松村 要二 by 西江 雅之（文化人類学者） 松村要二の作品は、人の頭脳にではなくて、人の身体すべてに働きかけてくる。素材が竹や木切れや布などの場合は勿論だが、鉛の塊や鉄パイプのような冷たいもので作ってあっても、作品は人々に解釈や分析を要求するのではなくて、共感や期待へと誘い込む。いや、本当はむしろ周囲にいる人々の方がそうした気持ちを作品に訴えるようにと意図されているのであろう。そのことによって彼の作品は見るために展示されているというよりは、作品と共に人々が居るために置かれているからである。それは、ある空間と、その中で微妙に変化する時間と、そこに次々に生み出される新鮮な意味を、居合わせた人々が共有するということである。勿論、共有するのは同一の意味内容ではなくて、意味を与えたり与えられたりするという行為なのである。 (English) |
 Iriya FACTORY is a group of artists and designers who are interested in pursuing their work beyond the limits of the narrowly defined fields of Art and Design. Installation artist Yoji Matsumura and interior designer Yukio Hashimoto collaborated for the first time in 1997 on the design work for the building interior of a new company, Ciba Specialty Chemicals. The results of this collaboration can be viewed on this home page. In Japan, the blend of unique traditions and contemporary approaches can be seen in every aspect of daily life as well as in the creative work of artists. It is a challenge for artists to harmonize these two contradictory tendencies. Iriya FACTORY is a leader in the creation of original art & design work such as interior design, furniture, graphic and art works. |
