10/21, Arts Culture Tourism from Tokyo
Seen in the context of recent events — from Monday’s note on growing financial hardship to Wednesday’s notes on the preservationist who plowed through a 600 year-old Japanese toilet with a 22 year-old car; the 100 Chinese Dragon gang members fighting in a French restaurant on the 58th floor; and the female boxer in film “Small, Slow But Steady” reflecting her faltered surroundings by shooting in 16mm film — Kyoto Experiment, Alternative Kyoto, and Art Collaboration Kyoto this October and November all combine local culture with technology and ask the difficult question; what can art contribute during periods of austerity?
