Schedule

13:00 - 18:00 OPEN STUDIO
15:30 - 17:00 GUEST TALK "The goat and the monk" Manuel Tardits (Architect, MIKAN)

GUEST TALK

In the island of Saku, in the bay of Chita, which is losing its population Mikan was asked to remake 4 Hokora of the original 88 steps of the local pilgrimage that celebrate the famous buddhist monk Kobo Daishi. These four works, between dream and reality, are spread all over the island and intended with previous art works by other artists to attract tourists for reviving the island. In my own proposal I added to the hokora or shelter for the statue of the monk, a shelter for a neighboring billy goat. This intended to show the link between spirit and materiality.
