それぞれが確立されていて、すごいばらばらでちぐはぐなんだけど、それでいて揃ったときにはカッチリ噛み合うような。ふたりの関係がすごく絶妙。かっこいいー！
かなり疲れた状態でいったけど、見てる間はそんなこと忘れて始終百面相状態でした。ひとりだったのに・・・・。図録買っちゃった。きゃ。

ケチな私も思わず図録を買ってしまいました（笑）

とにかく色々面白かったですね。
「その手があったか！」という感じ。

会田氏の作品は割とクセがある方だと思うので
その辺を心得ている方は楽しめると思います。

万人向けとは言いませんが、おすすめします。

It is too obvious what motivates Aida to produce art - his obsession of little Japanese girls and all other kinds of social issues. "Azemichi" was something that you cannot look at without giggling. He must have looked at a girl so obsessibly, he could see "Azemichi (a path between rice fields)" on her head. "Blender" was one of his paintings I've seen before in some books. So I was expecting to see more of this kind of abusive images of young Japanese girls at the exhibition. But sadly, there weren't too many of this kind of painting.

I personally did not care about Yamaguchi's works as much. Sure, his works were interesting as of its reference of traditional Japanese paintings. I rather enjoyed his non Japanese looking paintings. I really liked his "Painting can be useful" series. One of the series, he ironically suggested that painting can be used as a calender. (only if you are rich enough to collect all On Kawara's paintings for 365 days!)

Fantastisch!
