HAKOtte?

a project by Sue Hajdu
April 29 – May 03, 2008
Sendai, Japan
HAKOtte? is a community-based relational project that took place in the public space of a shopping street in downtown Sendai, Japan. Over a 5-day period the artist created an economy of barter, exchanging boxes, and stories attached to boxes, with local Sendai people. Later, whilst on residency, this live project was re-worked into a set of narratives, presented here as a website. Many of the boxes are from the artist’s life in Saigon. Reading through the website might be akin to viewing a portrait of Saigon, particularly for those Hanoi Grapevine readers who are familiar with that city.

a little blah blah (albb) is an artists’ initiative that since 2005 has operated as a platform for contemporary art through a wide range of channels including projects, exhibitions & events, screenings, talks, a residency program, internships and an open-access archive of art books & catalogues. Our program has evolved in a pioneering spirit, in response to the gaps and needs of the Saigon art scene.
