Monthly Art Magazine Bijutsu Techo features Emiko Kasahara's"PINK #1"(P.77) and Ai Yamaguchi's one person show in L.A. "sukutoko" (2003).
 

A workshop was held at Edition Works for four curators and twenty volunteers from the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT) . As it is generally difficult to understand how prints are made just by reading about the techniques in a book, the workshop demonstrated both the processing and printing. Please see the page OTHER ACTIVITIES for further information on this and other workshops and lectures.
