SHOBOSHOBO ONSEN BUS TOUR

HAPPENINGText: Jo Phirip

MOBIUM (Lozi) produces mobile museum “MOBIUM” for his fieldwork of sound activity. He makes tours of Japan and does sound and art works at many areas. In this tour he was in charge of driving along middle to western Japan, and organizing the event. He is a really creative artist, but in this time, he concentrated on organizing the tour. I really appreciate hid hard work, driving and organizing the event!

Café Nafsha (Awajishima, Japan)

Many other artists joined in the events held at various places. I did an art performance in Awajishima.

I joined in Osaka (AManTo), Awajishima (Awajishima Art Center, Café Nafsha), Kyoto (Japonica), and Nagoya (Aichi Children’s Center). All of those places have a deep consideration for artists and audience. I’m truly happy to have those kinds of places in my country.

Café Nafsha is hosted by contemporary artist, Yasuhiro Ozaki. Everything in the place was made by his hands, Including the food and building. I really enjoyed it.

One night, during dinner at Awajishima art center, Medhi and Lucky Dragons started to draw. And then, following them, staff and other artists, everybody in the place started drawing. Many many artworks were created eventually. It made me recall my childhood. I was crazy about drawings. Pure times.
