Unknown History — Unknown シリーズ No. 4

ひとつの作品が生まれるとき、その背後には膨大な時間と無数の作品が存在する。
気の遠くなるような時間の中で、様々な試みがなされてきたのであり、その見えない堆積は、常に個々の作品と共にある。

今、この時代、それぞれの場所で制作しているアーティスト達は、「歴史」をどのように受け継ぎ、向かい合い、そして乗り越えようとしているのか。

各会場のテーマは、「Conflict 葛藤」、「Flow / Oral 流れ・語り」、「Eternity 永遠」としてみた。個々の会場と作品は重層的につながることで、広がっていくとともに深さを獲得する。

私達は、アーティスト一人一人の作品や言葉から、それぞれの「歴史」に対する姿勢や、視線を感じとることができるだろう。そして「現在」はもちろんのこと、さらには「その先」へと、私達のまなざしを向けることが可能になるはずだ。

The Unknown Series No. 4: Unknown History

Creating a single work involves an enormous amount of time and endless experimentation. A myriad of experiments are performed during that immeasurable amount of time. Thus, each and every work derives as a result of the accumulation of those experiments.

How do artists of the present age, who create works in their respective locations, inherit, face and overcome the "history" that is behind us?

The three venues in this exhibition have been respectively given the themes "Conflict," "Flow/Oral," and "Eternity." The three venues and the exhibited works will all interconnect and expand, while also gaining depth through the idea of "history."

I hope that viewers will perceive the artists' attitudes and views toward "history," which are manifested in their works and words. I have no doubt that their works will allow the viewers to focus not only on the "present" state but also further into the "beyond."
