24 CD Boxed Set (Recorded at Akira Ikeda Gallery/Taura in 2005)

 

This 24 CD boxed set was produced in association with the live reading and recording of "One Million Years (Past and Future)" by On Kawara (January 8-February 19, 2005) at Akira Ikeda Gallery/Taura, Japan.

Akira Ikeda Gallery /Taura hosted the second live recording sessions of "One Million Years". All other previously released "One Million Years" except for the 24 CD boxed set Akira Ikeda Gallery/Berlin produced in 2002 were recorded in studios. Native Japanese speakers read in English and all odd numbers were read by men, all even numbers by women.

Each live recording session was approximately 60 minutes. This clearly made this exhibition a reading/recording exhibition and distinguished itself from previously organized "One Million Years" shows.
