Not the best photos in the world (apologies) but here are some of Belkis Ayón’s Collagraphs from the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. Notice the scale of several pieces and how they are joined with smaller sections. Each work is mounted on cardboard because it was what was available to her.

📸いわき回廊美術館(福島県いわき市) Snake Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA), Iwaki, Fukushima ——東日本大震災の後、福島・いわきに由縁があった世界的現代美術家 #蔡國強 (Cai Guo-Qiang)と地元いわき市の人々の手により開かれた屋外美術館。未来へ残したいツリーブランコからの眺めと桜の名所。 福島・いわき回廊美術館の紹介は☞ https://oniwa.garden/iwaki-snake-museum-%E3%81%84%E3%82%8F%E3%81%8D%E5%9B%9E%E5%BB%8A%E7%BE%8E%E8%A1%93%E9%A4%A8/ ———————— 毎年 #3月11日 は東北の庭園をつぶやいています。 震災から12年。今年はなんとなく、福島の浜通りに関する記事を目にすることが多かったかな。なので庭園ではないけれど、伝えたいランドスケープを。 「いわき回廊美術館」は世界的に有名な現代芸術家・蔡國強(ツァイ・グオチャン)によって���ザインが手掛けられ、2013年にオープンした野外美術館。 東日本大震災及び東京電力福島第1原発事故の後にはじまった「いわき万本桜プロジェクト」🌸との共同制作であり、美術館として開かれている一帯には桜9万9千本の植樹を目指し現在も活動は進められています。 “アートの島”直島のベネッセアートサイトにある『文化大混浴』を昨年目にした方もきっと多かったであろう蔡國強。 ヴェネチア・ビエンナーレを始めとする世界的な芸術賞を受賞し、北京オリンピック開会式でのアート・ディレクターを務めた氏はいわき市に滞在していた経験も。 空に登っていく龍をイメージした――🐉というその回廊美術館の別名は『Snake Museum of Contemporary Art(SMoCA)』(スモカ)。 回廊には地元のアーティストや学生の作品が展示されていて――アート作品と言うべきかわからない作品も、そこに込められたメッセージはエモいものを感じざるを得ない。 そしてその頂上にはいわき市の田園を一望できるツリーブランコがあります。思わず飛び出したくなるロケーション――(ですが危険という注意書き!)。 そして頂上にある「龍骨(廃船)」という作品は1990年代、いわき市立美術館で開催された蔡国強の個展でも展示されていたいわきにゆかりある作品で、20年の時を経て回廊美術館に移築されました。 昨年と違って今年は芸術祭も少ないので、まだ足を運んだことない #現代アート ファンが居らっしゃったらぜひ。 そして2023年は #いわきFC も初めてサッカー・J2の舞台へ参入。残念ながら自分は今年は行けそうにないのですが、いわきを訪れる方々にぜひ足を運んで欲しい素敵な場所です。 2020年以降東北に一度も行けていない。今年は一度は足を運びたいなと思ってます。仙台・山形・秋田には行けたらいいなぁと。 福島・いわき回廊美術館の紹介は⇩ https://oniwa.garden/iwaki-snake-museum-%E3%81%84%E3%82%8F%E3%81%8D%E5%9B%9E%E5%BB%8A%E7%BE%8E%E8%A1%93%E9%A4%A8/ ———————— #CaiGuoQiang #art #japanart #japanesearchitecture #japanarchitecture #japanesegarden #japanesegardens #landscapedesign #landscape #japanlandscape #japaneselandscape #beautifuljapan #beautifulfukushima #fukushima #fukushimajapan #japandesign #庭園 #公園 #ランドスケープ #アート #ランドアート #美術館 #野外美術館 #いわき #いわき市 #おにわさん (いわき回廊美術館) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpojhknPJ6a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Electro-Symbio Phonix for Phoenix (1992) by Nam June Palk, on loan from City of Phoenix Municipal Art Collection, centerpiece of the I'm Sorry But It's Hard To Imagine Exhibition.

Part of the I'm Sorry But It's Hard To Imagine Exhibition.
Ocean of Light: Submergence-A Squidsoup Project
In September, Daniel and I took the chance to visit the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Artduring their free hours with a couple of friends, Dawn & Mike. It's a great way to visit a museum you've never been to, and I like to return later during quieter hours to spend more time with my favorite pieces. Dawn had suggested the museum, and we were intrigued by the photos circulating of the Ocean of Light exhibit.
I love contemporary art for the broad range of mediums that can be employed, and anything made with light or video is bound to become a favorite. Electro-Symbio Phonix for Phoenix by Nam June Palk spanned an entire wall, and I absorbed the flickering images and neon lights as if they were energizing me. I felt so honored to have the chance to view it. It seemed like a sort of love note to Phoenix.
My favorite installation of that evening was Ocean of Light: Submergence-A Squidsoup Project. (For those curious, Squidsoup is an art collective based in the UK comprised of Anthony Rowe, Gaz Bushell, Liam Birtles, Chris Bennewith, and Oliver Bown.) We walked into the dark room filled with strings of lights, the small orbs seeming to float of their own accord. Soft, rhythmic music swirled around us as the lights shifted from pinks to blues to teals to greens to yellows, going through every color. At times the light seemed to flow around the room in the shape of some sentient creature, and other moments every orb illuminated the room as the music swelled, with one shade or another, or in a shimmer of complementary hues. Most of our time there, I barely noticed all of the other people in the installation.
I completely lost myself to the lights and the music, observing the lights and focusing on my breathing as I wandered. I felt myself slip into a meditative state and the music seemed to move every cell in my body. I couldn't stop smiling, my face ached, at times I was laughing. I'm not sure how long we wandered among the lights but we saw them cycle through their pattern 3 or 4 times. I left feeling refreshed, uplifted, inspired. I was up later than usual that night creating, and I can't help but wonder if walking meditation among art can be one of the best catalysts of artistic inspiration.
