Canon's ARTLAB presents "LOVERS" by Teiji Furuhashi and "frost frames" by Shiro Takatani ARTLAB holds an exhibition from May 10 to 21, 1998 at SPIRAL, Tokyo, consisting of "LOVERS," 1994 collaborative work by artist Teiji Furuhashi with ARTLAB, and a new work by Shiro Takatani, leading member of the art group Dumb Type. After shown at ARTLAB4(1994), "LOVERS" has been invited and shown at 11 venues in 7 countries in U.S. and Europe from 1995 to 1997, starting from "Video Spaces" at New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). "LOVERS" to be shown this time is its international version, renovated from the original version, for the first time in Japan. Furuhashi was the leading member of Dumb Type, and gave numerous outstanding performances and installations before he passed away three years ago. LOVERS is his first full-scale solo and posthumous work at the same time. Since there were many requests to exhibit the work again, ARTLAB planned a special exhibition to show the installation along with a new video installation by Shiro Takatani, who is one of the collaborators in the production of LOVERS. The theme of LOVERS is a relationship of love, generated along the borders, for example, between humans, human and body, and humans and information. In the work, filmed images of life-size humans appear in a dim space. The movements of visitors in the space are perceived by sensors and affect the course of movement of the images. On the other hand, "frost frames," depicts a world where the contrast of projected images mutually turn "whiteout." <ARTLAB Exhibition "LOVERS"(Teiji Furuhashi) / "frost frames"(Shiro Takatani)> date: May 10 - 21, 1998 11:00-20:00 location: SPIRAL, Tokyo(5-6-23 Minami-aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo) *free of charge Organized by Canon ARTLAB cooperation: Wacoal Art Center Artists' Profile: <Teiji Furuhashi> Born in 1960.

Paulay Ede u. 60. International Installation Festival 1998 Opening exhibition: 17-31 March, 1998 "Installation as an artistic medium (from application to landscape correction) with its many forms is as widespread as performance (from actions to events). The original meaning of the word installation, which latently has always been there, now gets more and more emphasis in a new view of art. Installation, in open systems, in open works, or in "open minds", means the implementation of something, that is, the beginning of something. In this perpetual change one can only regard perpetual starting over, or installation as a constant. At the heart of this shift thus lies our unbroken attention to changes, that is, our responsiveness to new points of installation." (Gy=F6rgy Gal=E1ntai) Part of the opening exhibition is the reconstruction of the Budapest installation of =0B"Po=EFpo=EFdrome =E0 Espace-temps R=E9el No. 1 / Real Spa= ce-Time Poipoidrom No. 1" =0Bby Robert Filliou and Joachim Pfeufer from 1976. "The Poipoidrom is a functional relationship that links thinking, acting, and communication. A minimal Poipoidrom can be a chair, a workbench or an open mind." (J. Pfeufer, 1972) In other parts of the exhibition documents of installations will be installed. They may be - from the perspective of art history: Merz-construction, fictional and virtual architecture, quasi-construction, collage, assemblage, environment, landscape correction, land art, etc.; from the perspective of genre: poetic, music, sound, light, fragrance, performance and video, etc. installations; from the perspective of view: improvisational, conceptual, intermedial and multimedial, etc.;.from a social perspective: cultural, social, political, commercial, religious, scientific, technological, etc. installations. =46easible new projects will be realized in accordance with the given spacia= l conditions by the "installators" of P60 throughout 1998. Documents about installation that are preserved in Artpool Archive will be presented for the first time together with the new stuff. Videos of the events and theoretical lectures will be available for viewing retrospectively throughout the year. The evaluation of the project can be followed via the Internet: http://www.artpool.hu/P60/installation/=0C1998: The Year of Installation at Artpool Installation Project 98 International Invitation Artpool invites all installators, artists, networkers, documenters to take part in this project, to inform others so as to be informed.
