this strange scene at Chicago and Michigan Avenues must have been some sort of academic exercise or performance art piece...

This is the right-hand side of the two-page spread in my Moleskine notebook, turned reporter style. I don't think it turned out too badly. Staedtler triplus fineliner pen in a Moleskine notebook, using ideas from the Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting, a Chinese classic on painting landscapes and rock-forms.


Chinese Horizontal emphasis

Chinese Architecture

The most important is the emphasis on the horizontal axis, in particular the construction of a heavy platform and a large roof that floats over this base, with the vertical walls not as well emphasized. This contrasts Western architecture, which tends to grow in height and depth. Chinese architecture stresses the visual impact of the width of the buildings. The halls and palaces in the Forbidden City, for example, have rather low ceilings when compared to equivalent stately buildings in the West, but their external appearances suggest the all-embracing nature of imperial China. This of course does not apply to pagodas, which, in any case, are relatively rare. These ideas have found their way into modern Western architecture, for example through the work of Jørn Utzon

December 4: The Right to Live in the City: Struggles in Osaka documented by NDS
history of art and design
Image by uniondocs
In Osaka, the way of life shaped during the time of high economic growth is manifestly collapsing. The day-workers who have been made to serve as a convenient labor force for capital are losing jobs, while the large-scale housing complexes that were built in the suburbs for the middle class are being bought up by major developers, and the aging residents are coercively evicted. Meanwhile the communities built in parks by those who have been evicted are violently removed by the municipal government.

NDS (Nakazaki-cho Documentary Space) is a group of documentarians, based in Kamagasaki Osaka, the town with the biggest population of day-workers in Japan. NDS has been documenting urban struggles, at the same time participating in struggle as activists. This evening’s film is a document of the struggles of the people against the eviction and the loss of living space. The scenes you will see are of events in Osaka, but are also common in the cities across the world, being in constant and intensifying confrontation with the Empire.

Special thanks to Japan Society.

Nagai Park Elegy by Leo Sato

In 2007 the Municipal Government of Osaka was about to coercively remove the residents of Nagai Park, with the pretext of beautification of the city for the World Championship of Athletics. The residents and supporters began organizing various actions to protect their living space, including a theater performance at the site.
