歴史の天使 @Watari-um

ワタリウム美術館で開催中の写真のエキシビジョン。マン・レイ、ウォーホール、ホルストなど、とても素敵なセレクション。それぞれの写真家ごとの展示作品が少ないのは残念だけど、まあ幅広く楽しめます。
ワタリウム美術館は今回はじめて行ったのですが、あまり大きくはないスペースの中に、ショップやカフェがあってとても面白い空間になっています。今日は平日だったせいか、フロアをほぼ独り占めできました。マリオ・ボッタによる建築らしいです。

I went to see "The Fallen Angels" exhibition at Watari-um Museum of Contemporary Art. It was about photography by such artist as Man Ray, Andy Warhol and Horst.P.Horst. There aren't many works by each photographer, but it was a good selection of important photographs.
This was my first time in Watari-um Museum. It is not a very big building but it contains a nice cafe and shop. Because today was a weekday, I enjoyed the whole space by myself. The building was designed by Mario Botta.

inochi @Kaikai Kiki Gallery

Kaikai Kiki Galleryで村上隆の『inochi』展が4/16まで開催中。村上さんご本人がギャラリーを横切るのを見てちょっとビックリ。
「iochiくん」というフィギュアそのものに加え、「inochiくん」というキャラクターを使ったCMやその制作過程、「inochiくん」を小さくしたフィギュアのおもちゃ（1体¥150,000）が展示されていました。プロジェクト、としてのアート、みたいなところでみせているのが面白かったです。

"inochi" exhibition by Takashi Murakami is held at Kaikai Kiki Gallery till 16/April. I saw Murakami walking across the gallery!
"inochi" is a character that Muarakami created. In the exhibition, inochi's figure was shown as well as the process of making a commercial which inoch appears, and miniature toys made from inochi (they sell these toys for ¥150,000). The exhibition was about a whole project. It was more than showing a piece of artwork. I don't generally like his work but this exhibition was really fascinating.
