Project in Progress

 

On September 13, 2002 Mark again visited the University Museum and various places in the Campus and continued his research on the exhibits. In the afternoon, at the Koisikawa Annex, a general meeting was held with the participation of the artist, students and other members of the seminar on museum technology, those who were in charge of the exhibition's planning, catalogue editing, recording, documenting, designing and PR as well as persons from the co-organizing body and representatives from the sponsor. All the participants of the exhibition gathered together for the first time and discussed the title: “MICROCOSMOGRAPHlA", the overall plan. assignments, procedures and other matters. The next day in response to the artist's wish, a visit to Tsukiji Fish Market and the Kasai Rinkai Aquarium was planned together with students. Mark Diorh who was born in a port town in Massachusetts, is an ardent fish lover and fully enjoyed the tour in the Fish Market showing a kind of "Asian Chaos."
