Statement

「アートは、私たちが変化に慣れるためのシミュレーターである」

音楽家であり思想家でもあるブライアン・イーノ(Brian Eno)は、その著書『アートにできること』の中で、表現の本質をそう定義しました。予測不能な現代において、アートに触れることは、既存の価値観を揺さぶり、私たち自身を更新し続けるための知的かつ感覚的なプロセスと言えるでしょう。

YUGEN Gallery オーナー・林田が、これまで自らの直感と対話を通じて傍らに引き寄せてきたコレクション。そこには、イーノの思想と深く共鳴する「変化を肯定する力」が宿っています。

しかし、本展は回顧展ではありません。過去に蒐集された作品と、同作家による現在の表現を並置することで、「現在」という時間の複数性を提示します。そこに現れるのは、直線的な進歩ではなく、差異と反復、断絶と接続が交差する時間の層です。作品は単体で完結するのではなく、時間的なズレや応答関係の中で新たな意味を生成していきます。

AKIKO/山本尚志は、言語や文字の制度を解体し、意味生成の前提そのものを揺さぶります。
蓮井幹生/菅雄嗣は、静謐な写実と叙情の中で、可視と不可視の関係を再考します。
増田将大/長尾洋は、記憶や既視感といった主観的経験を再構成し、知覚の境界を拡張します。
松浦進/EDO and YUMEKAは、現代の視覚環境に内在するノイズや過剰性を引き受け、新たなリズムを立ち上げます。

これらの作品群は、一人のコレクターの眼差しというフィルターを通じ、それぞれが異なる角度から「アートにできること」を体現しています。そしてそれらは、異なる位相にありながら、「変化」をどのように知覚し、受け止めるかという問いにおいて交差しています。

コレクションとは、完成された過去の記録ではありません。作家が挑み続ける「現在」と、それを受け止める私たちの「未来」を繋ぐための、終わりのないシミュレーションです。

オーナー・林田の審美眼が捉えた作家たちの軌跡と、その力強い現在地。本展を通じて、皆様の心の中に、変化を生き抜くための新しい視点が芽生えることを願っています。

I create artworks by reconfiguring daily sketches and photographs into prints, with the aim of recording human emotions and behaviors. In recent years, my work has incorporated many elements from my daily life, and I intentionally create paintings that reflect the themes of "private" and "boring."

After building a career as a graphic designer and illustrator, he began his career as an artist. In 2012, he moved to Berlin, where he is currently engaged in fieldwork to build close relationships with local communities, driven by his deep interest in ethnology and cultural anthropology. He has traveled around the world, including Namibia, Mexico, Mongolia, and India, and the knowledge and experiences he has gained from these journeys are reflected in his work. He is currently based in Nagoya. This exhibition will feature collages that reconstruct objects and tools that are taken for granted in modern society, and are based on the theme of "future indigenous peoples." Through his unique artworks that skillfully use fashion magazine clippings and other materials, he challenges the authority of art.
