Trolls in the Park 2012 - Connecting Green and Urban Space

Participating artists, Momoi Daishi elementary school students, and the community together put a lot of effort to create works. The works are exhibited as installations. The tie between the community and the artists are getting stronger every year.

  • ディスロケイト / dislocate

    Date:
    Every weekend of October and November

    Place:
    Shinmachi Shotengai, Yuyu Zempukuji kan

    The attractiveness of the town you live in and the possibility to change it's environment are often overlooked in everyday life. Things in front of you are thought as trivial as we repeat everyday routines. It is difficult to notice the attractiveness of things. In this workshop, you will be connected with people from different generations or countries. Through intergenerational exchange, cross-cultural exchange, and international exchange and creativity, we will look at the town with whole new perspectives.
    We`ll re-imagine the place you are familiar with, and in the end, we`ll reflect on things we come to see with new perspectives. This tendency to replace will probably expand more and more.

  • [MOTOKOTOBA] Making a statement! Momoi Yonsho Workshop & Exhibition
    星 素子 / Motoko Hoshi

    A theme is given to the fifth graders of Momoi Yonsho. They create their own "Motokotoba", as well as "Motokotoba" for Momoi Yonsho. This is a workshop which expresses images and worldviews with students using their brains, minds and bodies, vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. I hope it will become an encouraging statement for hopeful young children. I would be delighted if this workshop will help them expand their imagination and create new perspectives.
    ※This workshop will be combined and exhibited together with "Sora wa Ana kanmuri" (a device to look at the sky).

  • A workshop intended for third graders
    [Zempukuji Heisei Yokai Hyakuwa] 100 stories of Zempukuji Heisei period goblins
    河井聖子 / Kawai Seico

    What if there are goblins around Zempukuji?
    What if you have already met them?
    What kind of goblins exist at present Heisei period?
    This is a workshop which transforms "mysterious experiences" children experienced into goblins.

  • School Backpack Art in Momoi Daishi elementary school 2012
    村山修二郎 / shujiro murayama

    Work at Momoi Daishi elementary school in Oct. 2012

    Performance
    Nov. 2012
    Children's commute during the session
    Same as 2011, this is a project in which Momoi Daishi elementary students draw pictures on their school backpack covers and exhibit them when they commute to school during the session of Troll's Mori. Having art work on their back means having a fun in their everyday lives and I believe that the neighbors and parents of the children will be able to see what children see, feel, and think from the artworks they draw. I would also like to set the theme on nature around us and hope to bring about awareness how nature and art culture exist and how rich they are in our every day lives.

  • Billy Styles / ビリー・スタイルズ

    In my workshop, I produce windmills and solar panels using PET bottles and recyclable materials in Momoi Daishi elementary school.

    高島亮三 / TAKASHIMA Ryozo

    Everything 0 yen sale is a proposal of "a swap-meet" for transferring disused items that anyone can join. With the help of Momoi Daishi elementary school students, their parents and neighbors, I`d like to set up 'Everything 0 yen Shopping Arcade' in Momoi Daishi elementary school district during the session of Troll's Mori.
