Aiko MIYANAGA: beginning of the landscapes

Editor's Note

Written by Mizuki TANAKA

Published: May 17 2011

The masterpiece might be "beginning of the landscapes" which is also the exhibition title. The leaf of 60,000 leaves of a fragrant olive are connected to make one big cloth. This cloth is hung from the ceiling like a tent, and we can enter into the cloth. The leaves are bleached, and remain only the veins. The flow of time that the memory of a mellow sweet osmanthus that blooms in autumn flower of the smell and the orange, the missed existence of the leaf, and the leaf become like the bone becomes harmonious and it surges. The memory of the smell and the orange flower of a fragrant olive, the existence of the leaves which was overlooked, and the flow of time that the leaves became into the veins; all those memory and time flow arise to me there.

Artist File 2009 has no unified theme
which is said to be its main characteristic; however
my impression is loose
the same or looser than the last exhibition. But why were these particular nine artists selected when such criteria could be met by anyone?

In the dark exhibition hall
I found there was a storage box which resembled a treasure box that might be hidden in a small secret room in an old residence. Viewers could see inside the box through gashes on the top and through the narrow opening of the box.
