Obata Taku in Tokyo Wonder Site, Japan

Yaiza Nicolas — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:35:59 +0000

When I was in Tokyo, I visit the Tokyo Wonder Site (Art Space & residency Programme, that this year start collaboration with Hangar Production Art Centre of Barcelona) and I discover in the TWS-Emerging artists, a Japanese artist called Obata Taku, which I really like. The exhibition “It’s just Begun”, is already over, but I want to share with you some images.

Obata congratulations for your work, I really love it.

Beijing

Today I changed the idea of not posting Beijing’s pictures. Here you can see some images of my trip to China…

Tokyo

Yaiza Nicolas — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:58:35 +0000

After Beijing I was in Tokyo… and it was a HUGE contrast.

I forgot how beautiful Tokyo was. I was visiting galleries, visiting art institutions, meeting artists, making some photographs and interventions… It was a really interesting week; Japanese culture is extremely sophisticated and beautiful.

Tokyo projects the idea of a perfect society, everything is exceptionally organized and aesthetic but, honestly I missed some passion. (I’m Spanish…)

Anyway, Tokyo is a great place to make a trip and enjoy art, architecture, fashion, food and design. But I learn that beauty is expensive, and I’m not only talking about money but freedom.

CHINA

Yaiza Nicolas — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:35:19 +0000

I just come back from Beijing, I spend there one week and I do not know what to think about China…

I’m still processing the information, but I can say that my first impression of China is: Red, huge, fake, strong, deep & superficial, ostentatious, a grey living theatre, full of Chinese (80% of them spitting at the same time), extremely capitalistic, totally contradictory, chaotic, exciting, full of Art, beautiful and ugly at the same time, magnetic, impressive and disappointing, the land of individual freedom and social distrust, a set of masks, passionate and sad, packed of kind & lovely thieves, and the biggest advertising company I ever seen…

I do not want to influence that perception with images because it is impossible to described the smell, the noise, the movement, the interactions, the people, the proportions, the feelings, the thoughts and experiences, so that post don’t have pictures.
