Co-ownership of Action: Trajectories of Elements

The Japan Pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia presents “Co-ownership of Action: Trajectories of Elements,” curated by Kadowaki Kozo. The project involves dismantling an old wooden house into its individual parts and elements, transporting them to Venice, and reconstructing the house in a new configuration with the addition of modern materials (such as scaffolding pipe, mesh, and blue tarps). The architects working on the project are collaborating with artisans and researchers to include improvisation and creative processes on site as part of the exhibition.

The issue of incessant mass consumption in contemporary society has been further intensified by movement, the ability to move large volumes of things quickly and inexpensively. Moving a postwar house that has outlived its usefulness in Japan to Venice and exhibiting it in a different context gives a completely new existence to the old materials that had once been part of a very ordinary house. By shifting the focus from movement for the purpose of consumption to movement for the purpose of reconstruction, the exhibition provides a significant stimulus for thinking about the issues associated with mass consumption, about the sustainability of architecture, and about how new architecture should be approached.

About the Commissioner The Japan Foundation is Japan’s only institution dedicated to carrying out comprehensive international cultural exchange programs throughout the world. The Japan Foundation was established in October 1972 as a special legal entity supervised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In October 2003, it was reorganized as an incorporated administrative agency. The Japan Foundation has a 25 overseas offices in 24 countries, to cultivate friendship and ties between Japan and the world, the Japan Foundation creates global opportunities to foster friendship, trust, and mutual understanding through culture, language, and dialogue.

Curator’s statement Your actions are not yours alone. Any act, however trivial, sits atop an accumulation of countless acts that arose from your interactions with someone else. Therefore it can never be said that what you do belongs solely to you.

This exhibition consists of an extremely ordinary Japanese wooden house. A country at the forefront of the world in population decline, Japan is awash in houses that have outlived their usefulness and sit there awaiting demolition. The house we shipped to Venice is one of them.

However, the house did not arrive in Venice intact. Having been dismantled to fit into containers for shipping, its various elements found new uses, repurposed into objects and structures appropriate for the garden of the Japan Pavilion, with roof elements being converted into benches, and so on. To reassemble the fragmented house on site into diverse configurations, the architects have engaged the skills and ideas of local and Japanese artisans, giving new life to each of the elements.

Elements that were not used in the garden are on display inside the Pavilion itself, which serves as a warehouse for the project. After its initial construction, the house underwent numerous renovations and expansions over the years that altered it in complex ways. Arranging its elements by era thus provides a clear picture of how the house contains the strata of successive periods in the history of postwar Japanese housing. For example, the earliest elements were primarily handmade, but as time progressed these were replaced by mass-produced members, a visible manifestation of the dramatic changes that took place in Japan’s construction industry over the course of the life of the house.

Upon viewing this thick accumulation of strata with one’s own eyes, it should be evident that the project architects have done only the slightest overwriting of that history. The trajectory that the house has taken in its long journey through time and space to arrive at this place is proof of how our actions are ineluctably rooted in the past and linked to the future.

Updates

When the exhibition was delayed for a year as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, curator Kozo Kadowaki and others launched a new curator-organized project associated with the Japan Pavilion exhibition.

The aim was to 1) make good use of materials and elements after the Biennale, and 2) provide new ways for people to participate in the exhibition. This was achieved through an upcycle project to create products using materials such as wood from the house being transported to Venice, making the products available to project supporters through a crowdfunding process that facilitated a new way of participating in the exhibition and the addition of new trajectories.

After the exhibition, the house will move on again. There are plans in motion for it to be used as part of a community facility for residents of an apartment complex in the suburbs of Oslo. Funds raised by crowdfunding will also play a significant part in this and other post-Biennale initiatives.

The crowdfunding process was launched on August 11, 2020, and closed on October 1, 2020 after raising 4,825,888 yen from 259 supporters. Find out more: https://ift.tt/3vXN1SU

DREAM part 2

Once Kana had left the group, Dream went through a re-vamp of image and music style that could fit the remaining five members, all in their 20’s. During 2011, Dream also became the chore of a new super-group they formed with their performance sister units (Happiness and Flower), to represent the female version of EXILE’s DNA.

Since they had joined LDH, the group’s dynamics changed a little bit by giving less main vocals and spotlight to Kana, while Shizuka’s lines increased. Sayaka’s main vocals also decreased, when Aya’s grew longer (and she even got to lead a couple of title tracks along with Shizuka). 

