Rodger‘s owner, Leon’s event was held 30 May/2022, in the afternoon. You know that every Monday there is the pop up lunch, “HIBINO day by day” — It’s been a year and it’s become established in people. Its Ideas, images, passions, efforts and continuations. This is the clear expression of Pop Up Lunch chef Fish herself.
There was an experimental music performance and unique vocalization. Rodger’s outdoor seats, surrounded by trees, quickly replace the extra-dimensional sound space. And what I found very interesting was that the rice ball menu was really fit to that space!
Kazuko Miyamoto, the owner of a long-established gallery in Lower Manhattan called Gallery onetwentyeight, is an artist and has an extraordinary generosity. She knew young Jimi Hendrix, also she has earned the most artworld credibility as an assistant to Sol LeWitt. At the same time Kazuko has continued to fascinate us with her extraordinary artistic versatility and musical talent. I’m/we’re so happy. Congratulations!
Morningside Park in Harlem, NYC. For the past year, the “the Reclining Liberty,” created by artist Zaq Landsberg, will be withdrawn on 22 April, a year later. Let us each express “what is freedom?” around the “Reclining Liberty” before it is removed! Yasuyo’s idea was the beginning. Soon we had the idea that together with the people who came, such as dancing, prayer, singing, music, performance, and reading we could ask for each audience member’s thoughts about “Freedom,” and write it on a small paper angel, then hang them on a tree.
Everyone who joined, friends, family, artist Zaq, Morningside Park President Brad Taylor, Cynthia, Tony who created this wonderful flyer, Takashio who was also in charge of signage creation, Yasuyo and Leo who summarized all the complicated exchanges, Ayakoh and Resobox in charge of Zoom, all the participating artists and performers, Orin and Tony making the video, Noriko who participated with the poem from Tokyo, the media/organization that supported this event. I am grateful to everyone involved. Thank you so very much.
For a long time, I was wondering why sewing machine spools (bobbin) and radioactivity marks look similar.
Upon examination, the sewing machine thread was made to match the shape of the bobbin, and the mark of radioactivity was more than that. In 1941, the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory, California, USA (currently Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) invented in its basic design the three leaves protruding from the center. These three leaves represent α- rays, β-rays, and y-rays, respectively, and simply represent how each radiation is emitted from the central nucleus.
You wind the thread to the adorable Japanese children’s song “Itomaki”, but your hands have already been exposed and your skin is sore and red. How long will you continue to wind?
Although it snowed before and after March 11th, it was chilly but the weather was fair, like a gift. At this time we had a one-day exhibition at our friend, activist and jazz pianist Trudy’s 5C Cafe & Cultural Center (outside corner due to corona circumstances).
I’m making a photo video right now, so please wait for a while.
