hyslom, an artist group, has been periodically exploring three locations that have undergone changes in appearance: a huge new commuter town development that's being built on a reshaped mountain, the campus of their college alma mater, and an industrial waste processing plant that was built in a rural area of their hometown.

At each location, hyslom creates happenings, using their bodies to match the characteristic conditions of that place on that day, and recording the memories of their physical sensations and consciousness in a process called "Documentation of Hysteresis,"* which they are developing as a series, through the use of video, photographs, journals, sketches, and other media. The group aims to bring to the surface the features, systems, natural phenomena, and other things that have disappeared or been hidden as cities and towns transform, and to consider the state of the cities and towns where they currently live.

*Hysteresis is a physics term describing the phenomenon in which both past forces and current forces affect the state of a system. Even if the system returns to its starting position, the path it took will determine its final state.

For the first part of each night, there will be a screening of a piece that documents two and a half years of visits to one of the three locations, the new town development. For part two on Saturday, April 14, there will be an improvised performance featuring Osamu Jareo (choreographer and dancer), Yu Kakio (dancer), and Meri Otoshi (choreographer and dancer).

For part two on Sunday, April 15, a talk with independent curator Mizuki Endo will be held.
