展覧会概要
© Kamin Lertchaiprasert
カミン・ラーチャイプラサートの興味は、人々の暮らしやそれを支える価値観、哲学をダイレクトに芸術に反映することです。金沢では、自分が表現者となるのではなく、多くの参加者を募った共同作業を通じて芸術の意味を問うプロジェクトを実施します。それは、参加者それぞれがこころに残る品々や自分の宝物を持ち寄り、それを美術館に見立てた広坂商店街沿いのNTT香林坊ビル4Fに展示するというものです。また、金沢21世紀美術館の広場を使って、「31世紀こころの美術館」という人文字をつくります。こういった試みは、現実社会に対する緩やかな反対と理想の現れともとれます。「生活の芸術化」、「生活と芸術の一致」という近代美術のユートピア的な発想とも通底するこうした考えには、カミン・ラーチャイプラサートの空想、夢、理想とがないまぜになっています。その理想は、一見、空想的な姿をしているのですが、それがかえって歴史的な芸術、あるいはプロフェッショナルな芸術作品に対するアンチとしての意味を持ちます。[秋元雄史]
Kamin Lertchaiprasert shows interest in ref lecting directly on art people’s lifestyles and the value system as well as philosophy supporting them. In Kanazawa, he produces a project that questions the meaning of art through collaborating with many participants. Each participant brings his/her treasure to display in NTT Korinbo building that is likened to a museum. In addition, the words “31st Century Museum of Contemporary Spirit” are spelled out by arranging a group of people on the ground in the plaza of 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. His ideal is seemingly Utopian, but rather reveals his attitude against traditional art or professional artworks.
