Vol. 082: BankART 1929
by Ozaki Tetsuya

After hearing about the openings of two new art spaces in
historical buildings near Bashamichi Station on the Minatomirai
Line, I went to a press briefing. One of them is not exactly
near, but located right on top of the station building, which
used to accommodate the Daiichi Bank. Restored in 2003, the
classicistic structure dates back to the year 1929. The other
place is less than a one-minute walk from the station.
Erected in the same year, the stone construction is from where
the Fuji Bank was once operating. Both built in the same year
and serving the same purpose, the places are now called "BankART
1929 Yokohama" and "BankART 1929 Bashamichi". "BankART 1929"
serves as a collective name for both of them, as well as the
program of artistic activities that are going to happen at these
two venues. It is also the name of the NPO that runs the places.

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

ACA Media Arts Festival

How "artistic" are these "media arts"? What were the evaluation
criteria? And what about the pell-mell concept of mixing virtuosos
and newcomers? Well... let's stop asking questions and look at
the festival's selection of digital art, computer games, animation,
manga, and other torch-bearing Japanese "media art." An opportunity
to see a broad range of recent works including Kuwakubo Ryota's
"Digital Gadgets" and Kawamoto Kihachiro's distich animation
project "Winter Days" free of charge, the ACA Media Arts Festival
is an event definitely worth visiting. Special submissions by
previous prizewinners such as Oba Yasuo or Hashimoto Mika are also
promising
