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.
