Experimental Arts and Performance,
SF project

-sf project-
 

What is "sf project"?

This is a project that I started with one of my classmates from graduate school in order to experiment with a method of exchange, presentation, and management (sales) among artists living in the same era.

The style of the project is to decide what to create and the final form depending on the place of presentation, the participating artists, and the content of the request. It is like a mobile circus.

What we aimed for

To create a new system where art can be bought and sold outside of galleries and other art spots, and where artists can be recognized.

Costumes, props, paintings, prints, music, and other works used on stage can be purchased. These works were created by fashion students, printmakers, visual artists, plastic artists, and other artists who normally work independently. Participating artists were gathered for each project.

"sf project" disbanded after the 2006 Kirimukauri series. After that, it was revived irregularly in 2013 during the "KADOYA studio Summer Festival" and other events.

MOCOSHAWL room 206
(Dance performance)

The wind that blew over the mountains strokes the grasslands and drops a silver song far away
(A performance of paintings, prints, videos and songs.)

The stage is a room in an apartment.

The remnants of the previous residents (shadows) and the current resident exists at the same time.

(superposition dance)

 

Superposition of memory of the building and time.

the previous resident(shadow) = the performer plays

the present residents = ordinary person plays (not any performer)

​Performanced by

Haruna Tanaka(corporeal mime), Mariko Yoshitake

An experimental theater that attempts to nest performing arts and exhibitions.

The theater, where songs and plays are usually performed, was set up to look like a museum.

 

Story

The setting is a museum in the future where a retrospective exhibition of a fictional artist is being held.

While viewing the works in the museum, the audience encounters the artist's memories (images, sounds, and smells) overflowing from his works.

After the flood of memories has passed, the audience is standing in the house where the artist spent his life, on a floor plan (lighting).

 

Catchphrase

“A hymn to the love that is part of the cycle of life and death, and to the never-ending workings of human life, even if the life of a person is fleeting. “
