A new English language art guide has just been launched. Chin Music Press publishing and TABlog Editor Ashley Rawlings editing. I am not sure when it will be in the bookstores. It costs ¥3000. I contributed an essay on Tokyo art spaces. It is another much needed addition to English language information about contemporary art and culture in Tokyo, following on from the exploits of REALTOKYO, ArtIt Magazine, TAB and the 101 Art Fair etc.
Art Space Tokyo
I experienced a first yesterday, when a student at MAD showed me the latest copy of the Tower Records free magazine in which a musician called DJ Baku is interviewed. In the interview he referred to this blog and my post about Japan entering a second age of Sakoku (isolation). It's official - Tactical Museum is read by the Japanese hip hop DJ fraternity!
