Gabriela Fridriksdottir
A very fantastic artist Gabriela Fridriksdottir.
I watched her work "Parsations" on the exhibition Transformation in Tokyo.
ガブリエラ・フリズリクスドッティ
http://www.mot-art-museum.jp/eng/2010/transformation/index.html
This work is the only one exciting exhibit for me. Transformation is basic concept of arts itself. The idea is not new for art. But the idea is new when you read book. To read the books by Shin'ichi Nakaza, one of the curators and addresses Anthropology symmetry is better after to see the exhibition. After reading the books, to see the exhibition is like to insert the right key into the right keyhole, then we see the scene that I could already imagined. No surprising and don't bring me to unexpected thrilling world. It's not easy to inspire alternative idea/vision etc. for audience. The audience have already had right answer. I realized the difficulty to make the exhibition with scholar. Blank is very important for audience in art space. If you haven't read the books, you could enjoy.
To favour this work might be from my taste.

beautiful Human Powered Helicopter YURI-I
I'm interested in human power recently. It's so elegant.
I saw the art work by Dinh Q. Le at Dojima River Biennale on Sunday of this week. The work is consist of two parts, a DIY helicopter inspired by two farmers who keen to have their own helicopter and videos of the interviews of the farmers and the victims of the Vietnam War and the scenes of wars with helicopters. It was so impressed to show longing and fear for technology. How we are strange creature.
Dinh Q. Lê: The Farmers and the Helicopters By Joselina Cruz
Accidentally I'm reading The Sorrow of War by Bao Ninh. The story is very dark, chaotic, and full of sorrow literally. But it draws me powerfully. The author illustrates obstinate memory, obsession and loss which came from the Vietnam War.
I met Clarence from Singapore in Shinjuku the day before yesterday. A dinner with him was enjoyable. We told about how important to have experience to live as a foreigner is. We took a walk in the town, in the bright and the dark. He got back to his country next day.

new things and old friend
Last Wednesday, I met my old colleague. We have met a lot of restaurants and bars in the world in several years. But we haven't been at a table of work since 2002, I think. We could discuss about the issue of Image. We can still share what we are interested in now, as well as before, or more before. We could meet again after going through different ways. I was very happy.

Open Studio at AIAV
I enjoyed to watch the residencies' ideas of Akiyoshidai International Artists Village and talk with visitors. I haven't imagined such a lot of people join the event in the rural area (nearly nothing around the building except mountain). They came from around the Yamaguchi prefecture. They like to communication with artists. It's cool.
Amazing Justin Fiske's work. He calculates all small stones' direction and speed when they rotate.
Shin il KIM's work influenced the philosophy of Japanese Shrine.
