EVENTS

RRR OFFICE approaches gathering as both methodology and theory: an open practice that uses presence, conversation, and shared time as tools for collective making. Each encounter contributes to the formation of the work, slowly transforming Ebihara Shoten into a site of exchange and resonance. It runs its own program, but also opens to others through a sub-rent approach.   The week’s participant in the sub-rent program is Lily Onga. Starting from Ebihara Shoten, a century-old former clothing store, Lily Onga wanders around Kanda’s Yanagihara street to record memories of people’s activities in old and new shops, shrines, kindergarten, and dwellings by observing, interviewing and recording by filling in the paper forms found in the very own place with drawings. It is not quite scientifically accurate as photographs, but it is pretty accurate as human’s memories. From 14 (Fri) to 16 (Sun) November the artist will be staying on-site to create new works. Previously created pieces will also be on display, so please feel free to stop by!   Artist Lily Onga Born in 1997 in Bangkok and now based in Tokyo, Lily began her career in book design before expanding into illustration and animation. Using colored pencils, clay, wood, receipts, boxes, eggshells, and found objects, she collects materials like a crow drawn to shine—turning everyday fragments into imaginative worlds. Her work blends comic-like expressions, receipt graphics, and playful design twists, revealing an artist endlessly fascinated by the beauty and absurdity of daily life. http://lilyonga.com/ Instagram: @Lilyonga
