Philippe’s exhibition is going well, he’s had lots of visitors and even managed to sell four pieces. This however was the scene the night before it started when he realised he was “So not ready!”The piece he is standing besdie is called Uwasa which means “Gossip”. In his hands he is holding “La Vielle” and below that we can just about see “Disassociation”.
I can’t remember what this one is called but it looks like a Moonface to me.
This one is called “Solitude is Better”. Whenever people tell Philippe about their relationship problems he says the same thing: “You see! This is why I am single. Solitude is better.” And then: “No! Really! It’s true!”
To celebrate Philippe’s exhibition Mandala played a live set at his house. Mandala are left to right: Kou, Eric and Rie.
There’s not a lot of space inside for an audience so Philippe took out his windows and people watched from the street. It provided a nice frame for the show.
Be Ward from the band South was sitting in the genkan (entryway) adding his own vocal clicks, whirs and other primal utterances and thumping the heck out of the tatami floor.

Philippe Goulier’s exhibition will run until the 9th of October.
