Este espacio esta dedicado a exhibir parte de los registros, tanto de proyectos que se realizaron en el espacio de Pia Michelle (ubicado en la galería tres palacios), como proyectos en los que el equipo de Pia Michelle ha colaborado.

Todos los proyectos que aquí se muestran no son iniciativas propias, si no creaciones y propuestas germinadas y desarrolladas por otros artistas o grupos productores, pero impulsadas y llevadas a cabo en mancomunión con Pia Michelle.

ARAI Shin-chi
"Viva! Globalisation"
20th Oct. 2010
Bienal Deformnes 2010 at "Pia Michelle" Gallery in Valparaiso, Chile

My name is ARAI from Tokyo, Japan.
I was born in 1959 in Toyama city 600km from Tokyo.
So I am now 51 years old.
My house is facing a big road to Tokyo. In those days, my house was almost completely surrounded by rice fields and some petrol stations only.
Basically, my home town was very country side.

In our primary school days in Japan, we had school lunch with bread, powdered milk and some Japanese dishes.
And I had eaten neither bread nor milk at my home. We ate rice and miso soup at home.
The bread was made from expired flour and powdered milk also, both of which are used as livestock food in the United States.
The United States gov't sold them to the Japan gov't.
So we were familiar with bread and milk. Sometimes I asked my mother to buy bread and milk.
But she said that they were too expensive to buy for us.

I also liked Coca-Cola very much but I only could get it once or twice a year.
When our relatives visited us at New Years or some other festival, they gave me small money
And I ran to buy Coca-Cola.
My parents asked me why I liked Coca-cola, which tasted like medicine and was very expensive!

Those days TV spots always sung the "DEL MONTE tomato ketchup" song. We happily sung "DEL MONTE tomato ketchup" song without knowing what the ketchup was. After I knew what ketchup was, I liked it very much and ate it with everything. But my parents never used it.

In my house there was Ajinomoto, monosodium glutamate, on the kitchen table.
Glutamate was invented by Japanese company Ajinomoto in 1930's
Usually my family used it in almost all the dishes.
Ajiomoto was said to make people clever, especially children.

45 years ago, my home town was very country side. But nowadays there are no rice fields, only McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, 24 hr open Seven-Eleven and US style road side restaurants.

Also in our Japanese kitchen there is no Ajinomoto now. But all the food we buy from the store contains it already.

My father, who died 8 years ago, liked Kentucky Fried Chicken very much in his last years.
He also liked Japanese sake very much and drank sake and ate Kentucky Fried Chicken.
He drank sake with Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Now my mother aged 83 lives alone in my home town.
She told me that sometimes she does not like to make her meal so she buy bread and milk at 24 hr open Seven-Eleven,
For her lonely dinner.
