I visited the late phase of “Painting-Exercise (Rough Dimension)”, a three-part exhibition being held at Mikakunin Studio. This is finally the last installment.
The early phase can be found here.
The middle phase can be found here.
“Painting-Exercise (Rough Dimension)” Late Phase

This time, works greeted visitors as soon as they entered the venue. A distinct “different from before” atmosphere heightened my expectations.

The most striking was the corner devoted to Renichiro Tada. It’s a space where his “Red Person” works are lined up one after another.
The “Red Person” works are just visible. This room is the “Red Person” room.
Only this room stands independently. According to Tada, he wanted to create a space like a “Rothko Room”.
Every work is newly painted for this occasion, except for one shown in the previous middle phase. It was overwhelming and superb.

Summary
I was able to visit all three phases — early, middle, and late. As it was a paid exhibition at 700 yen per entry, my total came to 2,100 yen.
For an exhibition made up entirely of young artists rather than historical works, it was an unusual approach to charge admission, but I believe it turned out to be a passionate exhibition thanks to that very youthfulness. This was especially evident in the final “late phase” — the venue was filled with the energy of artists making new work and facing the exhibition during the run of the show. The artists’ power to keep experimenting through trial and error came through, and it felt like one form of contemporary art, so I came away with a positive impression throughout.
Unfortunately I was not able to purchase any works, but I did see several that left an impression on me.
Their future activities will likely go in different directions, but I’d like to keep an eye on the young artists I encountered through this exhibition. I wish them all the best!
A joint exhibition of young artists split across three phases.
While there were concerns about whether a paid event would draw an audience, the gallery seems to have been relatively lively, drawing steady attention.
The movements of exhibited works produced through short-term production activities were fascinating, and the process of trial and error came through, giving me a fresh sense of the scene.
I look forward to what these participating artists do next.

Mikakunin Studio에서 3기에 걸쳐 개최되고 있는 “Painting-Exercise (Rough Dimension)”의 후기 전시를 방문했습니다. 드디어 마지막 회입니다.
전기 소식은 여기에서 확인할 수 있습니다.

“Painting-Exercise (Rough Dimension)” 후기

이번에는 회장에 들어서자마자 작품이 관람객을 맞이해 주었습니다. ‘이전과는 다르다’는 느낌을 자아내어 기대감이 높아집니다.

압권이었던 것은 Renichiro Tada(다다 렌이치로)의 코너. “Red Person”(붉은 사람) 작품들이 죽 늘어서 있는 공간입니다.
살짝 엿보이는 “Red Person” 작품. 이 방이 바로 “Red Person”의 방입니다.
이 방만은 독립되어 있습니다. Tada가 말하기를, “Rothko Room”(로스코 룸) 같은 공간을 만들고 싶었다고 합니다.
지난 중기 때 선보인 한 점을 제외하면, 모두 이번을 위해 새로 그린 작품입니다. 압도적이었고 훌륭했습니다.

총평
전기, 중기, 후기 세 기간을 모두 감상할 수 있었습니다. 유료 700엔의 전시였기에 합계 2,100엔을 지불한 셈입니다.
역사적 작품이 아니라 젊은 작가들만의 전시임에도 입장료 시스템을 도입한 기획은 흔치 않지만, 젊음이 있었기에 가능한 뜨거운 기획전이었다고 생각합니다. 마지막 “후기”에서 특히 두드러졌는데, 회기 사이에도 작품 제작을 이어가며 전시에 임하는 에너지가 회장 안에 가득 차 있었습니다. 시행착오를 거듭하는 아티스트들의 힘이 전해져 오는 듯했고, 현대 아트의 한 형태를 보여주는 것 같아 호감을 가지고 끝까지 볼 수 있었습니다.
아쉽게도 작품을 구입하지는 못했지만, 몇 점 마음을 사로잡는 작품을 만날 수 있었습니다.
앞으로 각자의 활동 방향은 다를 테지만, 본 전시를 계기로 만난 젊은 작가들의 행보를 앞으로도 주목하고 싶습니다. 활약을 기원합니다!
3회기로 나뉜 젊은 작가들의 합동전.
유료 이벤트여서 관객 동원이 우려되었지만, 일정한 주목을 받아 갤러리는 비교적 성황이었다고 합니다.
단기간의 제작 활동을 통한 전시품의 변화가 흥미로웠고, 시행착오의 과정도 전해져 와서 신선한 감각을 잡을 수 있었습니다.
참여 작가들의 앞으로의 활동을 기대하고자 합니다.
