The second issue of [mazurek (mazureka)], a music and culture booklet that spotlights all the artists who are expected to make their mark on the stage, including those of the Chichibu avant-garde school. After commissioning new works from contemporary composers such as Yuji Takahashi and Yoichi Sugiyama, Sasakubo has been active in a wide range of genres of music in recent years. Sasakubo spent four years in Peru in the mid-1970s, where he collected and studied Andean folklore, and after returning to Japan in 2007, he started the "Chichibu Avant-garde School" based in his hometown of Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture. His range of expression has expanded to include not only performance, but also literature (poetry and novels), plastic arts (graphic scores), and finally video works (the 8mm film "Dog's Decorative Sound"), all of which have a unique feel that is unparalleled in the world. In this exhibition, Sasakubo, together with his comrades Daisuke Aoki and Yu Shimizu, investigates and unearths "culture" rooted in the Chichibu region, and develops it into a new form of artistic expression, the "Chichibu Avant-garde School. In addition to long interviews with Sasakubo and others involved, a short story "Silent Milk on the Train at Night" and the complete discography of Shin Sasakubo, this issue also includes art critic Noi Sawaragi's "Pulling Threads, Hitting Stones" and music critic Shinya Matsuyama's "The History of the Extraordinary Guitarist Shin Sasakubo". New series: The age of "Roentgen Geijutsu Kenkyujo" (Roentgen Art Laboratory) - Part 1: Man or Seven? Or Seven? About a quarter of a century ago, the contemporary art gallery "Roentgen Art Laboratory" opened in a corner of Omori, Ota-ku, Tokyo. It was a legendary alternative art space that hosted numerous events and parties, and was the main venue for young artists such as Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Housui Ameya (Technocrat) and Kazuhiko Hachiya, who have now become representative artists in Japan. This article is a memoir written by art critic Noi Sawaragi, who was present at the transition of the "Roentgen Art Institute" from its opening in the summer of 1990 to its relocation to Aoyama in 1995, and who was also involved as an exhibition organizer. At the same time, it is also a trial essay of "90s Culture" that re-examines the Japanese cultural scene just before the spread of the Internet and mobile communications.
