(Mori Art Museum), 21th THE ART OF TOMORROW (The National Art Center, Tokyo), he did a performance in which he stayed in the exhibition room throughout all operation hours; that continued for several months. He started Perfectly Ordinary Stones, Carried For 1,300 Years, http://ishimochi.com/ which is an ongoing project that will continue during 2014-3314 on the occasion he participated in the Kunisaki Art Festival 2014. Recently, he has started a series assembled of over 900 drawings. Amemiya lyrically completes vast amounts of labor, and his work exceeds the time and space of exhibitions, he is able to transcend criticisms of a system and build up his own unique world.
