Yoshiaki Kaihatsu
24 Mar - 09 Apr 2006
Development TV
Studio 3,
24.03 – 09.04.2006
For Yoshiaki Kaihatsu, art is not an object, but interaction. It permits itself to be used, demands dialogue, can transform itself into services and makes offers to the audience. Kaihatsu’s recipient is a user and not just an observer. This also applies to his project at Künstlerhaus Bethanien.
Here, Kaihatsu will appear as operator and reporter of a fictive TV station. In Studio 3, Yoshiaki Kaihatsu has erected a cabin with no door or windows that serves as a recording studio; the artist can only enter it from above, by means of a ladder. The events in Kaihatsu's 'Studio' are directly transmitted by camera onto monitors placed in the room, and before these the audience will experience a very personal model for the construction of media reality.
In addition, a table-tennis table is installed in the room. It remains unclear whether the artist will comment on the visitors’ table-tennis tournaments from within his recording cabin, or indeed what other programme developments his broadcasting concept will undergo.
At the opening event, a table-tennis performance with the motto Coffee & Milk & Sugar will take place, featuring Yoshiaki Kaihatsu, Yukihiro Taniguchi and Norio Takasugi.
Live Performance: At the opening, on March 24th, 25th and 26th an on 8th and 9th of April.
