This year, we focused on the exhibition at the ZAIM Basement, four artists featured who were recommended by Mizuki Endo, Daisuke Miyadu and Takahiro Kaneshima. Especially the artist Adrian Paci was firstly shown here.
The exhibition venue in the basement used to be a detention cell so that there are special atmosphere. The exhibition was comprised Antenna for biggest cell, Adrian Paci and Second Planet, both showed humorous pieces related to art and institution were in the next cell. At the corridor, Chinese artist Song Dong's work was installed.

On 9th of December, the talk of an artist Koichi Tabata and a collector Daisuke Miyadu was held. The talk is about the collection of contemporary art from Mr. Miyadu and about own art works from Tabata, both were very interesting and evoked many questions from the audience.

We believe that the open library as one of important missions of moving image archive, and would like to keep annually. Thank you for participated artists, galleries and recommenders: Mr.Ichihara, Mr. Endo, Mr. Kaneshima and Mr. Miyadu.

An exhibition of Antenna, Japanese artists' collective, will simultaneously be held at the basement of ZAIM. Advent of Jappy is the story of Japanese traditional rituals oscillated between illusion and reality. In the piece, yellow mice-looking stuffed animals perform fake rituals __reminiscent of rituals stereotyped as ancient Japanese tradition.

Adrian Paci, born '69, was brought up and educated of the Arts in Albania. Due to their nation's political upheaval, he and his family migrated to Italy. In his works, Paci portrays his family and Albanian people by juxtaposing them in abstract sequences from daily life. Twisted with irony, Paci takes to view seemingly ordinary subjects . The identity as an immigrant, the close-knit bond of his family, Paci's personal stories, recollection of fellow migrants' memoirs and real-life experiences _ such elements, together, work to convey Paci's discreet love for his family in a subtle manner.
