Miko Kuro’s Midnight Tea in Paris
MKMT is an undergound art happening which began as a monthly community event in downtown Vancouver. Participants, guests, featured artists, and MKMT staff collaborate to co-create a magical once-in-a-lifetime event. Each tea event is videotaped and photographed as part of a feature-length documentary and exhibition books. Guest artists from around the world have contributed their time and talents to this endeavor.
The project in it’s entirety is the conceptual art of Natasha Marin, who seeks to create anti-exclusive art experiences that honor the tradition of the Japanese Tea Ceremony. Please note: this project would not be possible without the significant contributions of all those who participate.
i wrote later : “For the Paris tea session, i slowly prepared mentally for it. I arrived, i opened my laptop, some unpredictable sounds were already loaded, i decided to play with them. I try to be aware of how sometimes things fits together and how much energy can be saved in the “organisation”, allowing a better concentration on what is “happening” there. It had to be done, it happened, it was there, i felt good and in resonance with it. Then i kind of became weirdly invisible after the tea, probably because my presence were hidden and in a cloudy headphone sonic trip. It was a strange moment, but i do love str/angels.”
