On November 30, I visited the "CHIHARU SHIOTA I to EYE" exhibition at the Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka.
I was not very tired from the solo exhibition and thought I could go after three days and three nights of rest, but it took me a long time to get there. Come to think of it, this was the first time since I moved into my current house, so I had no idea how long it would take, and it ended up taking nearly two hours each way by Kyoto City bus, the Keihan Main Line, and the Keihan Nakanoshima Line.
When I entered the museum, there was a huge line of people, mostly young people. If I had been told to line up here, I would have sat down right there. Fortunately, disabled people like me were able to get in at a reduced rate, and there was a separate line.
The image I had of Chiharu Shiota was a vivid red world. The installation looked like a neuron with red ropes stretched around it. What greeted me in the exhibition room was also an installation with a large amount of red rope and cloth hanging from it. Personally, I found the next installation, “Circulating Memories,” with white threads, etc., to be the highlight of the exhibition. It was a large scale work that visitors could pass through like a tunnel.
The exhibition was not limited to installations, but included paintings, sculptures, videos (performance, stage design, etc.), illustrations for serialized newspaper novels, and a wide range of other works, fully demonstrating Chiharu Shiota's abilities as an artist. Her video works were especially good, and I wished I could shoot video myself.
Anyway, as someone who works in the same field of art as myself, I found the exhibition informative.
It was almost noon when I finished the exhibition, but the restaurant inside the museum was already full. I had no choice but to sit outside on a bench and eat a snack I had bought at a convenience store. It took me two hours to return home, and I was exhausted. After writing this, I think I will take a short rest.

11月30日に大阪中之島美術館で開催中の「塩田千春 つながる私(アイ)」展を鑑賞した。
個展の疲れがなかなか取れず、三日三晩休んで行けるかと思ったが、行くのに時間がかかった。そういえば今住んでいる家に引っ越してからは初めてだったので、所要時間がわからず、結局京都市バスと京阪本線と京阪中之島線を乗り継いで片道２時間近くもかかった。
そして館内に入ると、若い人を中心に大行列があった。ここに並べと言われたらその場に座り込んでいたに違いない。幸いに私のような障がい者は割引料金で、並ぶ列も別にあったのでなんとか入れたが。
私が塩田千春に持っていたイメージは、鮮烈なまでの赤い世界である。赤いロープを張り巡らせたニューロンのようなインスタレーション。展示室で私を出迎えたのはやはり赤いロープと布を大量にぶら下げたインスタレーションであった。個人的にはその次の白い糸などによるインスタレーション「巡る記憶」が圧巻だった。トンネルのように観客がくぐれるようになっていて、スケールの大きな作品だった。
今回の展示はインスタレーションにとどまらず、絵画、立体、映像（パフォーマンス、舞台美術など）、新聞連載小説の挿絵など多岐にわたり、塩田千春の美術作家としての力量を存分に見せていた。特に映像作品が良くて、私も映像が撮れたらいいなあと思った。
とにかく同じ美術に取り組む私としては勉強になる展覧会だった。
観終わったらほぼお昼だったが、館内のレストランは既にいっぱいだった。しかたなく外のベンチに座ってコンビニで買って持ってきていた軽食を食べた。そして帰りも２時間かけて帰り、疲れ果てた。これを書いたら、しばし休憩しようと思う。
