Relation-Blackboard Classroom/Relation-Farmer's Work

This was a fun room, though I didn't really get a chance to properly experience it. The artist was there on the day we visited. There were computers in each of those desks (about 20 in the room), and we were encouraged to leave messages on the walls, desks, boards, in chalk.

Relation-Blackboard Classroom/Relation-Farmer's Work

Year. 2003

The artist created the works with the themes “agriculture” and “culture” in two rooms of the No Butai Snow-Land Agrarian Culture Center, Matsudai. In the part of the installation that focuses on agriculture, he sealed seeds to the farming tools collected in the region. With culture as another theme, he focuses on education and turned the whole classroom into blackboards.
