After working on the exhibition site, the artists spoke what was
on their minds:
Ingo
Gunther
As I have spoken on my feelings toward Demeter many times
at various public occasions, I would like to say that I am grateful
to be given an opportunity to create something different from
my other works. I would like to thank everyone on the Demeter
staff and all the people who were involved in the process of making
my works.
Winter
and Horbelt
Among many international exhibitions in which we have exhibited
before, Demeter has outstanding qualities, and everything was
prepared so that we could work efficiently. Even well-known international
art exhibitions do not offer this kind of well-organized support.
We would like to thank all the people in the Demeter Office, people
who supported us for the installation in the square of Obihiro
Station, and Yotsuba Milk Products Co., Ltd for all their support
and cooperation. We would like to invite the volunteer staff members
to Germany for the next project.
Casagrande
& Rintala
We have worked on our artworks by ourselves in most cases.
We have had volunteer supporters before, but we never had so much
help from any other supporters before. Dallas-Kalevala is our
most important work, and we are grateful to be given this opportunity.
Cine
Nomad
They have said to their friend in Tokyo that they have been very
satisfied with the exhibition, horserace track, and the Mongolian
tent in which they exhibited Three Windows. They also said that
it gave them a new perspective on Japan. They drew pictures to
explain about the exhibition. They said that they are very grateful
for all the support they received at Demeter. |
