東京オペラシティアートギャラリーは、これまで企画展と並行して収蔵品のコレクション展を継続的におこなってきた。アートギャラリー全館を使った今回の展示は、その2600点以上におよぶオペラシティの収蔵品を「生命と大地」というコンセプトのもとに編み直したものである。
大地とか土とか、自然をからめた作品て強いなあと思った。人間は自然のなかで生きているからかな。個人的にインスタレーションにも弱いので、大好きになった作品がいっぱいあった。
土とか大地が軸の展示だけど、それと関連して水とか空気の要素も感じられた。ライティングの光が、陶芸作品に当たって、反射して、すごくきれいだった。
あとオペラシティの展示室って水戸芸にすごく似てる気がする。気のせいかな。
