冨井大裕展「泊まる彫刻」関連イベントheads barが2019年4月27日(土)開催！

冨井大裕、保井智貴、熊谷卓哉の3名がホテル屋上にて八坂の塔を背景に首像彫刻の公開制作を行います。さらに日本酒がメインのbarが特別オープン！公開制作を鑑賞しながらお酒を楽しんでいただけます。このロケーションで展開される首像彫刻公開制作はおそらく史上初！見逃す手はありません！

heads barは彫刻制作の現場を見せるバーである。正確には彫塑による首像彫刻の制作現場。西洋からやってきた彫刻の約束事と様式を、見るという技術とその展開ー誤読の可能性と読み替えることは可能か否か。京都八坂のホテル屋上、80年代アメリカンロックの調べに乗って、日本の東に未だ伝わる「近代伝統技法」再考の狼煙が上がる。

Heads Bar (Live performance art on portrait sculpture, from 15:00, April 27th)

We are delighted to announce that RC HOTEL KYOTO YASAKA will have an art exhibition “Accommodating Sculpture” by the sculptor Motohiro Tomii.*Please note that a part of artworks will be displayed at gallery rooms and the hotel lobby first. Then all the artworks will be a public exhibition from April 27th (sat) except gallery rooms.

I decided to exhibit my artwork in RC HOTEL KYOTO YASAKA. I cannot produce and exhibit my artwork for particular guests because different guests will stay at the hotel every day. It is not absolutely impossible, but my artwork may rule for guests how to spend the room. I think that is not a very happy way for both guests and my artwork. So I stretch my mind with other perspectives, I came up with an idea that my artwork will accommodate the hotel*. However, my artwork cannot pay accommodation fee to stay there, so I placed artworks not disturbing way for guests who really stay with.
*I kept in my mind following points below:

1. About the hotel → Reinforced concrete structure → figures by molding in shapes by liquid
2. About views→ things may change from as it is, a slightly different space-time
3. About luggage →things holed and opened in rooms.
– Motohiro Tomii

To accommodate the hotel is the action that only human beings can do. By seeing the title of this art exhibition, you may see the artworks with coexisting humanity and substances. You can even see human motif among his artworks which is extremely rare. It seems unnatural however this development may be natural as a sculptor. We can say sculpting artworks by using major materials such as plaster shows us what a sculpture is by this historical background or image. Thus using plaster or other sculpting materials for sculpture are a requirement or rules that many artists had to maintain.
In Tomii’s previous artworks using ready-made goods, it was extremely ambitious to call it as sculpture because it seems far from our images on sculpture, yet his message or intention was very clear because he constructed with a detailed plan and clear images. On the other hands in his artworks this time, he clarifies a theme(human) which he had not themed so obvious before. Yet its ambitiousness on sensitivity or styles stands out as a result because he did not construct in detailed. This ambiguity may show us his desire and fascination for the art of sculpture.
Seeing Motohiro Tomii’s artworks at the hotel where is human scramble makes me think about what is sculpture.
– Planned by Takuya Kumagai, Art Director of RC HOTEL KYOTO YSAKA

By adding to ready-made goods minimally, he releases a fixed meaning that ready-made goods used to have, and he discovers new perspectives of sculpture adding new color and shapes. He uploads” Today’s Sculpture” on his twitter as an art performance. He also examines breaking rules or criticizing exhibition space of sculpture’s tradition. He drawled attention from these activities.

客室展示　CERAMIC ROOM

CERAMIC ROOM

Schedule: December 2, 2018-Feburary 1st, 2019

Participating Artists：SHOKKI, DAISAK, Mari Tanimoto, Jasmine Noda

Room Gallery：Room 301 ＆Room 302 at RC HOTEL KYOTO YAKASA

Public Exhibition: 15:00-22:00 Lobby at RC HOTEL KYOTO YAKASA

We are pleased to announce that we are having a group art exhibition “CERAMIC ROOM.” Participating artist are SHOKKI, DAISAK, Mari Tanimoto and Jasmine Noda who have distinct styles in Japanese ceramics field which we come up with the image of traditional and conservative.

Unique hand-build forms and this loosen shapes are very characteristic of SHOKKI. His style rebels against Japanese ceramic tradition and makes his works beyond utility even it makes his edge pretty effective.

Humorous characters are standing out in DAISAK’s primitive molding design. At first glance, it looks goofy but you can catch a glimpse of a side of his impressive technique and passion for pottery in his laid-back art works.

Mari Tanimoto approaches a challenging theme with her pottery, which is “baked pottery but failed.” Interestingly enough, it turns a very unique expression and she continues pursuing her originality on her pottery.

You can see detailed and delicate design in well-controlled pottery, done by Jasmine Noda. You may see introspective pieces from it. Even though he is currently attending a college, he created his own design, shooting photos of his works, and branding by his own.

Moreover we place a catalog at the hotel lobby, introducing each artists designed by Daichi Aijima. You are able to see various art works.

Please check this exclusive collaboration with these pottery artists who are trying an approach from new points of view, and RC HOTEL KYOTO YASAKA groping for modern existence in the most historical district.
