AKIRA
WAKUI - Born in Nagasaki
Japan.
Kyoto Seika University, Graduated in Art
and Design Major. Since April 2001, started
to work on art projects.
"Since
I was little, I was surrounded by
TV and comic books. In my eyes,
there were always many different
characters making appearances and
I was invited to their imagery world.
And even when the TV show ended,
or finished reading the comic book,
the character existed in my head
and the story continued on..."

project : Mark Your Spot |
| Place
your "Mark" at ZAKKA shop and space |
| |
|
|
Thank you for supporting ZAKKA for the past
great 10 great years. ZAKKA has started new
project called STK project:
Mark Your Spot. The concept of the project
is simple, to represent artists and designers
by placing a "marking"
in our store. We are creating a collection of
stickers
to be exhibited in the front section of our
store. Which is represented many artists and
deisgners like yourself, who supported us all
these years.
We believe stickers
are another great medium to represent artist
and designers. Sticker can send out many messages,
symbols and represent artists and designers
in easy and affordable, yet meaningful ways.
Just Come on in
and drop-off your
sticker. You can hand
over
your sticker to any Zakka associate. Also, you
can purchase the
stickers or sell your
stickers at the store. For more info,
click here.

"Understanding
the world as a big lab helps to detect the reaction
to each action. We are living a special moment
in history - This scenario calls for action.
DOMA tries to interfere in ALL the information
channels available. Working with the same elements
as them with a bit of irony... thus sparking
change in people's perception;
offering another point of view. The process:
Cross ideas. Action-Reaction."

Open Reception : Friday Sep 10. 7-9pm@Zakka

A series of art installations, videos, street
campaigns, stencils, a book, dolls, posters
and more...will be featured at Doma collective
