戦略会議 #06 現代アートキュレーション／ Anne d’Harnoncourt アン・ダノンコート読解

昨日に引き続き、今日も「キュレーション 「現代アート」をつくったキュレーターたち」の担当を読解。 ②Anne d’Harnoncourt アン・ダノンコート 1982年から2008年まで、フィラデルフィア美術館の館長を務める。 1969年夏にマルセル・デュシャン没後、カサンドラ財団を通して、ビル・コブリーからの寄贈というかたちでデュシャンの遺作＜与えられたものとせよ＞の寄贈を受け、その時に実際に設置にあたる。 直後にウォルター・ホップスとともに美術館の紀要として＜与えられたものとせよ＞についてエッセイを執筆。マルセル・デュシャンをはじめ多くのアーティストのエキスパートとして知られる。 ＜影響を受けた人物＞ ・ルネ・ダノンコート （父）　 1939年 サンフランシスコ世界博覧会で、ネイティブ・アメリカン・インディアンのアートを、アートとして、かつ民族的な素材として紹介した ・ジェームス・ジョンソン・スウィーニー MoMA?、グッゲンハイム、テキサスの興行師 ・A・ジェームス・スペイヤー 1961年から1986年までのあいだ、シカゴ アート・インスティチュートの20世紀美術のキュレーターを務める。ミース・ファン・デル・ローエの弟子。 シカゴ アート・インスティチュートのモートン・ウイングでの数々の展示を手がけた。 1969−71年にアン・ダノンコートをアシスタント・キュレーターとしてともに仕事をした。 上記3人の影響を受ける。 3人は展示の仕方に焦点を当て、作品がどのように見せられるかということに関心をもっていた。 作品を展示の方法に埋没させることなく、その真価を問う。 アーティストと直接一緒に仕事をすることの絶対的な喜び。 ＜フィラデルフィア美術館、マルセル・デュシャンとの出会い＞ 1967年秋、フィラデルフィアにて彼の作品を持ってきたアレンスバーグ家という偉大なコレクターについてインタビューをした。 1968年夏デュシャン死去 この後、フィラデルフィア美術館は、カサンドラ財団を通して、ビル・コブリーからの寄贈というかたちでデュシャンの遺作＜与えられたものとせよ＞の寄贈を受ける。 秘密裏にNYより、作品を移動設置し、1969年夏に＜与えられたものとせよ＞は公開。 その時に、ウォルター・ホップスとともに美術館からのコミッションにより＜与えられたとせよ＞についてのエッセイを執筆。 フィラデルフィア美術館のアレンスバーグ・コレクションは文字通り、デュシャン・ギャラリーとなった。アートとアーティストが好きな若者にとって「最高の環境」となった。 この後、シカゴのアート・インスティチュートへ行き、ジム・スペイヤーのアシスタントとして1971年まで働く。 1971年にフィラデルフィアに戻り、それまでなかった20世紀美術のキュレーターに就く。 ＜美術館の役割、キュレーターの役割＞ 「キュレーターというのは、アートの喜び、アートの強さ、アートの破壊力などについて、人々の目を開かせるものだと思っている」 「見て見て見て、さらに見て見て見て、またさらに見て見て見よ、ということです。見ることに代わるものはないですから。アートとは全て、見ることに集約されるのです。それは表面を見ることにとどまりません。より深く見るということであり、つまり見ることで考えることになるのです。これはデュシャンのいう「網膜的」であれと言っているわけではありません。アートと「共に」あれということです。ギルバート＆ジョージの「アートと共にあれ」というのはまさしく名言ですね」 pp.254 現代アートで面白いのは「作品の横に解説を貼りますか？それとも来場者に考えてもらうことにしますか？」という言説が常に繰り返されることです。私は、もしアーティストがよほど嫌がらなければ、充実したテキストを置くことを勧める立場をとっています。＜中略＞来場者はそれを読んで、同意したりしなかったりすることで、考えの叩き台が得られるからです。＜中略＞こういう解釈をしている人もいますが、これが正しいということではありません。という立場です。あくまである種のフレームワークの提案なのです。 pp.259 こうすればいい、という正解はないのです。好きなように反応してもらって良くて、美術館はそこで新たな見方をする可能性やそのための情報を提供しますよ、ということです。 pp.261 美術館は、外から見ると巨大で威圧的なネオクラシカル様式の神殿のような建物に見えますが、なかで行われていることは、外観からはまるで想像がつかないということです。＜中略＞世界に向けられて開かれた窓のようなもので、光があり空気があり広い空間があるので、いろんなつながりを見出す余裕があります。 pp.263 大事なのは全てが同じになることではなく、むしろ全てが異るままに、異なった空間の中で経験する可能性を、提供することです。 pp.265 美術館のあり方からフィラデルフィア美術館の拡張時に考えたこと、 ユートピア的なプロジェクトの質問では美術館の無料化（図書館のように）インターネットの活用によりかえって「モノ感」を失わないことなど。 忘れられない展示として1979年の「シヴァ神の出現」と話はつづく。 ＜関連のあった作家＞ マルセル・デュシャン マーク・ロスコ ルイーズ・ネヴェルソン アレクサンダー・ガルダー ジャスパー・ジョーンズ ジョン・ケイジ マース・カニンガム キーン・ホルツ ギルバート＆ジョージ 他多数

