Ando Museum Naoshima

Lines, edges, concrete, light, sharp, mathematics, architecture, nature, glass.

The Ando Museum looked like a regular, traditional residence from the outside, blending in perfectly into the town's neighborhood. The inside of the building, however, combined traditional interior design with Ando's signature use of concrete, creating a slick, sharp and intriguing atmosphere.

Signs and photographs along the walls explained Ando's works and projects within Naoshima, including the Benesse House Museum, Benesse House Oval, the Lee Ufan Museum and Minamidera.

Minamidera Naoshima (No images taken)

Minamidera is the 2nd stage of the Art House Project, designed by Ando, in the old village called "Honmura", in the eastern part of Naoshima. The name "Minamidera" was taken from the temple tat once stood on this place and disappeared more than 100 years ago. The idea for this "new" Minamidera was to use the site as a source of inspiration and create a new environmentally-suitable structure, where the old one used to stand, in order to revive its history and memory. The new structure is made entirely of wood. The interior is completely shielded from the natural daylight for the work "Backside of the Moon", which artist James Turrell expressed through soft, delicate lighting in the dark interior space.

"What you always have to think about when designing 'human scale' projects is, how you can interfere as little as possible with the exisiting environment, to create a space that expands as much as possible."

Tuesday Feb. 20 2024

Got up around 9:30 am and took a shower. The bathroom at my host's apartment is so cute, there are big plants in there and a little pink lamp above the mirror and Simpsons figurines on the shelves and 2 very cool posters. My only gripe is that the shower head doesn't attach to the wall so I have to wash my hair upside down which is a good thing if you are worried about your hairline and your big forehead because my grandma told me that always wearing your hair back and washing your hair normally can make your hair line recede and also washing it upside down can give your hair more volume. But it also makes my back hurt so idk.

Anyway and then I had my leftover wontons for breakfast and I made coffee which I'm not very good at but I'm starting to drink it more. And then we reshot my host's video project and experimented with the lighting and it turned out great! She had to go buy a dvd player and convert the movie to a dvd format so I went to the Hamburger Bahnhof which was actually renovated into an art gallery.

I got to the gallery and immediately knew I wasn't going to have a good time because the coat check lady was mean and then I started to get frustrated by the layout of the gallery and the map is NOT clear at all about entrances and such so I was not a happy camper.

The first exhibit was a retrospective for Lee Ufan. He is a minimalist artist who also led the Mono-ha art movement and he mostly worked with big stones, sheets of metal, glass as well as painting on canvas. I especially liked his repetitions of patterns and also the fluorescent geometric spray paintings at the start of the exhibit and the gradient paintings at the end. What I liked best about his sculptures was how big they were, especially the pane of glass shattered by a rock.

The next exhibit was art that was inspired by Berlin. It was multi-media, with sculptures and paintings and photographs and readymades and videos, so it's a bit hard to describe the whole exhibit without describing every piece. I will say I was getting more and more frustrated by the fact that the info signs were difficult to locate for some artworks because of where they were placed and also because they blended in with the partitions. Maybe I will leave a Yelp review. But some of my favorite pieces were: Car frames by Selma Selman, a text-video piece of a woman being interrogated by police about the murder of her husband with techno music in the background (I can't remember the artist's name), Mountain of cocaine, and this metal structure (with a palm leaf hanging off of it) on top of a sheet of gold paper with a green vase and behind it is a half covered Greek pottery painting.

Finally I went to Nadia Kaabi-Linke's Seeing Without Light exhibition. There was supposed to be an audio element to it but the museum headphones didn't work on one side (the penultimate straw that would break the camel's back so to speak... I was getting close to having to leave early atp) so I skipped that part and went in. The first section has tactile paintings that guests are allowed to touch which was cool until I thought about the germs :( but the rest of the exhibition was interesting. A lot of the exhibition was relating to Kaabi-Linke's personal identity as Ukranian and Tunisian, as well as to the fact that Hamburger Bahnhof was used during WW2 to transport people to concentration camps. I liked the series of ink prints of Kaabi-Linke's hair that was about 20 pages long, as well as the scales that held sand on one side and salt on the other. Initially they were each balanced but the salt absorbs moisture so it became heavier over time, and also the video project Bud'mo, which was filmed in Ukraine, of these trees being filmed from the ground up and they sway in the wind and you can walk on top the of the projected video through a tunnel. Very cool.

Anyway my feet started to hurt so I decided to leave. I was going to go to the Wall Museum but the google reviews didn't seem promising so I decided to look for some black pants since I don't have any after the garage sale I had in August. Plus it's Berlin so surely they will have interesting clothes? (Dear Reader, they do have cool clothes, just not if you are kind of fat and above average height. I did go fuck myself thanks for asking. le sigh)

The first store I went to was VEB Orange. It's more of an antique store and not very much clothing but a lot of the stuff was from the DDR so I stuck around and I was not disappointed. Lots of little knick knacks and records, tapes, strips of film, pins, jewelry, decor, telephones, fiber arts supplies and sewing patterns, as well as a sweet little kitty napping on a pile of blankets. But my favorite part was the kitchen room. The cupbords and counters were solid orange and all of the VERY vintage kitchen tools were organized by color, and of course most of the stuff was orange. In the end I bought a little pack of buttons for 6 euro. I also went to another thrift store and although it was all clothing it was more like name-brand stuff like Levi's and Adidas and i can get that shit in the US so I went home. On the way home I bought some beers and chocolate because Ritter Sport is soooo cheap here. Fuck Mak's mini mart fr

