Kawasaki City Museum “The World Hunts and Takes”
Kawasaki City Museum “The World Hunts and Takes”
This time's Magcal: Hikaru Daimon
...Everyone, everyone from Kanagawa Prefecture. Did you know?
While Disneyland and all the towers are reaching an auspicious milestone, the star of Kawasaki, the Kawasaki City Museum, is celebrating its 25th anniversary...!
(Even more fortunate, she is the same age as me.)
...To commemorate this auspicious 25th anniversary, the Kawasaki City Museum is planning three exhibitions on ``Contemporary Art,'' ``Manga,'' and ``Kawasaki's Urban Formation.''
(Please see this page for more details!☞ http://www.kawasaki-museum.jp/25museum/ )
If possible, I would like to tell you about all three special exhibitions in this report, but the other two, including the ones I will introduce this time, I will actually go to see...
Today, from the genre of “Contemporary Art”,
New Generation Artist Exhibition in Kawasaki “The World Hunts and Takes”
We would like to deliver...
The venue for ``The World Hunts and Takes'' is held in Special Exhibition Room 1 on the 2nd floor of the Kawasaki City Museum. The theme of the exhibition is ``Let's think about communication once again in the chaotic communication situation created by technology and media.''
At the venue, taxis were suddenly placed all over the place, empty shells wearing gas masks were hung, and even cute pictures of cats were displayed...works that tackled the theme from a variety of approaches were lined up. Masu.
So, while I was busy, I asked the curator, Mr. Fukagawa, to give me a more detailed tour of the entire exhibition.
I was able to walk around listening to the explanations of each piece, and I found them all very interesting, but this time I would like to carefully select and introduce a few pieces that I personally found interesting among the many pieces. I think.
"Cats walk and we meet" Go Fujimura & Kiyoka Uchino
This work began with a letter sent to elementary school students in Kawasaki City soliciting information about cats they saw in town. Based on the letters collected, the work shows various developments.
However, what surprised me most was the pile of letters sent from elementary school students.
Approximately 8000 pieces of Nantes!
The letters have been compiled into a book and you can actually see them, so everyone should check them out...
By the way, the letter has a picture of a cat that everyone has seen...but even if you just look at it, you can see that the elementary school students are quite talented painters.
Also, since the letters are given out by the authors, in addition to a space to draw the cat you saw, there is also a space for you to draw a map of where you saw the cat.
This part of the map once again showed everyone's individuality.
The depiction of "Doro" is wonderful.
Many other artists' paintings are included in these many booklets.
In addition to the booklet, the works include a workshop video and a picture of a giant cat, so please enjoy them as well.
…Continued.
"Let's save our machines for the future" Tsuyoshi Anzai
This work was born out of a workshop with the theme, ``Let's all create a mysterious machine using everyday items and create a video introducing that machine!'' The mysterious machine seen in the photo is said to be a machine that allows cats and mice to reconcile.
A HOW TO video on how to use the machine is also shown.
In fact, this work is displayed outside of the ``Sekai ga Hanten, Take'' venue and in the museum's permanent exhibition.
For this reason, we even created a video to accompany the exhibits in the permanent exhibition (primitive, ancient, medieval, etc.), asking how people from the past would interpret this machine if they saw it.
The work will continue to develop forever.
~bonus~
At ``Sekai ga Hanten Shi Take,'' an event called ``One Question, One Battle,'' where the creators answer questions from viewers, is always held.
If you leave your question in the suggestion box at the entrance, your response will be posted at a later date.
For example, the question is something like this.
... That's right!
At first glance, the questions may seem unrelated to the works on display, but this is not a problem since this exhibition is a special exhibition of "contemporary art."
The authors also answered every question very carefully and thoroughly...!
It might be a good idea to take this opportunity to clear up your doubts about what art is...
What exactly is Picasso's goodness? Don't forget to check this as well.
Everyone, please come and visit "Sekai ga Hanten Shi Take"...!
