Introduction to the project

The starting point of this project was when Youkobo Art Space asked me to think about a concept I would be interested in developing during my internship with them, with the goal of organising an exhibition or art event as its conclusion.

This is a laboratory of intensive exchange of experience and knowledge involving the participation of seven people: Annegien van Doorn (artist, Holland/Spain ), Verónica Luyo (artist, Peru/Spain) Yasuto Masumoto (artist, Japan), Kazuhiro Masuda (artist, Japan) Kanako Hayashi (artist, Japan), Jaime Humphreys (artist/curator, UK/Japan) and Marta Gracia (curator, Spain/ Japan).

Over the course of four meetings, the participants are exploring how they relate their own work and practises to the wider art world, while also exchanging different approaches and ways of working with the concept of everyday experience. The objective is to exchange ideas and experiences and work together using different approaches to produce a concrete art presentation.

First approach


JINA FROM BARCELONA

This is Jina. She came from Tokyo to Spain 40 years ago, first to study and then to work. When I met her I got along with her very easy, she reminds me in a way of my mother, my aunt, my grandmother, etc. I always enjoy listening to her. Jina has a lot of stories and in each one you can see her personal view; that's why I didn't want to do a formal interview, because I really wasn't sure how she was going to react in front of a camara. Actually when she realized I was filming her she got a little upset, so I focused in the audio and sorry about the painful camera ;)
