These technologies provide us with a convenient life, while also giving rise to catastrophe. Having experienced a nuclear disaster, we must once again consider these technologies lying within arm’s reach. In this regard, art can be of help. Art is a technique developed in the body, one honed by individuals within the various conditions of their daily lives. However, we tend to separate art from society, and have come to regard it as something special. Alternatively, we tend to use art as a means to affirm the status quo, as though it were a commodity or political policy. As such, we perhaps need to inspect not only modern technology, but also modern art. Only by this can a true “Arts of Existence” emerge in today’s modern society. In this exhibition, five artists express the awe of nature and the unknown, the joy of fumbling around and the humor that exists in the hand’s skill through a consideration of art and technology. They try to convey to us the techniques and energies necessary to explore in this harsh world. This book is the catalogue for the exhibition under the same title, held at sendai mediatheque, November 3 - December 24, 2017. Note: All the text written in Japanese only. - もとは同じ言葉でありながら、近代化の過程で意味が分かれた「技術」と「芸術」の関係について、震災後の東北に関心を寄せる青野文昭、飯山由貴、井上亜美、高嶺格、門馬美喜の5人の美術家がいま見つめるべき課題として問いかけた展覧会が、2017年11月から12月にかけて開催されました。 本書はその展覧会の記録集であり、またさらなる問いかけを投げかける一冊となっています。 <目次> *Q&A──出展作家による五つの応答(青野文昭/井上亜美/飯山由貴/高嶺 格/門馬美喜) *展覧会企画者による鼎談 (長内綾子×細谷修平×清水建人) *哲学者 鷲田清一による論考「不能の表出──三つの証言」 *社会学者 貞包英之による論考「テクノロジーとアートの危険な関係 地方にアートは必要か?」 *展覧会会期中に開催されたトーク 「コンニチノ技法」(粟田大輔・藤井光[cosmos-tv]、飯山由貴・高嶺 格[出展作家]、長内綾子・細谷修平・清水建人[展覧会企画者]) * yumbo(バンド)── 写真と詩 *キュレーター 清水健人による論考「コンニチ のメディアテークとインスタレーション」 <執筆者一覧> 青野文昭・井上亜美・飯山由貴・高嶺 格 門馬美喜・貞包英之・鷲田清一・粟田大輔 藤井 光・長内綾子・細谷修平・清水建人

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
