Workshops by Gaku Kurokawa, a participating artist in the biennale.
This workshop involves participants making their own small wooden mallets and then heading out into the city to make sounds. As you walk around the city, you gently touch things that catch our eye with your mallets and listen carefully to the sounds you make. Let’s enjoy together the fun, mystery, and joy of touching things we encounter in the city with the tools we have made ourselves and listening to the sounds that result. The creation of the wooden mallets will involve only simple tasks, requiring no specialized knowledge or experience. After making the wooden mallets, we will walk with Mr. Kurokawa and listen to the sounds around us. The mallets you create can be taken home with you.

Born in Shimane, 1994. Based in Kyoto. While dealing with the joy, wonder and difficulty of “”touching”” (or trying to touch) various objects and things with his own body, Gaku Kurokawa makes works focusing on the process of finding ways to relate to the materials and objects he handles at any given time, or on the process of trying to find such ways. Awarded Kyoto city special bounty program for art and culture.
