Aran knitting hat conference 2004 Installation fire place, participants Gallery HIRAWATA, Kanagawa 1 2 3
	There is a conference but no means, no aim, and no progress. I have a purpose to open the conference. It is important thing for me to open the conference and invite many people. If someone is going to open the conference after my place, it is no problem. The name of this exhibition come from Aran island, I was deeply impressed in this place. I hoped to share this experience, and then I thought about how to share this deep emotion. In the beginning I have sent knit hats for five people who have never met. Because they have not met, they might encounter each other on the street wearing the same knit hat but they probably has not any greetings. When I open the conference, they will see each other for the first time. The conference will be a place of encounter, such a place that exists everywhere, but it is very hard to find the place. I try creating such a miracle chance. And I let people notice how lucky we are.