とざっとこんな感じ。 ＜概要＞ 父、ルネ・ダノンコートのもと、MoMA、フィラデルフィアで若い頃から多くのアーティストと接点はあった。1960年の後半、特にマルセル・デュシャンの死後彼の遺作＜与えられたもの＞の秘密裏な寄贈・設置というプロジェクトに関わり、ウォルター・ホップスとともに＜与えられたもの＞についてのエッセイを執筆。その後、積極的にアートの世界での活躍の幅を広げる。1969−71年の間、シカゴのアート・インスティチュートにてジム・スペイヤーのもとアシスタント・キュレーターとして働く。 1971年にフィラデルフィアに戻り、当時はなかった20世紀美術のキュレーターとして10年にわたり、20世紀美術のコレクションを作り、NY、シカゴと連携し多くの展示を手���ける。 現在は多少なり浸透している、現代アートへの見方の基盤となる考え方、美術館と現代アートのアーティスト、作品との関わり方、あり方などの基本的な考え方は彼女の言葉から出てきたのではないか？と思えるほどに現代アートへの考え方を明確に言語化している。 戦略会議 #06 現代アートキュレーション

Comedian Kevin Hart injured in Southern California car crash

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor-comedian Kevin Hart has been injured in the crash of a vintage muscle car in the hills above Malibu.

A California Highway Patrol collision report says the 40-year-old Hart was a passenger in a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda that went off Mulholland Highway and rolled down an embankment around 12:45 a.m. Sunday.

The report says Hart and the driver, 28-year-old Jared Black, both suffered “major back injuries” and were taken to hospitals.

Another passenger, 31-year-old Rebecca Broxterman, only complained of pain.

This is how to get around by bike

The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia shared this map for cyclists trying to get to or get around the NFL Draft. Note that the Indego Art Museum Station has been temporarily moved closer to the Schuylkill River Trail.

Best ways to get there:

Walk: If you have a smartphone, put “Benjamin Franklin Parkway” into your map and start your trek. You can’t miss it.

Take SEPTA: The city is encouraging drivers to park down in South Philly at the sports stadium complex, where parking will be free during the draft. From there, take the Broad Street Subway at AT&T Station, located at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, and get off at City Hall or Race and Vine and walk to the parkway.

If you take SEPTA regional or the Market-Frankford Line, get off at 15th Street/Suburban Station, which drops you off right at the foot of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. (More information on SEPTA detours and travel info over here.)

My current painting depicts one of the many bays of columned pediments that grace the multiple facades of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This particular one faces Anne d’Harnoncourt Drive.

I haven’t yet decided if this piece is done. I’m thinking of revisiting some of the highlights and shadows on the architecture, but I’ll need a brand new triple zero brush to accomplish it. I hope to drop it off at the gallery early in coming the week.

