The last day at YOMOYAMA-SO www.yomoyama.org in Japan, an artist residency 60 km north-east of Tokyo, at the end of the sub-urban belt. Here i could work on my new project “Crossing the Line”: www.alfred-banze.de/crossing Yesterday was the last day of ARTONE, an exhibition of 20 artists and other local creatives and activists from the area.
Some kids from Tone-Town like my installation "Crossing the Line"
Since days, Christine Falk and I were invited to dinner parties with many people. And this evening another one will come, but we are inviting: for a german soup, at YOMOYAMA-SO, a former farming house, 300 years old. From the first time i saw the house, I compared it with the CASTLE IN THE SPIDER WEB FOREST, title of an old Kurasawa movie. But first, we have to set down the exhibition, packing and so on … Later on, more infos!
