Had a great discussion about what the artwork of Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale cannot convey about their intimate relationship with landscape with farmers in front of a traditional Japanese fireplace in the Snow Country 🥶🤤. RECOMS

This time, group discussions (and snow picnic) with farmers about landscape in front of the magnificent snow landscape. Some of them just used the surrounding landscape to illustrate how they look at it and what captured them! RECOMS

"Farmers are increasingly rethinking their business models to include delivering their products straight to consumers, while those who have been doing so for years have seen a spike in traffic with people stuck at home" ow.ly/9T7950z4Zl5

How can #art supplement the limitation of words when conveying research results? Check out my recent blog post for RECOMS about my experience of working with a Japanese artist to illustrate the emotional and embodied experiences of Japanese farmers Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale.

Super interesting article on “the everyday aesthetics of location”. How are the aesthetic judgements tied to the inhabitation of space and, in this case, the exclusionary potential of ‘ways of looking’ at such spaces and at the social relations which exist within them.

This is by prolific Chiharu Shiota 奥能登国際芸術祭. What you can’t see is how proud the local and elderly volunteer was, almost emotional explaining to the visitors the unique salt production technique in the area - art making - and its connection to what Shiota has made. 🙏🇯🇵
