CAFE in Mito 2004
Communicable Action for Everybody 2004
Aug. 8 (Sun) to Oct. 3 (Sun), 2004
Closed on Mondays (except for Sept. 20), Sept 21 (Tue)

As its name implies, Communicable Action for Everybody (CAFE) refers to actions that allow everyone to communicate. It can be pronounced the same way as the word "cafe," which of course refers to a place or relaxation where people can talk together with a cup of coffee in hand, spending the time as they please. The CAFE in Mito Exhibition is accordingly a project that aims to create a place of exchange, like a cafe, where people can get together and intimate in a relaxed fashion through the medium of art. The artworks displayed in this exhibition will not merely be hung in the gallery for viewing, but will also be installed throughout the city of Mito, affording more people with the chance to experience art.
