"Fiction for the Real" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo
Media: Painting, Photography, Prints, Digital
It is often said that art forms became diversified in the 1990s more than ever before. The scene was rather chaotic, reflecting upon the remarkable development in information technology as well as the dismantling of the Cold War world order of East vs West. How do artists react when the concept of "truth" has become ambiguous?
This exhibition features four female artists - Reiko Ikemura, Sophie Calle, Miwa Yanagi, and Chiharu Shiota. They all work in different media and have different approaches to the concept of the "real", and yet they apply fictional narratives which ultimately lead viewers to paradoxical discoveries.

Merging Myths and the Everyday - "Fiction for the Real"
A long corridor filled with women in orangey-red elevator girl outfits lying along the length of a travelator...
“リアル”とは何かと改めて問われると戸惑う。まず思い浮かべるのは日常、毎日の生活、身近にいる人の動作や声、といった五感に訴えるものだろうか。けれど、実際にはテレビやパソコン、携帯電話などが普及し情報過多の世の中でフィクションはリアルとの距離を確かめる時間を許されないまま、大量に脳になだれ込んでくる。パソコンの画面から得られる情報、広告は街の空間や媒体を埋めつくし消費を操作する。
リアルとかフィクションという言葉を意識することなく展示をみていたけど、どことなく違和感が付きまとった。泥をひたすらかぶり続けたり、案内嬢が並んでいたり、かわいい、気がするけど、それだけじゃない、なんだっけ、なんか忘れてるような。。。
文章を読んで、そこでリアルとフィクションというものの今日の関係を再考するきっかけを与えられたとき、すこしそのつかえがとれた気がした。

リアルのためのフィクションというより国立近代美術館常設展の感想
Japan Times Art Brief
By C.B. Liddell
Apparently the smudged and blurry divide between reality and the realm of fiction and fantasy concerns women more than men ...

今日観た「リアルのためのフィクション」展におけるやなぎみわ氏や塩田千春氏、あるいは「記憶の位相－Aspects of Memory」展の福居伸宏氏は、いずれも美に対する信頼を共有していないというか、少なくともそのような信頼を決して自明とすることなく、むしろ美に対する信頼が失われていることをはっきりと自覚した上で、そのことを乗り越えようとしているのではないかと感じる。
