「CMTK」是森、金氏兩人共同創作時採用的名字。森將她多年來在日常生活中拍攝的街頭照、風景照、電視畫面照等等的照片，以及多方收集的既成影像交給金氏。金氏則會進行編輯、拼貼，連結其他物質元件，或是利用「立體光柵印刷」(Lenticular Printing)這類的特殊印刷方式，直接印刷在大理石、混凝土之上，又或是利用動畫等影像，創作出各式各樣形式的雕塑作品。森拍攝的照片，表現出某種瞬即消失的，或者是某種會被當作是垃圾來看待的特定事物、情境呈現出來的美與光線，就像是某種不屬於這裡，通往另個場域的大門入口。透過金氏以其他物質元件進行拼貼之後，形成多重視線之下，多重截斷與多重接續混合形成的、無比複雜的，一種往來於現實與非現實之間的嶄新圖像。
此次展出作品，除了森個人新創作的畫作之外，還有金氏新創作的雕刻，以及作為CMTK，在各個地方計劃、製作出來的作品。 這些作品，都是基於以下思考所產生的： 「首先，我嘗試觀察：近在咫尺的他者、謎團、或類似存有，跟我們彼此之間共有，或者是沒辦法共有的事物。接下來，從這些事物彼此間的衝突、接續、並列出發，進行創作。最後，嘗試去想像、回憶，甚至是去逆轉已然遠離的時間與場域，或者是去逆轉當時的印象，以及當時發生的事物。我深信，無論身處任何一種時間、空間、情境，都有辦法發現其獨特的美。」 此次展覽主題「Yogurt Collage」，是從兩人的孩子不經意說出的話語中挑選出來的。藝術家覺得，小孩子話語的有時有著與兩人作品相似的能量與力度。 森個人的作品，除了透過她獨特的視角觀察到的城市景觀與商標符號，還疊加了她小時候的圖畫、塗鴉，並採用了瞬時之間誤認、誤聽的他者的話語。以重新詮釋時間、記憶、價值和脈絡的角度重建它們，並利用繪畫和裝置技術將它們輸出。她不僅在美術館及畫廊舉辦個展，也參與了國內外重要的聯展。在她的新作品中則是運用了水彩畫、水墨畫的技法，試著讓觀眾感受到：小範圍、瞬間描繪的圖畫在時間上、在規模上的擴大與變形。「Fruits Catch」這一系列雕塑與影像作品中，森則是以輕巧、隨意的誤植、誤認等等突發性異物之間的衝突，的方式體現了破壞社會間普遍既有的規則與價值觀的龐克精神。 金氏則是利用塑膠製品、玩具、建築材料、雜誌或廣告的剪報等等隨手可得的物品，運用拼貼的手法，嘗試探尋一種可以彰顯物質與形象關係的創作系統。此外，他也以雕刻為基礎，積極的與其他創作者進行共同創作，如舞台設計、戲劇等，嘗試運用極為多元的表現方式作為拼貼概念和手法的延伸。 此次發表作品包括「看不見的場所之神話」系列，金氏尋找既有的木雕工藝品，並將這些現成物打造成神話裡的怪物，以及將照片印刷於木板上，加工製作成雕塑作品的「Ghost in the Liquid Room」系列。 。。。。。。。。。。。。 The collaboration by Chihiro Mori and Teppei Kaneuji under the name CMTK began with Kaneuji editing, making collages with, and connecting materials to photos Mori has long continued to shoot on a routine basis of streets, landscapes, TV screens, and other subjects as well as pre-existing images collected by various means. The output consists of sculptured works made using lenticular and other special printing techniques, printing on materials such as marble and concrete, and animation and other visual images. Mori’s photos capture the beauty and light of things and situations that are ephemeral or treated like rubbish. They sometimes seem like doorways leading to someplace other than where we are now. The material collages made by Kanueji turns them into new images that are complex mixtures of multiple disconnections and connections based on multiple perspectives, and swing back and forth between reality and unreality. This exhibition will present new paintings and other works by Mori, new sculptures and other works by Kaneuji, and works by the two of them as CMTK that were produced for projects in various places. The makeup of this exhibition is based on the following statement by the two artists: “Our artistic production begins by confronting the most familiar and immediate others, the mysterious, the things we share and cannot share with such beings, and their collision, connection, and juxtaposition. We attempt to imagine, remember, and invert distant times and places, and images and events there. We believe that every time, place, or situation has its own unique beauty.” Yogurt Collage, the title of the exhibition, was chosen from notes they took of words that were unexpectedly voiced by their child. It sometimes seems to have the same function and strength as their works. Besides scenery and logos that caught her eye in her distinctive observations of the city, Mori’s own works superimpose drawings and graffiti she made as a child. She also actively incorporates momentary misperceptions, mishearings, and words spoken by others, and reconstructs time, memory, value, and context, as if to recapture them. For the output, she applies painting and installation techniques. In addition to holding solo exhibitions in museums and galleries, she participates in major group exhibitions inside and outside Japan. In her latest works, she employs watercolor and Indian ink painting techniques in transforming small drawings produced instantaneously into paintings, creating images that seem to blow up and deform scale and time. Composed of sculptures and video works, her Fruits Catch series embodies the punk spirit of trashing entrenched rules and values pervading society through the sudden clash of foreign bodies along the lines of misplacements and misperceptions, in a both graceful and flowing manner. Kaneuji applies collage-type techniques to create works using items in his surroundings, such as plastic products, toys, construction materials, and clippings from magazines and newspapers. He explores devices for a formative system that will bring out the relationship between material and image. While grounded in sculpture, his activities cover a wide range of other types of expression, from scenography to theater. In addition, he has been actively collaborating with other artists in ways that are extensions of the collage concept and methodology. This exhibition will show Myth of the Invisible Space, for which he dug deeper into or made additions to pre-existing works of wooden carving, and works from the Ghost in the Liquid Room series, which are sculptures using photos printed on wooden boards. |
