  • 20 KDa Opening

    After that last post, I just realized I hadn’t put photos from KDa‘s opening for their retrospective exhibition at Gallery MA. It’s a great show — love the use of those blinking signs — and well worth making the short trek from Tokyo Midtown. It runs until June 6.

  • Malin Baumann and the Gorilla Store

    OK Fred‘s Gorilla Store #3 is now over, but I still wanted to put up a few photos from the space, featuring Malin Baumann‘s items. Really loved the graphic patterns seen on the badges above — each one represents a letter from the alphabet. I’m hoping she follows through with what she told me and…

  • Naked Tokyo Call for Submissions

  • Tape4fun

    Before heading off to NYC, Shantell had another Tape4fun event this past Monday in Yoyogi park — see the Flickr photoset.

  • PauseTalk Vol. 30

    It wasn’t the insane turnout from last month, but the twenty or so participants for this month’s edition of PauseTalk (Vol. 30) contributed to a better talk — where everyone can join in — even if things did get more opiniated and heated than they usually do. I think everyone got a lot out of…

  • Suming Up Tokyo Art Week

    Antonin (Digiki) — one of the founders of 101TOKYO — gives his take on the art week (101TOKYO, Art Fair Tokyo) that was.

  • Aeolian Ride

    “Aeolian Ride” — held so far in a few cities around the world — sees a bunch of riders get together, put on an inflatable suit and, well, ride around. It’s coming to Tokyo on May 16, and if interested you can sign up here. Visit the previous cities’ photo galleries to get a better…

  • OK Fred Gorilla Store 3

    OK Fred magazine is producing a third “Gorilla Store” — yes, that is the intended spelling — this weekend (April 10-12, 12:00-19:00 daily), this time featuring works by Swedish designer Malin Baumann. It all takes place at OK Fred HQ in Kami-Meguro (near Yutenji station).

  • Des Ailes

    My dearest Audrey — and Radio OK Fred co-host — has produced a new book, and the launch happens tonight (18:00-20:00) at NOW IDeA by UTRECHT in Aoyama — this will be an advance sale of the book. Des Ailes is an adaptation of the Graine-d’aile fairy tale by French surrealist poet Paul Eluard, featuring…

  • 20 Klein Dytham Architecture

    I’ve been very much enjoying working closely with Klein Dytham architecture (KDa) on PechaKucha Night-related projects this year, and it also pleases me to see them celebrate their 20th anniversary in Japan with a retrospective exhibition at Gallery MA, as well as the beautifully-produced book of their works and design philosophy that accompanies the show.…
