ART TOWER MITO | CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY | Exhibitions | Rei Naito: on this bright Earth I see you
Contemporary artist Rei Naito’s work asks us “Is our existence on the Earth a blessing in itself?” Her installations have earned critical acclaim at home and abroad, distilling our existence on Earth—in which we receive inexhaustible nature, such as light, air, wind, water, and gravity, and the colors and sounds they produce—into the form of a quiet yet certain hope. To date, she has produced permanent works that respond to nature and architectural space, such as Being Given (Kinza, Naoshima, 2001) and Matrix (Teshima Art Museum, 2010), and she has also had exhibitions at historical sites including Karmeliterkloster in Frankfurt am Main (1997) and Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, Tokyo (2014).
This will be her first domestic solo exhibition since 2014, and her largest one to date. In this presentation, Naito, who has come to treat light itself as a primary source in her work, creates spaces from natural light alone for the first time. In these spaces we can gaze at “scenes of our Earth-bound existence” where light, life, and art cannot be distinguished from one another.
Naito says that one time she became aware of “the unconscious activity of those (myself) who are within Earth-bound existence stepping outside existence, taking on the gaze of the other, and gazing within existence,” and came to feel that “it seems we are being gazed at from afar, and are receiving grace.” Taking the rich natural light that changes throughout the day as its basis, this exhibition presents itself as both a site of exchange between the deceased, those who will come to be born, the flora and fauna, the spirits, and us who exist on the Earth; and as a space that makes sensible the enduring continuity maintained by the stirrings of nature and by us.
– In line with the artist’s objectives, this exhibition deals exclusively with natural light. Accordingly, starting September 1st the exhibition opening hours will change, with the usual closing time of 18:00 shifting to 17:00 (last entry by 16:30).
内藤礼 – Wikipedia
内藤 礼(ないとう れい、1961年 – )は彫刻家。ひそやかで繊細な造形作品と、それを配置し鑑賞する緊張感のある空間からなるインスタレーション作品などを作成。広島県広島市出身、広島女学院中学校・高等学校卒業。1985年武蔵野美術大学卒業。
「地上に存在することは、それ自体、祝福であるのか」をテーマに制作する現代美術家・内藤礼は、光、空気、風、水、重力といった無尽蔵な自然と、それらがもたらす色彩や音を受けとる私たち地上の生を、ひそやかな、それでいて確かな希望を放つかたちに昇華させた空間作品で、国内外より高い評価を得ています。また、内藤はこれまで、きんざ《このことを》(直島、2001年)、《母型》(豊島美術館、2010年)といった自然や建築空間と呼応するパーマネント作品を手がけ、またフランクフルトのカルメル会修道院(1997年)や東京都庭園美術館(2014年)といった歴史的な場所で展示を行ってきました。
国内において2014年以来の個展、かつ過去最大規模となる本展では、光を自身の作品における根源のひとつとしてきた内藤が、はじめて自然光のみによる、光と生命と芸術がけっして分別されえない「地上の生の光景」を見つめる空間を生み出します。
内藤はあるとき、「地上の生の内にいる者(私)が、生の外に出て、他者の眼差しを持ち、生の内を眼差す無意識の働き」に気づき、「私たちは遠くから眼差され、慈悲を受けとっているのではないか」と感じるようになったといいます。本展は、一日を通して移り変わる豊かな自然光のもと、地上に生きる私たちと死者、生まれ来る者、動植物、精霊との交歓の場として、また永続する自然の動きと私たちとを貫く連続性を可感化する空間として立ち現れることでしょう。◎本展は、作家の展覧会主旨により、自然光のみの展示となります。そのため、9月1日より開館時間が通常の18時から17時閉場に変更となります(入場は16時半まで)。
