Artist(s): Haruko SASAKAWA
Date: 25 Oct - 4 Nov 2013
In July, we attended an art fair in Osaka, “ART OSAKA 2013”, which was held at Hotel Granvia Osaka. We used two guest rooms of the hotel as gallery booths, and the performance art by Haruko Sasakawa, “Study Room no.6221” was demonstrated in one of the rooms. A woman tries to learn a mysterious culture or custom based on a book and a DVD that have the title of “Text book“, in the room. Visitors witness her action which might appear strange to them. The private space that we cannot see at usual hotel, was opened to the visitors. Yoshimi Arts is pleased to present the exhibition for documentation of the performance art by Haruko Sasakawa. The document video will be screened, and she will display memo which the performer wrote, and others relating to the performance. Our gallery will be like an event venue for the sale of textbooks.
