"A.I.R Miyashita Park" / The Second Day 09:00-10:20 / 2010.03.16

"A.I.R(=Artist in Residence) Miyashita Park" project aims to make people's park by themselves through staying & making works in Miyashita Park.

Their first A.I.R project was done during 15-17 March. On 16, Shibuya Ward officers tried to blockade the northern part of the park. The one of the entrances was closed by fences temporarily, but the artists, residents of the park, supporters stopped them finally.

"A.I.R Miyashita Park" statement & schedule & contact are as follows.

＊＊Miyashita Park Artist in Residence＊＊
PARK IS OURS ! －Our actions make park.－
2010. March 15th – 17th

Now, Shibuya-ku Ward (Tokyo) and NIKE try to start converting Miyashita Park into “NIKE Park”. For this construction, they decided the half of park will be sealed off with the fences on March 16th and 17th.
What are they talking about? We have never accepted NIKE use the park for their business in the park, public area! Miyashita Park is not only for NIKE’s consumers, but OURS!

Thereupon, various artists are going to stay at Miyashita Park and execute their works (= Artist in Residence, A・I・R) from this spring. Through the many projects such as exhibition, symposium, music performance, movie show, workshop and cafe, we will think about what Living, Playing, Life, Whereabouts, Exclusion, Discrimination, Violence etc. are, and we do PARK.
