MOT Anual 2014 (The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo)

(Translated by Google Translate)

Exhibition to introduce subtitle that attempt, six tries to retry of capturing the world (fragment, Fragment) through fragment surrounding the we are on, was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Contemporary Art, the work of artists of national annual meeting. That of the 13th this time.

Corner of the first works by Noriko Takada safety, Masako twin. In the basin, made ​​of pumice, a small Roman Colosseum is located.

And giving the process carefully, to tailor the work of art, what is around us. To the viewer, you are encouraged to see from another point of view, the world common you are looking at everyday.

In a sense, is the fact that his team was in the symbol of the whole exhibition, this work was later found.

Video works of MIYANAGA Ryo, is WAVY, in the sound of bustle of the city, and the video of the city, the image of the rural areas, continue to overlap.

Work of Masaya Aota is what he sharpen with a file, such as detergent is on, the surface of the plastic bottles of various colors, were arranged on a table.

I wonder that the household goods of day-to-day, only made ​​one time, and that, reborn art work.

Work of Fukuda Hisayo showcased the work on the theme of text and character. Disconnect the page of old paperback, work called letter, of Rambo, is adding a little processing in one by one.

Other, such as work that is cut out carefully, the part of writing the original paper, the character.

To live Shodo of the Seto Inland Sea, Yoshida Natsuna's work is which drew on the surface of the cube of the deformation, the scenery looked like the landscape of the island.

The other, on the surface of the square pillar, etc. work uses to draw a picture of the formation, depicting the core of the earth.

This Shodo, or twirling a mountain, Yoshida, seems to be living that, limp to the sea. These works have been produced from such experience.

That Paramodel, works by unit of two artists are those arranged as geometric patterns on one side wall plastic rail. Or, such as those pieced together a three-dimensional view of the premises of the subway were separately on the premises diagram of one large, large pieces in many cases.

Only exhibition corner of this parameter model, was able to take photos.

Not both, that complain of something loudly, work the corner of the six, was something to take note of what casual, and to it was added to the personality of the artist only a little, and that, going to catabolism to work.

In the same venue, exhibition of contemporary art of Latin America and Spain has been carried out, but in this exhibition work, flavor is quite different from the MOT this Anyuru, those so-called "dark" of content in many cases. Among them, those criticized the dictatorship was seen several points.

The gap and such work, the work of this annual MOT, it had me
think unintentionally. Perhaps, also planning side, would there was a aim accentuate the differences in the type.

For better or worse, still peaceful, Japan, might be a peaceful country.

However, artists, continue to make works that criticize strongly the government and society, really dangerous country, I wonder if the countries of Latin America and Spain?

Or, as artists, if look away from something, you are making a work on the theme of the world around day-to-day, would a dangerous country called Japan?
