Christophe Roberts and Hebru Brantley are opening at the Lyons Wier Gallery in New York with their Journey of a Thousand Eyes and Wait a Cotton Picking Minute exhibitions, Friday, September 10, 2010 6:00 – 9:00 pm and the exhibit runs from September 10 – October 10, 2010. MNP talked with Roberts this past winter about his art in the DOJO. Don’t miss it folks!
Mass Media meets Mass Production: New works by Chicago natives Hebru Brantley and Christophe Roberts will be presented at Lyons Wier Gallery in concurrent exhibitions that blur the boundaries between fine art, social commentary and consumer products. Each artist will present a body of work that engages and navigates contemporary urban realities with critical wit, precision, agility, and vision.

Writers, Kosuke and Hiroki have teamed up to talk about their study abroad experience in the United States and some of the differences between Japan and the US on a new MNP blog, NINJAPAN BLOG.
Below you will find their first post in Japanese, look out for their blog posts every week on myninjaplease.com!
世界にとって今の日本とは
アメリカで生活していて人々に度々言われること。それは、日本は文化的に豊かで歴史があり、さらには技術が発展している素晴らしい国だということ。 Made In Japanは製品、技術においてとても信頼がおけると。私の友人の言葉で私が驚いたのは、日本人は新しいもの作り上げるのに実に長けている、それはきっと 日本に住み、技術や環境に幼少から触れていることで脳みその作りが違うからだと。
The first installment of a DVD magazine about art and music, the DOJO comprises 8 interviews with Chicago’s emerging artists. The Single Helix provided the soundtrack. Debuted at NEXT, part of Art Chicago, myninjaplease.com produced the mag and looks towards a second episode. Interviews include Armando Perez, Allen Vandever, Scott Thomas, Virgil Solis, Seth Kammueller, DJ RTC, Qwel and Maker and Christophe Roberts. Enjoy!
