* "Book" is printed matter as a part of OrNamenTTokYo project.

To celebrate OrNamenTTokYo Book we gather at NICA, Nihonbashi Institute of Contemporary Arts, an art center in Odenma-cho (Nihonbashi), at 3pm, hoping you can join this coming-together of voices, cultures, geographies, and ideas: The gathering continues the tradition of OrNamenTTokYo events with a multifaceted program.

The Great East Japan Earthquake happened on March 11, 2011. In November that year, two female theorists, artist Verina Gfader and architect Merce Rodrigo García, travelled from London to Tokyo in order to stage OrNamenTTokyo, a tripartite event in collaboration with Emiko Kato, the Director of Art Autonomy Network [AAN]. OrNamenTTokyo reflected on the in/significance of the ‘common’ in Japan.

This book is not a document or archive of the OrNamenTTokYo events as such. It is yet another format in order to articulate an ongoing enquiry which seeks to examine the city by way of conceptually demobilizing, reediting, and reconstructing it in a multidisciplinary setting. OrNamenTTokYo Book gathers critical contributions by many talented writers from different fields and diverse cultural-geographical backgrounds.
Five years from OrNamenTTokYo this gathering around the publication of the book seeks to extend that initial enquiry by pinpointing the continuing–and recent–ambiguities that surround the notion of publicness. OrNamenTTokYo Book Launch endeavours to retrace the site of the public through the complex and composition of individuals, wills, practices, norms, policies, regulations and rights that sustain today’s cities.
