東京からバスで約2時間、水戸芸術館で開催中のジュリアン・オピー展へ。磯崎新デザインの建物と、遠くからでもかなり目立ってるタワー。今日は水戸黄門まつりだとかで、炎天下にも負けず街中がにぎわっていました。
オピーの作品はすっきりしていて、ポップ×ミニマルな感じ。動く絵、といったところの映像作品や、浮世絵をもとに現代の日本の風景を表したものなど、面白かったです。調整中で見れない作品があったのは残念だったけど。美術館の壁に直接描かれている作品もあり、空間全体が楽しめる展示でした。

Julian Opie exhibition is held at Art Tower Mito which is about 2hrs by bus from Tokyo. The building is designed by Arata Isozaki, there is a 100m high metal tower next to it. Today Mito city was holding the Mito Komon Festival so a lot of people were on the street celebrating it.
Opie's work looks simple, cross between pop and minimalism. There were some moving pictures and some pieces influenced by Japanese Ukiyoe. It was pity that some of the work was temporary stopped. I enjoyed the whole space, some of his work is drawn on the wall of the museum and window.
