レイチェル・ホワイトリード 「Wardrobe」2019年 と バルテュス「Passage du Commerce-Saint-André」1952-1954年 @ バイエラー財団 2020年1月まで Rachel Whiteread "Wardrobe" 2019 & Balthus "Passage du Commerce-Saint-André" 1952-1954 @ Fondation Beyeler, until Jan. 2020
今日、ホッとして、優しく心臓を動かす。落ち着く現代美術空間。
2014年 – 2019年の流れの中で、2回の驚きと出逢いに、大喜び。
驚嘆の目で鑑賞。感謝。地方色と都市化の相互参照。
画像家・画家は、色彩の濃淡が気になる。変更したくて、させていただく。
自分自身の景色。感動的な記録を共有する。
次に、自分の絵画に関して、比較思想が浮かぶ。

Quote & courtesy by Rachel Whiteread, taken from the catalogue ‘Resonating Spaces’:
I’m drawn to ‘Passage du Commerce-Saint-André’ by Balthus because it is so peculiar and has such a feeling of otherness. You’re present, but you’re removed at the same time. Passage has a strange presence – a certain theatricality, a sense of the macabre and disembodiment. It feels like a film set; there is a deafness to it, as if there is no sound. There is the girl looking out, who seems extremely troubled, a peculiar man sitting on the pavement and a strange lady walking her dog. The whole thing feels remote, cut off and eerie.
I though it would be quite interesting to somehow replicate this painting and work with it in some way. I felt the best way to do that would be to remove some of the architectural elements and cast them in papier-mâché. I also wanted to make another component, so the room that I’d be showing in would act as a vitrine or a theatrical stage set for the new work. …
May I take this occasion to show the actual art practice by Setsuko Klossowska de Rola, a wonderful video from this year 2019. About 10 years ago, I had the honor to visit her in the Grand Chalet de Rossinière on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Later, the opportunity came up to meet her daughter Harumi in Tokyo. Happy memories.
