Art and Design Week / 芸術の秋 [Art&Design]
友人の誘いもあって、久々展覧会に足を運んで参りました。
中でも印象的だったものを2つ紹介します。
まず、六本木AXISギャラリーにて11/5(日)まで開催されていた「吉岡徳仁展 スーパーファイバーレボリューション」。
雲が浮いているような空間に、今年のミラノサローネ(*)で注目を浴びた「PANE chair」があちこちに展示されており、自由に触れることができます。
(*)…イタリアで毎年春に開催される国際家具見本市

「吉岡徳仁展 スーパーファイバーレボリューション」会場風景 |
I went to some exhibitions after a long time by my friend's invitation. I'll show two impressive exhibitions.
For one thing, it's "Tokujin Yoshioka - Super Fiber Revolution" which were held until 5th November at AXIS gallery in Roppongi (Tokyo) .
This space looked like "cloud", and there were several "PANE chair" which were in the spotlight at the "Salone Internazionale del Mobile" in this year. All visitors could touch them.

何よりも座る人の体型の大小を問わないのが素晴らしい。
実際に座ってみると、ふわふわと包まれる感じで気持ちイイ…。
当日は最終日だったこともあり、大勢の観客でひしめきあっていました。
吉岡氏ご本人も会場にいらして、購入した作品集にサインをしていただけることに。
憧れの先輩に出会えて嬉しかったですね。いろいろパワーを頂いた気がします。
It's wonderful not to restrict all visitor's size of figure when they sit down.
When I sat down actually, I felt so comfortable because it was fluffy.
Because of the last day, there were many visitors.
Fortunately, I met Mr.Yoshioka and he signed his autograph to the collection of his works titled "Tokujin Yoshioka Design (Phaidon Press)" which I bought. I was grad to have met the senior of the same design school. His works gave me a lot of power.
もう一つは森美術館の「ビル・ヴィオラ:はつゆめ」展。
絵画がそのまま映像になったような世界…。思わず息を呑む場面も。
生と死を長年テーマにされているだけあって、作品は時に哲学的であり、感銘を受けつつも、深く考えさせられました。

For another, it's "Bill Viola : Hatsu-Yume (First Dream)" which is now open at Mori Art Museum.
He's been using "Life" and "Death" as his subjects for long time. His works were very impressive and philosophical for me and I dropped into deep thought.
