Tomo's Art blog: アートスペース エディション・シミズ, artspace Edition Shimizu 9, 4, 15

There are a lots of photos from artspace Edition Shimizu and the Shimizu landscape. So far I just uploaded the photos from Sep 4th, John Held lecture and the party day. Anybody who were there and or interested in, please click on the link to see the blog. 

Many of them are my own because Ryosuke Cohen san took me translating John Held lecture, but off course John is there in the most photos…

If anyone missed the past boxes, I have added photos on my flickr album and you can take a look here too.
