			w#75 Rabbits in the Counter During the exhibition, all receptionists at HOSOMI Museum put on animal nose masks as my artwork. 展覧会会期中、動物の鼻を付けてくれた細見美術館受付嬢 HOSOMI Museum, Kyoto,JAPAN 細見美術館　（京都） 2002



Rabbits in the Counter This artwork is an investigation of the sense of an unexpected gap. During the exhibition, the artist requests that all the receptionists have to use animation-esque animal nose. If the situation of the place were more conservative, the gap would evoke the situation more difficult to tolerate laughing. The exhibition of the artwork was held at Hosomi Museum, Kyoto, where it owned a lot of masterpieces of national arts such as cultural assets of Buddhist art and Rinpa. OKAMOTO Mitsuhiro English translation: KIBUKAWA Ei (eitoeiko). Rabbits in the Counter 作品は、展覧会期間中、受付嬢たちにアニメチックな「動物の鼻」を付けて応対してもらうというものである。保守的な度合いが強い場所ほど、可笑しさも増す。写真は、重要文化財の仏画や琳派など、日本美術の名品を展示する、京都の細見美術館での"展示"風景である。 (週刊金曜日2006年10月13日号より　連載「珈琲破壊」038)
