House of Ourselves: Noritoshi Hirakawa
Past exhibition
Overview
“House of ourselves“ by Noritoshi Hirakawa. His installation, a like a regular fleamarket consisting round tables filled and displayed with give away, was open to the public, where one could bring things in or take something out from the table as his own in Gallery VER. He is asking everybody to contribute household items they had no use anymore. It will be transformed it in a place of more than exchanges and in fact into a critical contribution of our high capitalistic society to change into unity of human existence. The place mutated and became a spot of participation, reaching people beyond the regular art folk and visitors. Not only art community in the site of the night market where attracted by the free display, also people from the visiting the market will pass by. Even people from anywhere over their shyness and happy to carry out things find in the the „House of ourselves“ contribution, reflection and experience of giving and taking for free as for confirming human-nature awareness beyond the control of institutions and education.
