概要:
カール・アンドレ(1935–2024)は1960年代後半のアメリカを中心に興隆したミニマル・アートを代表する彫刻家です。日本の美術館において初めての個展となる本展は、同一の形と大きさに加工した木、金属、石を床に直接置き、規則的に広がるアンドレの典型的な彫刻作品を大きな空間で展開します。アンドレは自身の作品が、それが置かれる周りの空間に作用するものであることを「場としての彫刻」という言葉で表しています。
整然として無機質な印象とは裏腹に、実際の作品を前にすると、金属の光沢や錆、木の手ざわり、石の重みなど、物質それ自体の大らかな姿を目にすることができます。不揃いなユニットが並んでいることにも気が付くことでしょう。
また、本展では知る人ぞ知るアンドレの詩をまとまったかたちで紹介します。タイプライターで断片的な単語を打ち込んで構成されるアンドレの詩は、読むことでも眺めることでも楽しめるものです。彫刻に通ずる空間的、構造的な認識や、文学、美術、歴史、政治など作家自身の幅広い思考が反映されています。
彫刻と詩という離れた表現で展開する、簡潔ながらも単純ではないアンドレの作品をぜひお楽しみください。
*本展は韓国・大邱美術館「2023 Umi Hall Project Carl Andre」(2023年9月26日~12月31日)の国際巡回展です。

Outline
Carl Andre (1935-2024) is one of the best-known sculptors of the Minimal Art movement, which emerged chiefly in the United States in the late 1960s. Between Sculpture and Poetry is Andre’s first solo exhibition in a Japanese museum. It makes full of use of its spacious venue to showcase Andre’s well-known sculptures made of blocks of wood, plates of metal, and slabs of stone processed to the same size and shape and placed in regular arrangements directly on the floor. In light of the way they act on the space in which they are installed, the artist describes these works using the term “sculpture as place.”
To view these sculptures in person reveals details that bely the regimented, inorganic impression they make: the way the metal gleams or rusts, the grain of the wood, the heft of the stone—the composed self-possession of matter itself. It also becomes apparent that not all of the units share the exact same size or shape.
Between Sculpture and Poetry also includes a selection of Andre’s poetry, which is evaluated highly by those familiar with it. Andre creates his poems by typing verbal fragments on a typewriter, and the results can be appreciated both as literature and as visual arrangements. Along with the spatial and structural awareness also evident in Andre’s sculpture, they reflect his thinking in a wide range of fields, including literature, art, history, and politics.
We invite visitors to Between Sculpture and Poetry to enjoy its presentation of Andre’s work in these two widely divergent forms.
Note: Between Sculpture and Poetry is an international traveling exhibition previously held at the Daegu Art Museum in South Korea from September 26 to December 31, 2023, under the title 2023 Umi Hall Project Carl Andre.
