    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.

    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.

    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…

    Art director Luis Mendo decided to take a 3-month “inspirational retreat” in Tokyo, and he’s been keeping some brilliantly illustrated diaries of his everyday experiences — see the Flickr photoset of some of the pages. He’s also putting together a great web-based diary of his Tokyo adventures, featuring photos, videos, etc.
