KW: OK. Well, I hope to be there. JW: Yes. It will be fascinating. Then there is Gwanju, which is also interesting… it opens a couple of weeks before, with Mami Kataoka as one of the guest curators … KW: She was kind enough to spare the time to meet with me in January this year. We talked about Command N and Nakamura san, Arts Chiyoda 3331. I think Nakamura san is very interesting. As someone who is a reasonably well known Japanese artist, Japanese Pavilion 2000 etc., and now very much involved in work around social interaction and engagement. I have approached Japan Foundation, to see whether we can have him here, to speak in the UK, about his projects, and to look at that in wider terms of the public realm, arts and cultural regeneration projects, and to also have Lewis Biggs participate. JW: It would be interesting. KW: Thank you for taking the time to talk today.
