As a pre-event for the
exhibition, from August 1~15th I curated and produced the TOKYO ART JUNGLE TRAIN: an 11-car train from the world's busiest train line--the
East Japan Rail Yamanote line--running in normal service daily from
05:00 until 25:00 (schedule varying from day to day). Eight artists
and artist groups from the Tokyo Art Jungle used the train as an installation
space, utilizing areas normally used for advertising as well as those
without precedent in Japan (e.g., floors and ceilings). This work
was easily one of the most public "public art" projects
ever staged in Tokyo, bringing contemporary art to well over a million
people during its run.