Breakout shows perfectly the new dynamics with Shizuka and Aya as main vocals. This was one of the first title tracks lead by Aya, whom used to be more a dancer and a sub-vocalist for shorter lines.

Reality is one of the songs that the 7-members line up re-did from the 3-members line up that included Sayaka in the main vocals, replacing Mai Matsumuro.

Ever since Mai Matsumuro graduated in 2002, the main vocals had always been Kana and Sayaka (and until she left, also Yu). Even when they got vocal roles assigned, under the management of LDH they became more similar to EXILE, however, with the new version of 5 members, it seemed there was an intention to equal the lines a little bit more.  

Lady Soldier is one of the up-beat songs that places the weight of the main vocals on Shizuka and Aya, while the other members provide harmonies for both, the chorus and the lead verses.

Their style would also suffer a renewal as 5 members. Opposed to the edgy and cool image from the Hands Up days (that was like an upgrade from their DRM era), the new line-up would offer a softer, bubblier and cuter image, still trying to keep it glamorous, taking on the fashion most young Japanese female wore at the time, as well as reminding of the Hime-Gyaru style (Princess style for Japanese street fashion urban tribes known as Gyaru).

Above, the edgy image they had when they were still idols and 7 members. Below, the transition to a more mature look for their DRM days.

Below, the image created for their re-vamp as 6 members, for the Musha Shugyo that started the path for the Hands Up! era.

The music for their Hands Up! Album had productions by the likes of ArmySlick (Ev’rybody Alright!, Naked), Miki Watanabe (My Way ~ULala~, Breakout),UTA (Perfect Girls), or STY (To The Top), almost all the songs had a Hip-hop/R&B sound mixed with some electronic and dance elements. Although the album also had bubblier and softer songs like HIMAWARI (by Jam-9 and ArmySlick, produced by h-wonder), Dear My Friend (by Masaaki Asada) or GLORY (by Tooru Watanabe), the song that had been chosen for their re-vamp as a 5 member group, Dreaming Girls was even bubblier and cuter, although it tried to keep some Bubble Gum R&B in the instrumental production.

Dreaming Girls was an attempt to find them a new audience, but the single’s release date kept being pushed back till November 2011, while their fans kept questioning the potential of the song and the new image.  

At the end, the single got cancelled but got added as a b-side to E-Girls’ debut single Celebration! (December 28th 2011). 

Although the song was used for a Samantha Thavassa (a purses and accessories brand) commercial, the attempt of re-launching them got dismissed and switched by the debut of the mega-unit, E-Girls. This was something that didn’t felt quite well with most of their fans that questioned the girls being used to help promote the newest groups; while others were skeptical but acknowledged the trouble Dream had about getting themselves back in the entertainment world with relevant sells and results.

The video even had a secon version with images of the girls recording.

What we know nowadays, from the remaining members’ interviews at different media (Gekkan EXILE magazine, Another Sky TV show by Nippon TV, etc.) is that for the girls themselves it was a tough decision to make. Discarding the attempt to be re-introduced as a 5 member group, girly and attempting to target younger audiences, to start doing activities as E-Girls with their sister (and way younger) units, was a huge decision to take and something they didn’t feel right with most of the times.

At the end, all what they wanted was for the group to succeed as Dream, however, this was just the beginning of a new chapter for both, LDH and the female groups. Despite all the hesitations, the girls went along with it and sacrificed the opportunity to try to re-start things just as Dream.

Nowadays, one would say they had it easy. But taking Dream’s own trajectory from a group that wasn’t at the top but was promising (not even the 3 member original line-up was that successful and popular, they had a couple of hits and a large enough fandom) to a group that decided to take on the streets to avoid being dissolved; Swallowing in the fact the results of Hands Up! Weren’t enough to continue from there, deciding whether to push for another chance as 5 members or just accept the proposal of joining forces with two younger groups, mustn’t been easy for them. Is not like they hadn’t experienced something similar before, as with Girls’ Box, all what they got, was having just one member being pushed forward: Yu Hasebe, when the vocal and dance girl units’ trend died (and they failed to transition to a mature group), the group was dropped from the label.

The beginning of the journey with E-Girls’ seemed to keep presenting each group as an individual piece, but with no releases of their own to look forward, while both Happiness and Flower were having singles scheduled, the future as Dream didn’t look that promising to them.

