Kurashige Mitsunori (倉重光則) Installation - Steps Gallery (ステップスギャラリー) 2011/10

This installation (2011/10/01-15) by Kurashige Mitsunori (倉重光則) at Steps Gallery (ステップスギャラリー) consisted of a flashing white screen that I couldn't watch for very long without feeling dizzy, and - apparently - the neon scene depicted on the promotional card.  I say "apparently", because the gallery owner told me that he was instructed to take it down, as the tall part of the neon tube was considered to be dangerous (post 3/11, people are nervous about earthquakes, etc.).  Too bad, as it does look pretty cool in the picture on the card!

倉重光則展 / ステップスギャラリー

Incidentally, this is a new gallery, and while I haven't confirmed the reason for the name "Steps Gallery", it occurs to me in hindsight that it might be due to the fact that it's on the 5th floor in a building with no elevator.  The gallery owner appears to have a sense of humor, so I think that might be the reason.  この展示会は、ストローブの白いスクリーンとDM絵葉書のネオン... でしたが、僕は、ストローブだけが見た。 あの格好いいネオンは、「危ない」と言われたらしくて、残念ながら、僕の行った日は、無かった。 これは、新しい画廊で「ステップス」と言う名は、冗談らしい！ エレベーターの無い建物の五階なので...

Morisaki Henrix (森崎偏陸) Exhibition at Gallery Kobo (巷房) 2011/10

This exhibition/installation (2011/10/) by Morisaki Henrix (森崎偏陸) at Gallery Kobo (巷房) occupied all three Kobo display spaces and featured a vertical video in the basement that was quite interesting.  I've long thought it would be nice if monitors were +-shaped, so you could use both horizontal and vertical formats, but it was the first wholly vertical video I'd seen.  Now I'm especially looking forward to +-shaped monitors!  この展示会/インストレーションは、色々なエレメントがあって、縦のビデオは、結構面白かったでした。

This exhibition (2011/10/10-15) by Son Chey (孫綵梨) at Seika Gallery (静鹿ギャラリー) consisted of jewelry (accessories?) made with bits and pieces of materials left over from various manufacturing processes.  The artist obtains the materials from factories, and then adds color, markings, etc. and comes up with some very impressive looking results!  このアーティストは、工場の余った部品を使って、格好いいジュエリーの作品を作ります。

This exhibition (2011/10/10-16) by Kuroda Sakae (黒田さかえ展) at Shibata Etsuko Gallery (柴田悦子画廊) consisted of a variety of pictures not all in the same style.  I preferred the one featured on the postcard, and a picture of yellow flowers.  この展示会は、色々な絵があって、DM絵葉書と黄色い花の絵を一番好きでした。 [2010 Exhibition]

The artist has a website listed on the promotional card, but there wasn't anything there other than a title page when I checked - nevertheless, here is the link - presumably the artist will update the page eventually.

Tokyo Rakugo (東京落語) October 31st, 2011

Okay, now this one isn't art exactly (not in a painting sort of way anyway, although you could call it performance art), but I'd thought I'd toss it on the screen anyway.  Tokyo Rakugo (東京落語) October 31st, 2011  Rakugo is basically stand-up comedy (although the comedians are often sitting down when they do it).  I've heard various forms of this, but haven't see it live yet.  I'm hoping to before long!  ライブ落語はまだ見た事は無いが、近い内に見たいんなぁ。

This exhibition (2011/10/03-08) by Suda Michiko (須田道子) at Gallery Kobo (巷房) consisted of pictures in the style of the one featured on the promotional card.  It's only now - as I look at the picture on my computer screen - that I see a face in the upper left corner.  I didn't notice that when I first saw the promotional card or when I was at the exhibition... is that a coincidence, or is that an intentional face?  I met the artist, so I could have asked, but didn't notice it until now.  この展示会は、DM絵葉書のような絵でした。 只今、コンピューター画面で、左上の角に顔が見えてきて... それは、本当に顔のか、偶然で見えているのか...。 画家合えましたが、もっと早く気がついた良かった！
