Micro Museum, Youkobo Arts Centre, Tokyo.

One month residency living and working at the Arts Centre, culminating in an exhibition ‘Micro Museum’. Residents of the surrounding district and visitors to the gallery were invited to submit a personal hand made object of their choice to form part of a growing Museum. Participants stories relating to the objects were recorded and the work was accompanied by a hypnotic sound piece. The work explored the tensions and potential contradictions between function, beauty, value and status. The studio acted as an evolving ‘micro-museum’ of these things, objects, materials and artefacts.
