  • On Conceptual Clothing

    ,

    I don’t normally gravitate towards fashion related events, but the following does sound quite interesting — and I’m quite fond of the graphic that advertises the exhibition. This is an occasion to reinforce Koike Kazuko’s reputation as a curator of fundamental power. The exhibition she put together introduces pieces of “clothing”, divided into five categories…

  • Kiiiiiii Rock Komaba!

    , ,

    This afternoon, after catching a Resfest program in Harajuku, I was off to the Tokyo University Komaba campus to watch a performance by Kiiiiiii — who I’ve been meaning to see for what seems like ages now. Oh man, what a show! I’ve rarely seen that much energy on a stage. The whole Kiiiiiii thing…

  • Shorts #02

    —

    ,

    I didn’t wake up early enough to catch the RESMIX Korea program this morning, but I made it to Shorts #02, and really enjoyed a lot of the shorts presented. Stefan Nadelman — director of last year’s great TERMINAL — was on hand after the program to talk about his contribution this year, ONE STEP…

  • By Design

    —

    ,

    This afternoon I went to the Laforet Museum for the Resfest‘s By Design program. I never miss this, and again this year I was not disappointed. MK12, probably my favorite MG (motion graphics) group out there, had 2 entries — finally giving me a chance to see the Funkstorung video they made in all its…

  • Kiiiiiii at Komaba

    —

    ,

    Tomorrow (Sunday) is the big school festival on the Komaba campus of Tokyo University, and Kiiiiiii will be performing, along with Spank Happy (Halcali was supposed to perform also, but they pulled out). Kiiiiiii will hit the stage from 3:50 to 4:20. The show is free (or something like a donations welcome kind of thing).

  • Resfest 2004

    —

    ,

    The JAPAN TIMES has an article up on this weekend’s Resfest. Tokyo became a stop in 1999, one of the first beyond the original five cities. Japan also has been a major source of contributors. Last year saw Junji Kojima and Kentaro Kobayashi’s “Japanese Tradition (Relationships)” win the Audience Choice Award. This time, look for…

  • Jon the dog

    —

    ,

    Reading the following entry on Jon the dog at REALTOKYO reminded me of the first time I heard about this artist, from a show Patrick had attended (I think it was with Emi Necozawa). Jon the dog is actually a girl, but how she wears her dog’s costume and sings absurd lo-fi folk pop songs…

  • The Planet: Transport

    —

    ,

    Julian Gatto, who was one of the people involved in the “Aqui Uzumaki” exhibition earlier this year (also spawning the excellent SONIDO UZUMAKI compilation on Music Related), lets me know that he has a new show that starts today at the Uplink Gallery. Organized along with 360 Records, it’s called “The Planet: Transport,” and it…
