What is "Luxurious Time and Space" for us ...? In the summer of 2010, On Site Lab Workshop 5 was conducted around the Asakusa area and TWS Aoyama under the theme of"Luxurious Time and Space." TWS Hongo is now having a document shop which will retrace this year's workshop.

The series of workshop "On Site Lab Program," which was founded by Tokyo Wonder Site in 2006, brings awareness to the importance of creators working on the challenges in the society and gathers creators and participants from a variety of genre and nationalities to find the possibilities to work on the same topic together. Having "Conversation with Art and Environment" as the main theme, we have invited tutors from both in/outside of Japan to facilitate workshops and lectures to discover the new horizons of knowledge.
The themes of the past four years have been: "+hand", "Waterfront Environment", "Global Warming and Forestation" and "Waste". This year, as a collaboration with GTS (Geidai, Taito, Sumida) Sightseeing Art Project and University of the Arts London, we investigated on a theme, "Luxurious Time and Space". Today, the society needs new cultural, economical and environmental values. The research in this summer took place in Taito Ward and Sumida-Ward, which was the center during the Edo Period and now draws attention for the Tokyo Sky Tree, of which construction will be completed in 2011, to reconsider its richness for the earth and the humanity.
In this document show at TWS Hongo, we will exhibit some documents from this summer's workshop. Also, works created as an outcome of the research and the workshop will be shown at the exhibition "Tokyo Void," one of programs from "GTS(Geidai Taito Sumida) Sightseeing Art Project 2010." During this session, there scheduled to be some lectures by various experts. For details, please refer to the information below.
