The group exhibition “Living in the Landscape VIII” at Galerie Shimon in Ginza ended on the 16th.。Under Corona、Thank you to everyone who took the trouble to come.。Take the trouble to call me、Those who sent postcards etc.、thank you。
During the exhibition period、Niki Exhibition at the National Art Center, Tokyo in Roppongi、Independent exhibitions and solo exhibitions introduced in the previous article, etc.、some solo exhibitions、I also visited group exhibitions.。Everyone is trying their best。Huge amount of energy poured into it、amount of material、funds。and many sacrifices of all kinds。And the small amount of self-satisfaction that I get、like a blessing、Private admiration with almost no social skills。Is there a more appropriate word than “healthy”?。
“In my personal art history,、"The history of art has already ended," he wrote long ago.。I confirmed that again。This does not mean that everyone will stop drawing.。On the contrary, in 10 years it will be easier to draw.、I think everyone draws to kill time.。It's finished、``I have nothing more to add,'' that is.、In terms of art history, it means that we have reached the end of the book.、(at least in the modern Japanese style) art exhibition format。
At the very least, contemporary Japanese art exhibitions require personal sacrifice (rather than burden).、It's so big that I dare to call it a "sacrifice."。Japan's unique group exhibition system、It is a methodology to reduce the amount of sacrifice by dividing it by the number of people.、There are also art tenement houses where artists live by licking each other's wounds.。Artists can freely create what they want、Too far from the ideal of freely publishing。Be prepared to deviate from society by becoming a writer、You need to be prepared to commit social suicide.、It is no exaggeration to say that。Even the family is involved、I only look at people who were lucky enough to become popular writers.、It is an anachronism to think that sacrificial spirit is cool.、It is consistent with the climate of similar social oppression (for example, the social status of women) that imposes this。
Now we have the internet。The delusion that the Internet will solve these problems all at once is、Even though I admit to being a delusional person, I don't think so.、I already have the power to alleviate at least some of that.。The rigors of creation (effort) and physical、should not be confused with social sacrifice。The rigor of creation、This is because I think that I can only overcome it from a place where I can be liberated.。
