| On Sundays: Gaienmae | |||
| |||
|
If you like hanging out in groovy places while you shop, then there's none better than "On Sundays" (closed Mondays), the shop attached to the Watarium Art Museum. This striped building and especially the basement bookshop space is imbued with very hip vibes - a cluttered coolness. The books follow in a similar vein.
Upstairs they have a large selection of arty things from other museums, designer goods from around the world and artist multiples. Designer desk lamps and collectable editions things to play with during meetings at work. And Tokyo's biggest selection of art postcards, arranged by artist. Downstairs is packed with the glossy and the grungy - In both camps is the large publication on graffiti artist Barry McGee. Of esoteric note is "Utopia - transmission 2 ' I love u see u inside'". This set includes book, CD, and tee shirt in the box. And enough quotes from groovy philosophers to impress anyone at hip parties. On Sundays also has a good range of CDs, DVDs, and videos by arty types. Here you will find recordings of the Fluxus Suite and some of the latest computer-generated sound art. Buy something - it will give your home hi-fi speakers a new experience, even if you won't be able to whistle the melody. Downstairs there are also a few tables where you can sit and enjoy good coffee or a beer and rest from all the browsing. Be warned, however, if you want to sit and read, you will need to buy your own magazine. by Peter Naumann |
