  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition first leads visitors through works depicting escalators with glittering metal and glass. Then in contrast they see paintings of old stone stairs in a museum. Various artificial and natural lighting, textures and atmosphere of space and location meticulously created on canvas let viewers have the feeling as if they are inside the work. This feels like an experience of a short walk in a city.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Shimon Minamikawa is known for his paintings that incorporate text, stripes and polka dots onto a single surface, along with human figures and still lifes. This exhibition focuses on his paintings while also introducing viewers to the creative process and ideas that underline his work. Minamikawa's painting-installation explores the boundaries and demarcations particular to painting and the ways in which it seems to jut or spill out of them.

  <Description><![CDATA[Ken Matsubara dissolves our sleeping memories just like they are frozen at the bottom of our hearts in his works made of antique objects, photographs and movies which are imprinted with people's memories. He thinks that memories are inherited from human to human through the DNA of microorganisms and that people can reach those common memories that cross over the world's various races and generations if we can awaken our own memories. Human beings are tied together by common memories and we will cross over those boundaries by sharing our memories.

&quot;Mekong Delta&quot;
The movie for this work was shot at the Mekong River delta in Vietnam. 5 children are floating in the muddy river just like they are rising up to heaven. They are visible through an original, specially crafted, translucent mirror, a glass dome. This work is dedicated to and mourns for the death of children in the many wars and disasters around the world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[From the start, each year the Yebisu International Festival for Art &amp; Alternative Visions has posed the question, “What is an image?” and chosen a theme that suggests an answer to this question. It was, however, no easy task to think about an appropriate theme or envision the shape that this year’s festival might take less than a year since Japan was shaken to its roots by the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the Tohoku region in northeast Japan. Confronted with images of such overwhelming power, images that exposed the fragility of the foundations on which images are built, it came to us at last that there was really only one choice, to make our theme the physicality of images. In retrospect it seems so obvious, in times like these we had to start over again with this most simple and basic of questions. It would, at the same time direct our eyes once again to the complex and diverse possibilities inherent in images.

The theme of the fourth Yebisu International Festival for Art &amp; Alternative Visions is, then, “How Physical”. To illuminate the physicality of images, we begin with their practical aspect, then, through the works we present, press on into the riches and depth that images offer. Before we raise questions about the themes and cultural significance of images, asking what images show us or why these particular images were taken, we turn first to the technologies, the skills, the tools, the activities, the means of distribution that make images possible. At the same time, we recognize the presence in images of times and spaces that only exist as images and the power of images to affect us viscerally. Our aim is to savor deeply forms of creative expression in which the distinctive physicality of images is brought to life. We also see this as an opportunity to reconsider the issues of the day not abstractly, but concretely by considering the physical processes, equipment, technologies and economic environment in which images are captured, preserved and passed down to us.

The Yebisu International Festival for Art &amp; Alternative Visions takes full advantage of the space in which it is held to provide an opportunity for those who create, connect, and receive images to come together to enjoy the works on display and examine from many angles the physical aspects of images past and present. We hope that it becomes for everyone involved a comprehensive and future-oriented celebration of the “physical making” involved in imaging and visual creative expression.

  <Description><![CDATA[Photographer Taisuke Koyama is known for his photography works with abstract expressions. As recent digital cameras typically also contain a video function, the distinction between still images and moving ones is becoming more vague. In this exhibition, G/P gallery will present Koyama’s video work, which is an attempt to expand the boundaries of photography.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition features beautiful women garbed in richly individualistic kimonos, including beauty paintings by Uemura Shōen, Kaburaki Kiyokata and Itō Shinsui, along with examples of ukiyo-e and contemporary Nihonga and Western style paintings. In particular, the female painter Shōen paid close attention to all of the specific details of a kimono outfit, from the textile designs seen on the kimono and obi sash, to the accompanying hairstyle and hair ornaments. A tomboyish young girl seen in Suzuki Harunobu's Picking a Persimmon, Shōen's Snowy Day, depicting a vividly lovely young girl, the sumptuous beauty of a young married woman seen in Kiyokata's Agalloch Pillow, Shinsui's Spring with its elegantly refined modern beauty, and Ogura Yuki's adorable young geisha in Dancing (Maiko Girl, Apprentice Geisha): all reveal the various types of kimono-clad women and their beauty.

We hope that visitors will enjoy this exhibition introducing fascinating images of women clad in traditional Japanese kimono, as kimono-wearing opportunities become all the rarer in our modern world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Ami Clarke is an artist whose practice often involves working with appropriated material. During extensive periods of research she responds to the material she finds mindful of the contributory factors of where and how the material she is drawn to is found.

Treating the collection of appropriated footage in a way more akin to a research project, the film: &quot;Be Seeing You&quot; explores the multiple perspectives afforded by film technology, and touches on relations between the audience and projected image.

The immersive environment creates a visual equivalent of certain kinds of auditory stimulation, an aural world, as M. McLuhan noted &quot;the ear favours no particular &quot;point of view&quot;... &quot;we are all enveloped by sound&quot;.

The emphasis on an experiential encounter with video that speaks perhaps of an authentic physiological experience whilst viewing, is complicated by the slippage that occurs between audio and visual affects, and the relentlessly hypnotic affect of the pulsing light.

The humour in the repeated 'takes', suggests a multitude of possibilities.

&quot;Humour as a system of communications and as a problem of our environment - of what’s really going on ... does not deal in theory, but in immediate experience, and is often the best guide to changing perceptions. Older societies thrived on purely literary plots. They demanded story lines. Today’s humour, on the contrary, has no story line - no sequence. It is usually a compressed overlay of stories.&quot;

In a separate work she considers Julian Assange’s comments in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, where the affect of data/news being deleted from the internet, without anyone really noticing it has happened, is described as 'un-publishing'. In this way what was understood, briefly, as 'news', simply disappears.

The publication takes the premise of 'unaccountability' relating to the data stream found in this way on the internet, and more generally, the way in which there can be little certainty re data management, with the advent of digital media, to exact a broad license with the content material in her own artists publication, a 16-page text and visual work, free to take away from the exhibition.

Assange mentions that perhaps it is less difficult in the traditional print media of newspapers, to vanish away such unwanted news, as its material form will potentially still exist with a broad distribution of the paper.]]></Description>
