At the 2nd floor gallery of the Ginza Retro Gallery MUSEE (Muse) facing Ginza 1-chome, Showa-dori, a new exhibition by Masaichiro Kurashina, "hitokariudo hunter human hanter proliferating assemblies art metal object "Different World" + "Time Machine" is being held.
Mr. Kurashina's exhibition at this gallery seems to be the third time.
Mr. Kurashina has a unique background, and for 35 years at Shogakukan, he has been in charge of Shotaro Ishinomori, Mitsuru Adachi, Saito Taka as manga editors, Fujio Fujiko A and many other such writers.
After serving as editor-in-chief of "Big Comic", he is currently working as an advisor to Fujiko Studios at the line of creations such as "Laughing Sumaman NEW" project.
At the same time, as an artist, he pursued his own world view with objects and sculptures made of electronic devices and metal materials = "Assembly Art".
"Assembly art" is an art that collects materials and waste materials such as paper, wood chips, and metal plates into works.
For this reason, Mr. Kurashina can collect materials that are likely to be used as materials for the work at antique markets () etc.
Kurashina's "work" that combines springs, motors, gears, metronomes, and mysterious machines is displayed in the gallery where the lighting is set dimly dimly dim.
Due to the scary name "Hitokari Udo", the presence of old brass, the sound of inorganic gears that carve over time, the combination of the rhythm of the metronome, etc., when you enter the venue, you will be taken to a completely different world It seemed to have been taken, and on the contrary, I felt good.
Is the white and black tiles of the pine pattern used in key points called "retro modern" or old and new?
Why don't you experience a mysterious exhibition where works created by combining brass scraps look like a Buddha statue of gold leaf carrying nimbus?
The event will be held until February 25 (Sun), so if you are interested in the new exhibition of the author who has both "manga editors" and "artists" on this blog, please drop in early.
Please note that the time is from 11:00 to 18:00, but the last Sunday is until 16:00.
In addition, we received your consent for photography in the gallery, and Mr. Kurashina gave a careful explanation of the exhibits directly.
Thank you very much
