ホックニー展

2023.10.8

三連休の初日に東京都現代美術館で開催中の『デイヴィッド・ホックニー展』に行ってきました。

1992年に名古屋市美術館であった『ホックニーのオペラ展』で、彼が手掛けた舞台美術の縮小セットなどを観て、『すごく面白い人だなぁ』と思い、そこから好きで興味を持っていたのですが、今回も予想以上に面白かったです♪（下の写真は少しよれていますが当時のチラシです）

現在86歳のホックニー氏、2010年にiPadを手に入れ、画集ではその作品を拝見していましたが、今展覧会で飾られている作品の大きさ、自由さと言ったら！

すぐ上の写真は『ノルマンディーの12か月』という超長い絵巻物のような作品のごく一部ですが、どんどんiPadを使いこなしている感も分かり、近くで観て、次は少し離れて観て（印象が全然違う！）と、いろいろ楽しめました。

ホックニー氏といえばプールを題材にした絵が有名で今回もありましたが、まぁそんなところに全くとどまらない、気になったらいろいろやってみているのがよく分かる、パワーを感じる展覧会でした！

ただいま開催中の第50回AJAC展　　　日本と世界の現代美術 会期：9月９日〜9月16日　於：東京都美術館 （上野）

に於いて、この度、AJAC賞を受賞しました。

近年のシリーズ作「響」は、２０２２年に他の公募展で受賞していますが、本展での受賞は、休会していた時期が長く、２００４年以来、２度目の受賞となりました。

響＃３２、響＃３３  板パネル / アクリル  F30  ともに2024年作

I was recently awarded the AJAC Award at the currently ongoing 50th AJAC Exhibition: Contemporary Art from Japan and the World, held from September 9th to September 16th at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (Ueno). My recent series "Hibiki" won an award at another open exhibition in 2022, but this is my second time winning an award at this exhibition since 2004, after a long hiatus from the exhibition.

notes: this is my first work i've ever posted so pls bear with me. constructive criticism is always welcome! <3

it's been 10 years since you ran away from the painful world of jujutsu sorcery to return home. during this time you've begun to make quite a name for yourself as an artist, with the height of your career so far being a lucrative and life-changing opportunity to have your art shown at the museum of contemporary art in tokyo. an unexpected text from an old friend starts rippling through other aspects of your life to make you wonder if you should've ever stopped thinking about what could've been.

"you've always been my muse. for every line and stroke i've ever painted. our love is in every canvas i've ever touched."

At the National Museum of Western Art, where the exhibition ``Does the Future Sleep Here? - Revisiting the museum's response to contemporary art after 65 years'' opens tomorrow, the 12th, artists participating in the exhibition held a protest against Israel's invasion of Palestine. The protest was carried out by "citizens, mainly volunteers from the artists participating in the exhibition." "We strongly and strongly oppose the Israeli government's genocide that is currently occurring in Palestine," they said, calling on Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., an official partner of the National Museum of Western Art, to stop importing Israeli weapons. They also appealed to the National Museum of Western Art to urge Kawasaki Heavy Industries to immediately stop importing and selling Israeli weapons. According to Tokyo Art Beat's interviews with volunteers, the protest was carried out without informing the museum in advance, and only some of the participating artists had shared the information with them in advance. The protest took place in the lobby in front of the museum's special exhibition room. A preview for the press was held from 12:30 noon, and the person in charge of planning was giving an explanation, but one of the participating artists, Yuki Iiyama, suddenly stood up and read out a statement of protest. Afterwards, a banner reading ``Kawasaki Heavy Industries/Don't be complicit in the massacre'' was hung from the upper floor toward the press, and chants erupted, causing a momentary uproar in the venue.

[...]

In addition, shortly after 4:00 p.m., while the general preview was being held, Mai Endo, an artist participating in this exhibition, and Fumi Momose, an artist who has collaborated with Endo in the past, protested in a guerrilla manner in front of the special exhibition room. Wearing costumes that appeared to be soaked in blood, the two people walked slowly through the room in silence, holding hands and holding banners, demonstrating their intention to protest against the invasion of Gaza.

横尾忠則 水のように

2023.10.8

デイヴィッド・ホックニー展を観た後は、特集展示『生誕100年 サム・フランシス』『横尾忠則 水のように』へ。（隣同士で繋がった展示でした）

横尾氏が好きな作家の作品も展示されていて、その中にはホックニー氏の作品もいくつかあり嬉しかったです。横尾氏、彼の１歳上なんですね。

有名なポスターからY字路シリーズなど大きめの作品まで結構たくさんありました。

この先、また謎の展覧会を体験できるかもしれないと思わせてくれる面白い作品が詰まっていました♪
