The Peanuts and Square (2020/trailer) In this movie, square is symbol of suppression concept. Audiences want to see more hidden paint when Live paint is hidden in this square. This is a visual effect. It is sometime hide to live paint situations. Audience want to see much more than unhide time. In this movie, there are some screens that are closed up. The number of times is important, not to mention the content, and it is created based on the musical effect. For example, in playing improvised music, the same effect can be obtained by equalizing the same sound twice and moving up the live paint close-up twice. Editing is done from the structural part that the motivation of the person's heart rises when the same thing happens twice. Peanuts is a lot of meaning(include radical positive energy from USA.). Chihiro is paint a lot of peanuts painting in this movie, but sometime square hide to his painting performance for audience. This movie is also a documentary movie about working progress performance of Chihiro ITO’s first New York solo exhibition in Haco gallery August 2019. Chihiro thought working progress of arts are sometime much more interesting than complete art works. This is third short film about work in progress painting documentary project of his painting.

This movie is the documentary movie about last exhibition of Japanese historical contemporary art gallery, Ai gallery (Tokyo Japan) that was throughs over 30 years. And also very important gallery for me. I want do funeral to history of this gallery thorough this black and white flower big painting installation art work. After this exhibition, this gallery was dismantled with building. And I want do to take the new step through to it.  20年間現代美術の展示を行ってきた画廊、京橋藍画廊の最後の展示の(二泊三日の公開制作を)記録した記録映像です。 この画廊は現代美術にとって重要な画廊で、僕にとってとても重要な場所でした。 この作品の制作は伊藤によって行われ、3日目の夕方に作品は完成しました。 伊藤は「京橋、藍画廊の最後を花で葬送するという試みを行いたく、この公開制作を行いました。これで京橋藍画廊は記憶の中へ埋葬され、銀座藍画廊として新たに生まれ変わるでしょう。」と、言っています。 Direction, Edit: Chihiro ITO Camera: Takuya Suzuki, Yu Kitamura Painting: Chihiro ITO Place: Ai Gallery(Tokyo, Japan / 28 December 2008) Special Thanks: Mikiko Kurashina, Masakiyo Fukuda, Friends, You ©Chihiro ITO  2019 Official selection : 2019 “Save the Last Dance for Me” directed by Chihiro ITO) Official Selection (Semi Finalist)- jellyFEST Film Festival (California, USA) “Save the Last Dance for Me” (directed by Chihiro ITO) Official Selection - Indie Short Fest(Los Angels, USA) “Save the Last Dance for Me” (directed by Chihiro ITO) Official Selection - Independent Shorts Awards(Los Angels, USA)

Stay in New York. Writer. Fluxus researcher. He has a strong interest in revel music. He also get to fellowship from Japanese Government to stay NYC. Although we are races and races of all ages, such diversity can be said to be New York. This will embody the present progressive New York in the present age. 
Matt + ITO + Steve: Steve Dalachinsky (voice), Matt Mottel(synthesizer), Chihiro ITO(Guitar)によるパフォーマンスを行います。 Steve Dalachinsky: 1946年ニューヨーク生まれ。ビートジェネレーションのアーティストたちと親交を持つ。1980年から詩人としてパフォーマンスを始める。Brooklyn Railでも執筆活動を行っている。 Matt Mottel: 1981年生まれ。ニューヨーク育ちのミュージシャン/アーティスト。自身のバンド、Talibam!で4月に日本に来日予定。(Folestlimitなど)フリージャスのミュージシャン、ジョン・ジョーンを敬愛している Chihiro ITO: 1980年生まれ。東京育ちの現代美術家、画家。文筆家。フルクサス研究者。Revel musicに強い関心がある。朝日新聞などでも執筆活動も行っている。日本政府の助成を受けてニューヨークに滞在中。 過去に現代美術家や画家がバンドを行ったケースは珍しくない。 あのバスキアはGrayというパンクバンドをおこなっていた(No New Waveというアルバムで数名のアーティストと共に発表されている。)オノ・ヨーコ、CRASSのペニー・リンボー、大竹伸朗らは何枚もアルバムを発表する程だ。 ニューヨークでは芸術に詩がとても強く関連している。ジャック・ケアルックやパティ・スミス、ジョナス・メカスなど数え切れないが、彼らの表現は詩に強く結びついている。 今回はそんなニューヨークのダウンタウンを中心に活動するベテランの詩人Steve Dalachinskyとニューヨークのアンダーグラウンドシーンのホープの1人Matt Mottelとバンドを行います。今行っているフルクサスなどの実証実験として伊藤はギターで参加。 僕たちは人種も年齢も超えたバンドだが、そんな多様性がニューヨーク的とも言えるだろう。 これらは現代における現在進行形のニューヨークを体現するだろう。
