Sounds Interesting. The exhibition in Hiroshima is already over though. I could not come to see the show but, I still can enjoy his concept. I could hear the report of the show from Prof. Tsuda in his contemporary art theory class for master degree students of Nagoya University of Arts. It already sounds interesting that Starling made a specialist of Noh mask make masks for his concept. Moreover, he chose one of classic Noh stories to refer to Nuclear issue and money and art issues. Choices of character are hilarious. James Bond, Enrico Fermi, Henry Moore, Joseph Herman Hirshhorn, Colonel Sanders, Atom Piece and so on.. He matches those characters to original classic characters of the Noh. Whole thing is well designed with historical mapping. It is also great that the classic Noh can be played by traditional Noh actors instantly because he only switched those masks.
相当面白そうな展覧会。しかしもう終わっちゃったし、ちょっと広島までは行けなかったなあ。でもコンセプトだけでも楽しめる。 先週木曜日の名古屋芸術大学の津田先生の現代芸術特論での展覧会報告を拝聴。能面師にコンセプトに基づいて面を作らせるというだけで見るべきものはできあがっているけど、象徴的な古典の能の舞台の配役を原子力,核、金、アート、自然と人工物などのテーマを代弁する人物達の面を作ることで作ろうとしていて、なおかつそれをちゃんと能の役者さんが着ければ、古典なのでそのまま舞台ができてしまうというのがまたニクイ
