61st of the month、Located in Urawa City, Saitama Prefecture、I went to see the 72nd Saitama Prefecture Exhibition at the Prefectural Museum of Modern Art.。Because it was Saturday、Including the seller、An unexpectedly large number of people came to see it.。High school students returning from school (probably the sellers) and many elderly people were conspicuous.、20There are very few people in their 50s to 50s.。That probably reflects the current social situation.。
More than 1,000 items are submitted for review each year.。Once easily over 1500 points、The acceptance rate was only a little over 30%.。I tried various things (it's up to you whether it was a good idea or not)、The acceptance rate was slightly lower, but、Still, more than half are not selected.。Among them, who can become an award winner、only 16 people。Furthermore, in order to have no inspection (the right to be displayed if you exhibit it)、There is a rule that an award must be won three times.。In the current system where almost all judges are replaced,、Isn't that too harsh?、There seems to be a lot of talk about this.。
I met some people I knew at the venue.、I learned that some people had passed away.。Even if you look at the works of people who continue to exhibit、There are some works that have no trace of what they once were (I may be one of them).。But、I see it in many works.。If we look closely at the flow of individuals,、I'm sure it's created with a certain amount of value.。
Although the high school students' exhibitions are easy (it seems),、When I look at the selected works, I feel a sense of uneasy vulnerability.。Some people show amazing skills,、Most of them do their best just to fill the screen.。Because there is also studying、That's quite admirable。Is there any guidance from club teachers?、There are not many failures、If I were to say it was a pity, it would be a pity.。
Selected、If you just look at the award rate, it's certainly a tough number.、Young (or active) elites gathered there.、Is it overheating?、That's not it。Such people seek a different, harsher world.、making。In that sense、The prefectural exhibition is progressing at the same time as the present day.、I wonder if it's becoming a different world, heavily covered in the past.。While dragging my crippled legs、A work that is as tall as your body、When I see people listing items with the help of their children and grandchildren,、Even so, I know that there is an important world here.。
