This catalogue accompanies the artist group Atelier Bow-Wow's solo exhibition at Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art in 2014. It includes the artist statement, essays, colour pates of their works, and biography.

'"Atelier Bow-Wow: Micro Public Space" will explore various approaches to public spaces – including the art museum – via a combination of numerous “micro-public-space” works actually able to be experienced at the museum, and case studies of Atelier Bow-Wow works observed/implemented in public spaces...
To date, Atelier Bow-Wow have presented, in exhibition settings, numerous installations featuring small structures, furniture and so on. Basing these works on the history, culture and environment of different regions, and studies on how people behave there, they have dubbed them “micro public spaces.” 
Each installation possesses a unique function and form, such as the gleaming white outdoor food stall 10 meters in length known as the White Limousine Yatai, and Manga Pod, a bookcase for manga magazines that snugly envelops the reader. More than just small buildings, these works are devices supporting the interaction and activities of all sorts of people, and while compact in size, create places open to a diverse audience.
In addition to a selection of Atelier Bow-Wow's leading works to date, this exhibition will feature a new piece created specifically for Hiroshima.' - from museum's website
