About-2.png

Destroy Your Habits

This is an inconvenience store. The regular convenience store will have the products you need. SPF 30 and Ray-Ban knockoffs? In July you’ll find them grouped together next to the inflatables. Nail clippers on the eve of Valentine’s Day? Next to the shelf of chocolates, just above the condoms. Product placement like this is the display of peak capitalism, raised and fed on data, your data. You know what you want but so do the providers. There are no new discoveries in such a system. This is what lies behind convenience.

Destroy Your Habits [DYH] is an independent interview space created as an anathema to this notion of convenience. It’s an inconvenience store, as we’d like to call it. DYH will be interviewing contemporary artists from all disciplines. A casual, silly, profound look at how to survive in this crazy world. What readers choose to “take away” from these interviews is up to each and every individual. We don’t think anybody is particularly “waiting” to read these words. Nothing about this space is “convenient”, but by virtue of your initiative to dive into the interviews, DYH hopes that you are able to unearth new discoveries to bring home into your own lives.

We at Destroy Your Habits hope that this space can act as a chisel to help rid us (staff, interviewers, and readers alike) of habits that squat in our brains and bodies. We hope it can become an archival space worth revisiting for all.

ここはインコンビニエンス・ストアです。コンビニエンス・ストアには、予めサービス側から過去のデータをもとに、完璧に予想された膨大な数の商品が並び、私たちを「待っています」。私たちは予め欲しいものが分かっている状態で行き、サービス側も私たちが何が必要なのか、予め分かっているのです。そこでは、私たちにとっての「新しい発見」はありません。何故なら、それは全く必要ないからです。それが「コンビニエント（便利）」ということです。

ここ、Destroy Your Habitsというインディペンデントなインタビュー・スペースは全く真逆のコンセプトの「イン」コンビニエント・ストアです。世界中で活動するコンテンポラリー・アーティストや、様々な分野のクリエイターによる、カジュアルで、バカバカしくて、そして深く人生について考え、このイカれた社会をサヴァイブするこれらの言葉の数々から、どれをピックアップして「テイクアウト」するのかは、私たち次第なのです。これらの言葉は私たちを別段「待ってはいない」のです。ここは決してコンビニエント（便利）なスペースではありませんが、自分の意思で決め、「新しい発見」を自分の生活にお持ち帰りする場所なのです。

知らないうちに勝手に私たちの脳や体に住み着いてしまった「クセ」を打ち壊しつつ、このスペースがアーティストにとっても、オーディエンスにとっても時々帰ってこれるようなアーカイバル（記録）な場所になっていくことを願っています。
