For a few days in winter, metaPhorest magnified underwater microscopic communities thriving in one of Tokyo’s most urban waterways. metaPhorest director Hideo Iwasaki shared some thoughts behind their intrinsically site-specific exhibition “Silent Neighbors” on the Shibuya River.
Pendant quelques jours cet hiver, metaPhorest nous a fait voir et entendre les communautés microscopiques qui habitent l’un des cours d’eau les plus urbains de Tokyo. Hideo Iwasaki, directeur de metaPhorest, nous raconte les méthodologies et les révélations de « Silent Neighbors », leur exposition in situ sur la rivière Shibuyagawa.

Chaque année depuis cinq ans, à la date anniversaire de la catastrophe qui a dévasté le Japon le 11 mars 2011 – le séisme qui a déclenché le tsunami à l’origine des multiples fusions nucléaires à Fukushima –, un groupe hétéroclite de personnes se réunit dans une maison traditionnelle en bois à Hirono pour surfer les vagues de la côte Pacifique, juste au sud des réacteurs désormais hors service. Entretien.

As the Kochi-Muziris Biennale is coming to its end, artist and curator Neal White explores the latest iteration of the Soil Assembly held from 20-25 January at the 6th Edition of the Biennale – titled, ‘For the Time Being’.
Each year for the past five years, on the anniversary of Japan’s devastating disaster of March 11, 2011 – the earthquake that triggered the tsunami that led to multiple nuclear meltdowns in Fukushima – an eclectic group of individuals gather at a traditional wooden house in Hirono and learn to surf the waves, just down the Pacific coast from the decommissioned reactors.

As the Feral Labs Network’s Rewilding Cultures programme (2022–2026) comes soon to an end, Makery publishes a series of essays drawn from the 2024 Feral Labs Node Book #2 and the upcoming #3 issue. In this essay @Lyndsey@mastodon.social Walsh takes on a personal approach to embodying ferality through the lens of art practice that engages with their lived reality and queer crip positionality.
