================================================

Vol. 41: Thoughts on "Les Paravents"

A play based on Jean Genet's "Les Paravents" was shown at Setagaya Public 
Theatre
in early July. The piece was first staged in Berlin in 1961, and when shown 
at the
Odeon Theatre in Paris in 1966 it ended in a major scandal because of the 
play's
sarcastic and critical view of the Algerian War of Independence (1954-62). 
With a
duration of at least three hours and a half, and a cast of about 100 
characters, this
stage version was produced by French director Frederic Fisbach, who applied the
techniques of Japanese Joruri puppet drama to the dialogues, and employed next
to real actors the puppets of the Joruri-oriented Yuki-za puppet theatre 
company.

Vol. 003: Baba Masataka "A" magazine

Bookshop Cafe

I'm currently wrestling with my work for the "R-project," which was launched by
designers and creators who took part in last year's "Tokyo Designers Block" in
Aoyama, as well as several companies and investors. IDEE president Kurosaki
Teruo functions as a kind of organizer for the project, the name of which 
stands
for keywords such as 'Rethink,' 'Renovation' etc. That's actually the same 
kind of
story as with our magazine's name "A," the letter for 'Architecture,' 
'Art,' 'Anonymous'...

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

Kosaka Jun Exhibition: jun.com

REALTOKYO's art director, Kosaka Jun originally comes from architecture, 
but his
works include as well computer graphics and digital art that uses Flash or 
original
applications. The impetus for such creative output probably comes from the 
strong
and direct will to define the status of contemporary art from both the 
technical and
the ideological perspective, by combining cutting-edge technology and 
expressiveness.
  In this solo exhibition Kosaka gives an extensive introduction to his 
varied fields of
interest, exhibiting visual artworks, architectural works, programs, and 
others.
Apparently he is also thinking about using the 'algorithm-less noise' of 
RT's BBS page
for his artworks, and I wonder whether there's time for such things in his 
busy schedule...