Ten years ago today, our East Terrace became the site of a blossoming flower of light and fire by Cai Guo-Qiang. “Fallen Blossoms” derives its name from the classical Chinese proverb “hua kai hua luo,” which speaks to the profound feeling of loss when a life is cut short unexpectedly. The one-time ephemeral event was held in 2009 as a memorial to the late Anne d’Harnoncourt, former director of the museum.

Philadelphia Museum of Art’s construction fence is a work of art

Can this happen at every construction site?

Let’s face it: More often than not, construction sites aren’t all that pretty. And over at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, there is a whole lot of it going on, from work on the $196 million Core Project by Frank Gehry to the construction of an outdoor festival for this month’s NFL Draft.

But it doesn’t surprise us that the art museum has figured out a pretty creative way to minimize all that mess: By building a construction wall made of art.

As Co.Design reports, the Philadelphia Museum of Art turned to Pentagram years ago for help, long before any work had started on its ambitious expansion project. The design firm came up with the idea to create an impromptu, outdoor art installation that would double as a construction fence during renovations.

Called “Constructionism,” the installation features a 450-foot-long wall of various art pieces—75, in fact—of varying sizes that lean against large slabs of plywood. Don’t be fooled if the “gallery” selections seem mismatched—that was purposeful, according to Pentagram:

The pieces are loosely arranged in groupings that appear random but have been curated to create surprising combinations that offer a visual dialogue between works. For instance, three portraits painted in very different styles may appear together, inviting comparisons.

Right now, the installation is located mostly at the corner of Kelly Drive and Anne d’Harnoncourt Drive, but it may move around as construction continues, according to Pentagram. The artwork may change, too, with the museum swapping out pieces for others over the course of the three-year-long project.

It also serves as part of the museum’s “Inside Out” exhibition, which every year brings remakes of paintings and prints to the streets and sidewalks in various Philly neighborhoods.

“Constructionism is a celebration of what the Museum does, which is make art accessible to the city,” Pentagram’s Paula Scher said.

Here’s what “Constructionism” looks like right now, now on display outside of the museum.

Philadelphia Museum Of Art Breaks Ground On Frank Gehry-Designed Expansion

Exciting things are happening at the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art!

Last week, the museum broke ground the first step in a brand-new (and highly anticipated) expansion, which will add tens of thousands of square feet to the galleries and public spaces.

FAST FACTS

The Philadelphia Museum of Art broke ground on The Core Project, a 23,000-square-foot expansion.

The expansion will add tens of thousands of square feet to the galleries and public spaces at the museum.

The Core Project will also unveil new space for the modern and American art galleries.

The Master Plan

Plans to renovate the main building have been under consideration for more than a decade, with an initial integrated Facilities Master Plan completed by architectural engineering firm Vitetta in 2004 and design development by Frank Gehry and his group dating back to 2006, when former Philadelphia Museum of Art director Anne d’Harnoncourt asked Gehry to head the project.

Gehry, renowned around the world for such expressive buildings as the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, has taken a very different approach with the Philadelphia Museum of Art project. Gehry was tasked with updating the interior of the museum while keeping the exterior of the proclaimed “Parthenon on the Parkway” the same. So, the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s exterior will remain the same throughout this process.

Guests can view Frank Gehry’s renderings and an architectural model of the designs in a first-floor gallery in the museum. The model and renderings will be on view until late 2018.

The Core Project

The Core Project phase of the Master Plan is currently underway at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This phase will add 23,000 square feet of space to the modern and American galleries and add new education spaces and public areas for museum guests.

This phase of the plan will also reopen spaces that haven’t been accessible to the public in more than 50 years, including the museum’s north entrance off of Kelly Drive. Once completed, the entrance will open up a sweeping vaulted walkway. Dining areas and meeting spaces will also be redesigned during The Core Project.

The main aspects of The Core Project — including the reopening of the North entrance — will be completed in 2019. Other aspects of this monumental project will be completed in 2020.

The museum will remain open throughout the duration of the Core Project, but signs of the expansion will be visible in spaces like the north entrance and the food service areas. Note that the galleries will remain fully open and accessible.

Stay tuned for more on the exciting additions to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
