All Welcome.
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 has serious problems with containing radioactive water, and preventing it from entering the biosphere. Artist Niwa Yoshinori has made another gentler intervention in transforming the water cycle.
I'm in Sapporo, Japan, undertaking a Curatorial Research Residency with S-AIR to find out about how the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant disaster has impacted on artists practices. I'm working with S-AIR to organise an exhibition and event to take place next summer alongside the Sapporo International Arts Festival 2014.
