Miwa Kojima presented Happy Hour, by detailing the evolution of this project, in its multiple incarnations across various cities and countries – #1 “Volkestuinen” (Rotterdam, The Netherlands, 2003); #2 “Fairytales” (London, UK, 2003); #3 “Underground” (London, UK, 2004), #4 “Japan” (Tokyo, Kyoto and Nagoya, Japan, 2004); #5 “Simple Word” (Balchik, Bulgaria, 2005). Each event was staged differently, adapting to local contexts, whereas always having a lace tent as central piece and collecting stories about happiness through interviews and writings sessions, while sharing food and drinks. Kojima’s presentation connected the project’s history with its 6th iteration “Around the Table” at La Centrale. Despite long intervals between each event, the project acquired a timeless quality as the artist interpreted its journey not in a linear order but as constellations of stars.
