"Self / Other" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo
Media: Painting, Photography, Prints, Sculpture, Video installation, Art Talk
Today, in the chaos of diversity, how can we pay attention to "the other," the one different from oneself, and accept its values? To begin with, do we "understand" ourselves? This exhibition presents contemporary works from the collections of the national museums that explore new relationships between "the self" and "the other," by reviewing each of the acts of seeing, recognizing, and questioning the subject of such acts.

「わたし」というものが最初から存在するのではなくて、「他者」—社会に生きるほかの人々—との関係の中でできあがっていくものだとするならば、今日わたしたちが感じる、めまいにも似た存在の不安は、ただのアイデンティティの問題にとどまらないはずです（パンフレットからの引用）
とは言え展示はアイデンティティの問題に収束しているように思えるのだが。少なくとも心身問題的な「わたし」、意識のハードプロブレムに挑戦するようなものはなかったと思う。提示の仕方次第ではそのような「わたし」に切り込んでいくこともできたのではないか、と思うが。他者との関係を重視しているのでそれは仕方ないのかもしれない。

優れた作品を見ていると
わたしたわしだわ、みたいな自分の価値のなさに
気づかされる事も無くはない。
