Tacoma is seeing its first PK night on June 3 that will feature a who's who of the Tacoma art scene. This form of presenting art and architecture is credited to Japan and has spread to over 200 cities around the world and is growing ever more popular. Pecha Kucha is literally translated as "chit chat" and is fast turning into the networking event for the art community.
Why JYPG? Let's face it, we are proud of what we do and tend to talk alot about it. The Japanese Pecha-Kucha format allows artists and architects to present 20 images, 20 seconds per image, giving 6 minutes and 40 second for each presentation with no go back or pauses and definitely no do-overs to a large audience at one time. From a business/commerce perspective, this guarantees an efficiency not normally seen in the industry, and gives potential buyers a larger variety of works they can be exposed to in a short period of time. All in a relaxed atmosphere that is out of the gallery and with beverages to boot! The official global Pecha Kucha Night website even has examples where schools are adapting the Pecha Kucha format for student presentations.
Check one out soon!
