DAY SEVEN AND EIGHT THE STORM

So much has been happening have missed putting up the blog. Sunday we installed the show at the small Gin Gallery In Yokahama. Long journey there and a visit to Kamakura to see the temples and the Big Buddha, but we were anxious about the Yokohama show and the sites were so crowded with people that we really did not get alot out of it. We should have taken the advice of Ken, Makoto and Manya, who accompanied us, and taken their tour of alternative Tokyo.
The Gin Gallery s minute and we had lots of new work, mainly by Nottingham students but some from Musabi. We had 3 hours to install the show and we knew it was short, so we hung out at a cafe near the gallery and swooped in as soon as the previous show was taken away. See the photos of the installation. We left Yokohama with the show virtually there at 10.00 and just got back to Tokyo before the last train.
