TOKYO FRANK

Five art students and a tutor from Nottingham Trent University,UK on a visit to Tokyo. Staging an exhibition in collaboration with students from Musashino Arts University and a performance event. explore what international collaboration is all about. The exhibition is called "Traversing Territories". In March 2006 students from Tokyo are coming to Nottingham to do the same. The start of a long relationship. I`ll tell you all about it and show you the pictures.

The First day. Getting lost and anxious.

Discovering Tokyo and getting lost. We`re all becoming aware of the range of stuff we've taken on. Besides the Traversing Territories show we are doing an event at the British Council next Monday (6pm if you are in Tokyo) We are also showing in a Gallery in Yokahama and there`s a childrens workshop and we hope to pioneer the use of the Active Ingredient`s online streaming`Make TV` site, with a link up with FACT in Liverpool. Gosh.
People are talking about `the language question` - like we speak no Japanese, and they little English. We (kind of) think we will communicate in sounds and images. It remains to be seen.
Went to an electronic music performance at a tiny place called MARBLETRON tonight and met some of the Musashino students and the their Professor Christophe Charles.
