for a week or so i've been volunteering for :phunk studio, they and keiichi tanaami do a collaboration together, the exhibition open from 18 august till september, i think ( i forgot :\ )
it's called eccentric city and it's awesomeeee
so the city is made of tatebanko, which have 4 sides, two sides are phunk's and the other two is tanaami's, they hang the tatebankos so that if u look from the right side of the room you'll see tanaami's artworks and left side of the room you'll see phunk's. some of the tatebankos are crushed and put on the floor. representing rise and fall of a city.
me and my friends decided to volunteer, so we help cut, score, fold, touching up stuff and it's pretty cool. :D as a reward, we got front row seats booked for us! (for the :phunk and tanaami-san talk) which is pretty awesome even tho the place is small so it doesnt really matter if ur sitting front row or not, haha but it's definitely a rare chance to see them together and especially keichii tanaami who is 74 years old! (fun fact: the guy used to be an art director for playboy magazine japan edition) his work is very psychedelic, and just awesome, i really like the characters, the colors, the dots and all.
ah and we got tanaami san to sign an autograph for us, he drew this little character for each signature, and we took pics together. :)
*something is wrong with blogger, i cant post pics. what a letdown!
