Maeda Keizo (producer, Conversation) vol. 004

For me it was again a hectic year that was over before I knew it.
I wonder, who's that guy who invented the calendar? A number of
different calendars exist on the globe, and for all of us who are
used to seeing the sun rise and set, the moon wax and wane, and
the celestial bodies change by the hour, the daily cycle feels
perfectly natural. In the case of a week, a month, a year, or
even ten years, it's not so easy to get a feeling for the time
that passes. I've seen TV programs where they blindfold people,
take them to some distant place they've never seen nor known, and
ask them to return home all by themselves. I suppose that must be
a feeling of uncertainty similar to the feeling of time. Try and
imagine you were locked in room without a window, a clock or a
calendar. After a couple of weeks, would you be able to tell how
much time has passed?

No Holds Barred! Tsuzuki Kyoichi on Contemporary Art

You'll have noticed the cylindrical objects that are cut at
an angle, lined up next to the travelator at Shinjuku Station's
west exit. It's an affair with a story behind it, since concerned
parties have been seeing them as a measure to keep homeless
people from taking up "residence" there. In response to Tsuzuki
Kyoichi's presumption that "there must be many of such objects
made to exclude the homeless," we went out to research, to find
out that there are in fact quite a few. At this event, Tsuzuki
will discuss extensively the absurdity and anger that is connected
with the "art without heart" that he is also introducing in the
current issue of ART iT magazine. His talk partner is REALTOKYO/
ART iT editor Ozaki Tetsuya.
