秋吉台国際芸術村 Akiyoshidai International Art Village レジデンス・サポート・プログラム 2017-2018
9Karst terrain here. With black felt pens he drew plenty of pictures of people in Yamaguchi prefecture piece bypiece on pieces of roll Kent paper with some curls remaining. If I were asked to describe it was three dimentionalinstallation that reminds you of images of cascade like hundreds of dish-shaped stones in Akiyoshido cave. Itis rare installation that sublates stone formation in Akiyoshido cave and images of everyday life in Yamaguchi.Images of lifestyle and natural configuration in the flow of time makes one think about eternal time and its gap.This year’s artist from Finland was Katri Naukkarinen. She studied photographic philosophy and photography andcreates photograph-based works. Her approach was not photographic this time but it was research into layersof invisibles in surrounding environment, such as materials like particles and symbolic ones like entangled vines.What she presented this time was not two-dimensional work like photographs, but it was an installation work with“a fog-filled glass box”(Fog box *1) as the central piece and some other variety of components in a dark space.Provided with pen and paper, her audience were asked to write their impression about what they saw in the fogbox without any clear explanation and later the audience placed these papers with their impression on a wall. Ifyou have scientific knowledge about particles in advance, you could immediately find out what was in the glassbox. However, if you didn’t have any knowledge in advance, it must look mysterious and dramatic phenomenon.Being conscious about such natural phenomenon that one can’t see in normal condition and thinking about suchmysterious quality and deep space in nature, I found similarity to a feeling when I watched a film,“Solaris” byAndrei Tarkovsky, a film director.Ewa Weso?owska lives and works in Cracow, Poland practiced as a sculptor and later she works on integratingtraditional crafts and scientific technologies. She talked about scientific knowledge like relativity theory by Einsteinand she also strongly reflected them on her work this time, as well. She told me that she would like to presentother goals or to draw other possibilities, not just to respond to “The Future of This Land”. The resulting workswere clock-clicking sound in interval and video works composed of images of a cave as a tourist destinationand of a quarry among others. There was also interactive video work about a cave. It seemed that the worksas a whole might not easily accept specific understanding and interpretation so that one might think about otheranswers or purposes in her work. Each work implies her thoughts relating with matter of time. About a series ofvideo works shown in CRT TV lined up in a row, I sensed her intention for her audience to experience the temporalpassage during her stay at AIAV as a vicarious experience. Like a disappearing water on asphalt in a street duringMidsummer, a video projection showing inside of Akiyoshido cave in a dark space looked implying a referenceto a fog-filled glass box which makes traces of particles visible and I thought it is quite interesting to see thecoincidental appearance as a reference to the Glass box by Katri mentioned earlier.What I felt the most in this program was about prominent quality in each work and at the same time aboutimpression from the works which looked reflecting cooperative chemical reactions among participating artists,AIAV staff, volunteers, supportive companies, individuals and organizations in gorgeous natural environment andlocally inherited customs and culture. There won’t be direct answers to “The Future of This Land”, but I would thinkthat these works suggested quite rich insights. Last but not least, I would like to praise all the artists who spent timefor their research and creation over the freezing winter and at the same time I would like to express my highestgratitude to everyone who supported them.Professor at Department of Education at Yamaguchi UniversityDirector at N3 ART LabArtistYoshihisa Nakano*1 : In English, cloud chamber is a term by Charles T.R. Wilson, Scottish physicist. It is a device to visualizetraces of radiation by using steam condensation.*2 : Film made by MOS film in 1972. Encountered “the unknown”, a main character was put into extremesituation and he suffered over the fictitious image of his wife. The film was about focusing on internal nature ofhuman and suggested moral and philosophical issues. The original piece was science fiction novel “Solaris” byStanis?aw Lem from Poland.
