About the artwork

A group engaging in city regeneration projects based in Yokohama, BankART, opened a new base in Tsumari. “We want to renovate an ordinary house into an ordinary house. It could have an outdoor kitchen. It could have an outdoor bath. We want to leave each and every part as they are. Want to leave each and every part to the hands of the artists. We want to make it a house where everyone, anyone, can spend an ordinary time.” [From a memo sent by Osamu Ikeda (BankART) to Masashi Sogabe (MIKAN)]