That fact was probably one of the last reasons that Sayaka needed to take the decision to leave the group. She had barely regained some lines to sing, but probably facing a period when they would just work as E-Girls, wasn’t what she wanted. She chose to graduate in March 31st and later on joined a stage company to work as a musical actress.  Her graduation wasn’t pleasant for most of the older fans, seeing it as the result of LDH’s neglecting of her vocal talent. Sayaka leaving didn’t help much with the fans accepting the whole E-Girls’ plan once the second single for the mega-group was announced.

Truth is, even if she’d stayed, she’d spent a while just doing activities with E-Girls, but no one can guess how the next re-launching attempt would’ve been. We can’t even know for sure if she wouldn’t be picked to become one of the mega-group’s main members, although LDH pushing her aside on the previous releases for Dream must give us the idea she wouldn’t. But then, we’d like to remind our readers how Ami wasn’t even granted main lines (in title tracks) during the whole Hands Up! Era.

Japan creates exhibition from dismantled old house at Venice Architecture Biennale

Japan has sent the dismantled remains of a 65-year-old house as its contribution to the Venice Architecture Biennale, staging an exhibition that explores the potential for material reuse.

Titled The Co-ownership of Action: Trajectories of Elements, the exhibition on the terrace of the Japanese Pavilion features benches made from the old house's roof and screens constructed from its exterior walls.

Old house walls form exhibition screens at the Japan Pavilion

Inside, yet-to-be-reused elements of the house are lined up on display as if in a warehouse.

Prompted by the 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale theme, How will we live together?, curator Kozo Kadowaki and his team wanted to explore sustainable alternatives to two waste-generating architectural practices: house demolitions and international exhibitions.

The team's answer was to rescue materials from the scrap heap in a way that honoured and documented their past, while also giving them a future. It sees this as a "co-ownership of architectural production" generated through movement and reconstruction.

Material from the old house is stored in the Pavilion as in a warehouse

The team is made up of architects Jo Nagasaka of Schemata Architects, Ryoko Iwase of Studio Iwase, Toshikatsu Kiuchi of Toshikatsu Kiuchi Architect, Taichi Sunayama of Sunayama studio, and Daisuke Motogi of DDAA.

"Over the past few years, while participating in the Salone del Mobile Milano and other international events, I have been questioning the way international exhibitions should be held, especially when people have the tools such as Instagram and Facebook to communicate with the world whenever they want," said Nagasaka, who is the founder of Schemata Architects.

Parts of the old house have been made into benches

"Of course, it's important to actually see the works to scale with our own eyes, but in this day and age I personally think it is more suitable to inquire individually if you find specific works you are interested in, and you can visit the place where the works were actually created and have one-on-one conversations with artists or designers," he added.

It was while considering these questions that the curator invited Nagasaka to participate in the Venice Biennale exhibition, commissioned by The Japan Foundation.

"As a member of the participants, I told him that if I were to be involved, I would like to create an exhibition that would make people understand the meaning of moving," Nagasaka said. "This idea was well received and shared by everyone."

"In addition, we all agreed that if we were going to use new materials, we should make an exhibit using scrap materials that were being destroyed and thrown away."

The exhibition is made almost entirely of material from the old house

The materials they found to rescue are from the 65-year-old Takamizawa residence, a house that was set for demolition in front of Kadowaki's own home. They named it after the property's first owner.

The building contained layers of material from different periods generated by decades of renovations and expansions — developments that are documented as part of the Co-ownership of Action exhibition.

The Pavilion's workshop is experimenting with a circular saw lathe

The materials also have a future after the biennale, as there are plans for them to be used as part of a community facility for residents of an apartment complex in the suburbs of Oslo, Norway.

As well as the exhibition space in the courtyard and the material storage area inside, the Japanese Pavilion incorporates a workshop, which the team is using to explore the potential to reuse wood for furniture production.

The architects have shaped the old posts into interesting forms

Having devised a lathe process using a circular saw, they have shaped wood posts from the house into interesting forms, while leaving parts of them raw and untouched.

"The aged posts and beams, the distortions and scratches on them, all appear as rich expressions," said Nagasaka.

The Co-ownership of Action: Trajectories of Elements will be on display in the Giardini as part of the Venice Architecture Biennale, which takes place from 22 May to 21 November 2021.
