Current,Shoto Museum of ArtIn being held"Kiyoji ōtsuji photo encounter and collaboration."The we have to watch. Otsuji I did not know that the photographer named Seiji but, while the avant-garde photo production and criticism activities, such as "experimental workshop", "graphic population" in the 1950s, have pursued the possibility of photography as media If the thing was. Long live, Kuwasawa Design in Shibuya-ku,(Deputy Director-Masaaki Ichinose's interview here)From that he had taught at such, it seems to have led to the current planning.

Photographs whereas the subsequent ones high cutting-edge a sense of tension, such as is also an impact on contemporary art and design industry has seen many, there is also a work that kitschy taste has entered somewhere French pop style, It did things quite fun is also not too much not too little volume. Rashiku people who worked on aggressive in search of yet unseen representation, such as the self-made camera and objects are also on display, it is the journey spent a life was interesting to hear about the trial and error. Personally, to close-up the aircraft fuselage in black and white, continuous cropping that only the textures and metal seams of up of the surface that showed the presence in the "aircraft" was impressive. From the video of "Kinekarigurafu" paint or directly scratch the film enjoyed feeling the experimental spirit and elation, such as the early footage of Norman McLaren. Such as the series that took the everyday life of personal belongings, but only there were more than a few photos that do not feel the fun of as a representation too preceding idea, the impression that overall the I person who was in the group of the tip in still a certain age It was received.

Exhibition was also enjoyed, but the Shoto Museum of appeal is also seems to be on the uniqueness of the space of the building itself anything. Since the building has been the keynote of the cylindrical exhibition room also has become a semi-circular shape, and work along the inner wall is curved in the exhibition, hard work group also somewhere soft, gentle impression rounded in looks. Was the will enjoy without getting tired a little tend to be monotonous avant-garde photographs, perhaps there is also a strange museum itself of design. In addition, there is a fountain at the feet of the corridor of the ceiling with no atrium, I heard constantly the sound of the water and out into the hallway, pleasant early summer of blue sky was visible when looking up at the sky. The exhibition room was turned down blind so that the light does not enter, but there is a feeling of opening to indoor, was a good space of very pleasant.

If there is a floor upstairs that can snack on a par with the coffee shop, you can leisurely relax that while a little break in the exhibition room spacious deep sofas and tables have been installed. Placed a little bookshelf is in the vicinity of the entrance, was the space towards the comments of museum called "visitor also reported comes to be entertained all day coming from the morning." No wonder. In the Shoto Museum of Art,until nowAlso surrealism paintings holdings of private collectors from Japanese painting, to antiques from the picture of elementary and junior high school students, we perform a wide exhibition of width, I thought it was a museum that you want by all means try to stretch the legs when I stopped near It was.
