In this "Cafe", the discussion of Asia, the war, the education, the photograph, the archive, and the world is being held. We only have to view or hear the discussion as we like. The enthusiastic discussion is all worth to listen. The nature in Echigo-Tsumari, the air of the summer, and the atmosphere among the discussion participants are strongly conveyed from the record image, such as by Mr. Kitagawa’s spoken gesture while smoking a cigarette, and the reflecting scenery of Echigo-Tsumari in the video. It has a clear contrast with the traditional discussion record image. It might be also important that the record image of a discussion tell the atmosphere of the place with the discussed content. As like an artist chooses a place where he/she creates a work, the people who discuss it might be influenced by the place. For your information, this is an exhibition of a triumphant return in Tokyo that shows the work and screen of five discussions held on the weekend of Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial 2009, as a part of “critics coast” by” Atsushi Sugita + art & river bank”. Attention that the video archive work "dictionary" exhibited in Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial 2009 is not included this time. The 6th discussion is held on Saturday, December 12 in the final day at the session. If you did not visit to Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial 2009, please come and sit on the lowest seat in the cafe this time as one of the members who create the atmosphere.
