    Another huge crowd for PauseTalk this month, but one that felt like it was meant to happen: 31 participants for Vol. 31. So like the March edition we ended up with a back row, and a few others standing up. I think we still managed to keep everyone involved, and I especially thank those who…

    I had a chance to check out Daniel‘s exhibition yesterday — the one I posted about — and quite enjoyed what I saw. The best was to have him explain the meaning behind each piece — it was great to hear the justification for each element used. Unbelievably, he’s selling t-shirts for 1,000 yen —…

    Yeah, that’s me in the middle — here’s a larger version. The photo was taken last week by Tim as he spotted me on the escalator leaving the Fukutoshin platform in Ikebukuro. He saw me and quickly pulled out his camera, to which I screamed: “Analog!”

    Just realized that I forgot to link to my Tokyo post at MoCo Loco last week. It covered more Milan-shown items, including works from Toshiyuki Kita, Arihiro Miyake, Shigeru Ban, and Jin Kuramoto.
