This is Hiro.<br \/>\nToday I&#8217;m writing about a group exhibition we held at some places in Studio Kura&#8217;s surroundings. Every day the exhibition was on it rained, and a typhoon almost came to this area too, but many people came anyway and we really appreciated that.<\/p>\n<p>We opened on August 24th and it was like this.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-prn2\/1231212_406249809479339_2068475590_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nThe opening tour started in the middle of a heavy rain. We started with just six people.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-ash3\/64456_406249509479369_557109694_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nWe visited Nigel&#8217;s exhibition at Hanatolife. He&#8217;s still in residence working on his Hakuro project.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7456\/9587465172_2cfe9e0df7_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7348\/9584668463_9d6cde6746_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nThen we went to Studio Kura to enjoy Mexican duo Roxana Valdez and Fabian Landgrave&#8217;s performance. It was a piece of work based on Mexican myths. A beautiful performance coupled with mystic sounding music.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2834\/9584670199_ef98aa34f6_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nMore people started to come, so many that some of them had to stand up.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-ash3\/1237163_393974170724429_1339841144_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nMiss Kuwano, who did the cafe at Itoshima Arts Farm last year, brought some bagels from her bakery. We had them with vegetables from our own fields. They were delicious!<br \/>\nThank you to Miss Nishihara and Mr Haruta for selling the bagels for us!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3774\/9587542966_92154fdbec_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nAfter enjoying our snack, we went to the Japanese hall to watch Miss Okahara&#8217;s movie.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7408\/9587539894_ab36d903a4_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nThen we went to the residence house&#8217;s garage to see Hiroyuki Nishio&#8217;s drawings. We were redoing the walls for this space until the day before the exhibition, and we turned it into a white cube!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5492\/9584745299_10cdb9b42d_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nI showed my work outside of the house.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3715\/9584740809_ba2bd872b7_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nWe went to the shrine under the heavy rain. Kenji Makizono had a sound installation in the shrine, and Chihiro Nishimura had her installation in the shrine&#8217;s kitchen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3778\/9584813933_4bb96d4751_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nAt half past seven, dancer Natsuko Tezuka performed for us. Her dance started out of nowhere, and after some time people started noticing. It was too good. I can&#8217;t express such greatness in pictures&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It was an event about enjoying art while walking around. I would like to continue this so that it is easier for people to enjoy art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi! This is Hiro.
