The Spring Exhibition ended yesterday, the 6th (Sunday) at 5pm.。Under the coronavirus pandemic、I was hesitant, but I'm glad I held the event.。Everyone in attendance、thank you。Although I couldn't come,、Everyone who supported me、thank you。Everyone who gave harsh opinions、thank you。with their encouragement、I would like to use it as strength for the next exhibition.。

Spring art exhibitions are on display at the National Art Center, Tokyo in Roppongi、Works are brought in from all over the country and judged.、There was a continuing ``abnormal situation'' in which the exhibits were put on display but not opened.。It's natural to be afraid of coronavirus, but、``Fear correctly (with accurate knowledge)''、It was the national and metropolitan governments that were conducting campaigns to avoid overreacting.、It must have been a local government such as a prefecture.。The fact that the event was suddenly canceled、no consistent logic、It just depends on the situation in front of you、This means that we have been responding in a haphazard manner.。In that sense、We calmly decided and held the event.、I think it was logically clear.。

As expected, the number of spectators was small.。I missed hearing the tally, but、It's probably about one-third of the usual year.。Most of the audience are elderly。Most of the sellers are elderly、It's only natural that each person sends a DM to their acquaintance.、5Thinking years later、I can't help but think that this exhibition stands on the brink in many ways.。

The decline in attendance is not necessarily due to the coronavirus.。If you ask me if it will recover once the coronavirus subsides,、my answer is no。If you can watch the exhibition on video、I think the people who came to the venue this time will also do the same.。If you can stream it on video、age and health condition、You have a chance to be seen regardless of where you live (though how to find them among the huge number of videos is an even bigger problem)。As I wrote earlier、Seeing something in an image or video is different from seeing it in real life.、If you look at it without looking at it,、In any case, I'm sure it's better to have it looked at.。Young people thought that way a long time ago.、We post all kinds of things on such media and disseminate them.。Our (and many others') existing exhibitions are too far behind.。

Why is Chenchunkai so late?。In one word、This is because there are no young people in the group.。why not become a member、Or can't scout?。Why are young people unattractive?。How can we create charm?。I haven't thought much about such things.。I plan to hold the Chenshunkai Exhibition next year as well.。However, I can't see much about 5 years from now.。I've been thinking the same thing for the past few years.、could not act。This time next year too、I hope I'm not thinking the same thing again.。—I wanted to go to the sea。

Chenshunkai exhibition begins、first day、2I was on duty at the venue for consecutive days.。The audience is quiet、Thank you for coming all the way at a time like this.、most people watch enthusiastically。It's a blessing。People who say “I wanted to see it no matter what”、Corona from morning till night、I went home feeling refreshed after feeling tired due to the coronavirus.。that's what we wanted。

I came here to forget about Corona.、disinfect、Fill out visitor cards, etc.、I heard some people got angry and said, "Is it coronavirus?"。I feel like I can understand how that person feels.。Referring to coronavirus countermeasures at various other event venues、We also paid a lot of attention to that.。than the coronavirus itself、Honestly, I was more scared of the patrols by the "self-restraint police" who criticized people for not taking precautions.。There are many "police" of this type in Japan.。I started this blog 10 years ago right after the Great East Japan Earthquake.、Even back then, the term "power-saving police" was heard on the streets.、writing about it。There is nothing different from now。

Almost no people come after 4pm.。Take a closer look at your own paintings while wandering around the venue。behind my picture、See your own production process。and 10 years ago、30Looking at my work from a year ago and my work a few years later。If you look closely、1This is what is depicted in the picture.。Every piece at the venue has that kind of scenery.。The members only joke around most of the day.、Everyone sees their own landscapes。Without such members, there is no way it would last 35 years.。This meeting is a special meeting.。

As vaccination progresses、By this time next year, coronavirus will be a distant memory.。It's almost like we've forgotten all about the energy-saving fuss that occurred during the Great Earthquake.。But、The truth is that we are hurting deep down.。I also drew pictures at that time.、People look at you coldly, like if you were doing music or acting.、I was actually treated like that.。That's what the masses are like.。Art is for such a public.、For now, please have some tea.、That's the job。A change of heart may occur just by drinking that cup.。that's art、Tomo thinks while wandering around the venue.。

Starting tomorrow、晨春会展が始まる。６月6日（日）17:00まで。昨年はコロナ禍を考慮して、東日本大震災の時でさえ開催してきた展覧会を初めて中止した。今年も中止するかどうか議論したが、いま、活動を継続すること自体が意義あるとして開催することにした。

ネットだけで公開することもできる。「見るだけ」なら写真の解像度次第では、肉眼より詳しく見ることも可能である。But、実物をその会場で見るのは、それらとはかなり違って見える。I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、感じると言った方が近い。それは簡単な理由からで、会場には会場の空気があるからである。会場の空気とは、作者と何かを共有する空気ということになろうか。会場に作者がいるから、ということではない。レオナルドの絵を画集で見ても凄さは感じるが、実物を生の眼で見ると、なぜか時空を超えて作者の息吹をほんの少しだが感じるのである。それが「空気」。同時代の作家なら、それがもっと強く感じられるのは当然である。

コロナ禍で多くの美術展、音楽会、芝居などが中止され、美術館、劇場、ホールも休館させられるなど、芸術が「不要不急」の代表のように扱われてしまっている。こういういい方は本来したくないのだが、あえて言えば、芸術こそ一番底辺で現代の社会を支えるものではないのか、This person is building his "own" snowboard "road"。会社員が通勤して、工場や会社を動かすことが現代社会の骨格であることに異論はない。けれど働く会社員にとっては、本物の歯車にされてしまっては働く意欲そのものが萎えてしまう。自分たちの子どもをただの歯車に育てたくもない。

「作品に出合って稲妻に打たれたように」感じたことのある人はどのくらいいるだろうか。きわめて少数に違いないが、そのことの意義は小さくなく、そのチャンスは多くはない。いわば一期一会。その機会を求めに行こうとすることが「不要不急」などであるはずはない、というのがわたしの「遠吠え」である。カッコつけたが、わたしの絵などわざわざ会場へ見に行くほどの価値もないという人のために、この絵を掲げてみる。
