The other pieces were also cut, pasted, painted, put, hung. The exhibition hall had seemed to be a meeting of “Mammy the Rabbit”.

The exhibition at Lapnet Club in Harajuku has already ended, but the next at COMME CA COMMUNE in Shibuya is until the 21st of August. I recommend you to go to see it.

This project was come about from a problem consciousness of “how can designers and artists make a contribution to society?”. This was the first project and they seem to continue their activity to the future. This project surely evoked concern for the problems that the present world has. They must drill down on it with the second project. Though I’d forgotten the word “world’s underprivileged children” in daily life, I visited the web site of UNICEF for the first time after seeing this exhibition. I suddenly remembered there that this kind of information was often on TV, and I had a consciousness of the still continuing problem. Say, Julie Delpy had been doing activities like this in the movie “Before Sunset”.
