MANAMI HAYASAKI展 [Link]
dream helix

以前もメモした切り絵アーティストのまなみさんの個展。
日本酒もってオープニングパーティにいったらシャンペンの雰囲気でした。
その仕事の丁寧さにただただ溜息ものです。
シルエット好きなのでいろいろインスピレーションもらいました。
5月末までやっておりますので、ぜひ。最寄り駅はピムリコ、テートブリテンのすぐ近く。
　日程：2008年04月30日～05月31日
　時間：10:00～17:30　*土曜日は01:30まで
　場所：Long & Ryle (4 John Islip Street. London, SW1P 4PX)
　> Manami Hayasaki graduated from Chelsea College of Art in 2007.
　> This is her first solo exhibition.
　> Using a scalpel, Haysaki cuts large sheets of thin black card
　> with the intricacy and instinctive invention of a spider constructing a web.
　> Many of the works in this exhibition are over a metre across,
　> suspended on fishing line from the ceiling or glued to nails on the walls.
　> Integral to the works are the slanting shadows
　> that the cut-outs cast on the walls.
　> These shadows underline the fragility of the created objects -
　> emphasising their thinness -
　> whilst at the same time confusing their graphic simplicity.
　> Fact becomes uncertain and the birds,
　> beasts and flowering plants are untethered
　> from their moorings in the real world and are allowed to dream.
　> Hayasaki’s subject matter alternates
　> between the organic forms of nature and the invented forms of toys.
　> The appearance of these closely observed silhouettes
　> is reminiscent of zoological illustration,
　> and there are several works in which the artist seems to be evoking the
　> classification indices of science.
　> This is a playful appropriation -
　> the composition are decided entirely on aesthetic grounds,
　> skewed with a dry whimsy:
　> in one of the works an albatrosses’ wings have been replaced
　> with the bones of a dinosaur.
　> The work will be installed throughout the space,
　> and the walls of the gallery will be painted black
　> and white alternately. The exhibition can be previewed on Tuesday 29th April.
