Period of Residence:
September 3, 2004 - December 21, 2004
About the Work:
I have become very interested in using everyday elements to
describe a current state of being and a local history as transmitted
through found elements. Small objects and fugitive moments that
are generally thought as being devoid of meaning can be mined.
This causes a shift in the way we interact with a space of time
and place. I would like to develop a series of sculptures that
can be left for people in public and then make drawings of them.

Period of Residence:
September 17, 2004 - December 15, 2004
About the Work:
I plan to install the work that reflects my experience during
the residency. I am very interested in the variation of light
and shadow. I use glue to model a lot of stalactite forms that
will be attached to objects in the room. They will be presented
with a different feel from control of light. I would also like
to collect things from daily life here and combine them into
my work as new materials. I wish to let viewers have a special
visual arts experience under the aura. Then, at the same time,
the collective community memories should be gradually called
out.

Expected Period of Residence:
September 20, 2004 - December 25, 2004
About the Work:
I usually use elements that refer to power in forms of objects
and sculptures. Now, being in Japan for the first time, I am
taking interest in the appropriation of Western ideas in modern
Japan, as well as the
foreign residents and communities in Japan. I hope to manifest
my thoughts on these ideas with photographs and video.

Expected Period of Residence:
September 5, 2004 - December 20, 2004
About the Work:
I will work with “Collecting System,” collecting used
paper, newspapers and cardboard for constructing a paper dwelling,
and do research on moss and its relation to construction, visiting
Zen gardens and rooftop gardens. These new projects are related
to a long-term project called “School,” which will
be continued next year in Mexico. I would also like to find
out about the alternative education programs in Japan today.
How does it work in relation to the changing society? How are
ideas and thinking being re-constructed / re-thought in relation
to knowledge and education? I plan to do a school workshop in
relation to my project.

Expected Period of Residence:

About the Work:
I consider my project at ARCUS as collaboration with Moriya
City. Therefore, I would like to broaden my concept and intensify
my artistic exploration through my newly established relationship
with the local community. I am planning to focus on desires
that are nurtured by our culture as well as on the fundamental
desires of human in my work. The outcome will be a series of
photograph that combines performance and installation, involving
the people of Moriya.
