Activity hubs embody art projects undertaken in urban communities. People are drawn in by everyday activities unfolding there; new ideas are fleshed out before you know it. Activity hubs are the nerve center of a project, and also become its shop floor, canteen and event venue.
This time around our guests are the Iwasawa Bros., who have created unique spaces and furniture for co-creative activities. In recent times, they have been working on the creation of a new hub for Tokyo Artpoint Project initiative HAPPY TURN/Kozushima. Important approaches for the brothers are the “playful conception” of ideas, the use of existing things, and imparting abundant freedom of use to their creations.
Together with our informed and ingenious guests, we consider and discuss all aspects of hub creation, from searching for property and creating a space, to the mechanisms for forging communication.
