Slow Art Collective is an art group based in Melbourne, led by Chaco Kato and Dylan Martorell. Their art projects focus on sustainability and multicultural coexistence and embrace public participation by using natural materials like bamboo, rope, and materials found in the city. They create "slow art" as a "device for making connections," a way for diverse people to share and exchange culture instead of fast, monetary exchanges.

Following on from last year, the artists will be staying in the Daimaruyu area again to create an open space for slow art where everyone can participate. The aim is to create a large-scale installation work together with the people who gather there, or who happen to pass by, creating various connections in the process.

There are two ways to get involved to this project: [Public Production] , where you can closely observe the artists' production of the artworks, and [Participating in making], where you can actually enjoy making the artworks as a participant, allowing participants to engage with the artworks in both ways freely. The Slow Art Collective's works, in which spread organically across a large space, are created by the hands of the participants. Please feel free to join us with your family, friends and colleagues.

Workshop | What shape is "bumbuku"? – Creating New Shape of words | 10.7 (Sat)

Let's use onomatopoeia to express the sounds around you and your current mood. Onomatopoeia, which is called Gitaigo (onomatopoeia) or Giongo (mimetic) words in Japanese, describes invisible sounds, the state of things, textures, tastes, colours and many other things in words. For example, the sound of a car running, "bralorororo"; the feeling of happiness after eating a delicious meal, "pupukuho"; the texture of the ground, "jashijashi". Let's use string to freely express the shapes we imagine from the onomatopoeia of our imagination, without being bound by the words we are used to hearing.

Tutor: Mahime Yamagami (Tokyo Metropolitan University, Graduate School of System Design, Industrial Art)

Date/Time: 10.7 (Sat) 13:00–15:00
Venue: Slit Park YURAKUCHO
Free of charge, No booking required.

 

Performance | Hanare Banare | 10.7 (Sat)

"People suddenly separated from each other. All that remains is the thread that once held them together. What will you think of when these threads are linked again?".This is a participatory performance that evolves as the audience ties the threads together. Please take a part of performance, and enjoy together.

Performance: Kazumi Sakai (actor)

Date/Time: 10.7 (Sat) 13:00–15:00
Venue: Slit Park YURAKUCHO
Free of charge, No booking required.

 

Workshop | Geometric Challenge | 10.9 (Mon), 15 (Sun), 28 (Sat)

The Geometric Challenge is a workshop where you can create surprisingly complex geometric shapes from simple line combinations using bamboo and rubber.

Daimaruyu Art Action

The Daimaruyu area (Otemachi, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho), in addition to being a business district that plays a key role in the Japanese economy, has a history of urban development centered on culture and the arts dating back 100 years, including the construction of Japan's first theater at the dawn of modern Japan. “Daimaruyu Art Action” will implement a number of art projects at the forefront of urban development in the heart of the city, and collaborate with a network of local businesses with a view to "the next 100 years" of taking action to arouse creativity.

Each Linkage to be implemented in the Daimaruyu area in Tokyo Biennale 2023 will collaborate with the following members for its realization.

Daimaruyu SDGs ACT5 Project Executive Committee, Ligare (OMY Area Management Association), The OMY Landlord Council, Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., other companies, stores, entrepreneurs and workers in the Daimaruyu area, artist collectives and designers working on social issues, universities and organizations involved in multiculturalism and community development, and others.