I answered some emails and was able to download a game I used to play in middle school that got deleted off the Scholastic website when they did their accursed update and then I called my mother about my flight home and then I had my Tom Kha Gai soup with buttered bread and my beers and then I went to bed!

naoshima pt 4

after inspecting the above ground portion you are guided to enter a tunnel and view the subterranean portion of the stairs. the cave was tiny and wet, definitely a claustrophobic’s nightmare. next home was gokaisho, where we viewed hayami gyoshu’s lovely porcelain camellias. the attendant at this home was a lovely old man who challenged us to figure out which of two “bamboo” poles where not bamboo. after guessing he revealed i was right and that the pole i was looking at was normal wood, i was a little disappointed by this and i was expecting it to be porcelain or something haha. last house before they closed for a lunch break was ishibashi, home to works by hiroshi senju. the attendant at the home was also a lively old man who really enjoyed telling us about the work. he explained how the silver pigment used in the painting had oxidised over the years and created a brownish colour within the work which wasn’t originally present. he loved to poetically describe the concept of the flowing time and honestly i loved listening. after this we stopped for a snack break before continuing our tour with a visit to the ando museum. tadao ando’s works are everywhere throughout the island with him designing most of the gallery’s on naoshima, so i was already familiar with his brutalist style. i’m a huge fan of concrete so ando’s work really strikes a cord with me. finally it was time for our last art house on the tour, haisha. the house by shinro ohtake was the most out there of all the houses. i really enjoyed it, the outside walls where decorated with teeth shaped stones and tiles with teeth and dental diagrams painted on. i love weird almost gross art so i especially loved the teeth motif. finally finished with the art houses i rode my bike back to the naoshima port and walked along the shore. i collected a bunch of really beautiful shells which i’m hoping are still intact in my suitcase, i even found some fish bones haha. after a while it was time to return my bike, which i found hard as i’d grown attached, and wait at the pier for the boat back to uno. i was terrified that we were going to be going back on that tiny death trap boat but thank god we ended up getting the proper huge ferry. it was so spacious and lovely onboard compared to the last one. i ended up going up to the roof and watching as we got further and further away from naoshima. honestly it made me sad and i really enjoyed my time there. the island was so contained it was so easy to navigate, i really felt at home in my few days there. id really like to go back as i never had the chance to go to the chichu museum or the lee ufan museum. i’ll spare you the details of the rest of our trip back to kyoto as honestly there isn’t much to report. all up i really really loved naoshima and it seems like the group all agrees. i feel like everyone felt very relaxed and free on the island, the late night 7/11 runs and the drinking, it was all very freeing. makes me really wish i lived in an area that was bike rideable, as i genuinely enjoy riding bikes.

Busan

The museum's permanent collection includes more than 4,000 artworks, with a focus on contemporary Korean art from the 20th and 21st centuries. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, photographs, and other multimedia artworks by prominent Korean artists such as Lee Ufan, Park Seo-bo, and Kim Hong-do.

In addition to its permanent collection, the Busan Museum of Art also hosts a variety of temporary exhibitions throughout the year, featuring works by both Korean and international artists. This exhibit was the zombie exhibit, which was only for a temporary amount of time.

Naoshima-Japón Imperio del Sol Naciente.

Naoshima es una pequeña isla del Mar Interior de Seto que forma parte de la Prefectura de Kanagawa. Aunque es una excursión muy agradable desde Tokio que te permitirá conocer un poco mejor el rural japonés, la isla es famosa sobre todo por sus numerosos museos de arte moderno, su arquitectura y sus esculturas, muchas de ellas diseñadas por el conocido arquitecto Ando Tadao. Entre los lugares de interés de la isla figuran el Chichu Art Museum, el Lee Ufan Museum y la Benesse House.

Como te podrás imaginar, ¡llegar a Naoshima es un auténtico quebradero de cabeza! Primero tendrás que ir hasta el puerto de Uno en la Prefectura de Okayama o al puerto de Takamatsu en la Prefectura de Kagawa, desde donde podrás coger un ferry hasta la isla. Y si te parece difícil encontrar los puertos en primer lugar, ¡no te quiero contar la isla! Así que mentalízate a que va a ser un viaje largo y a que vas a tener que pasar la noche en la zona.

“Today’s weather is letter.”❄️💌 All the untold letters will fall as snow flakes and be delivered to your person. I’ve been to Leeum Museum in Seoul. I loved the a-historical exhibited way that Korean traditional art and contemporary art were exhibited in the same room. The technology used in the museum was futuristic and inspiring. Staffs of the museum were wearing stylish pale cream colored uniform and looked like k-pop idols matching with the atmosphere of the museum. Lee Ufan’s painting was my favorite. #illustration #drawing #procreate #letter #snow #winter #leeufan #leeummuseum #leeumsamsungmuseumofart #leeummuseumofart #leeum #museum #exhibition https://www.instagram.com/p/CnYP3MnjCgb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Mono-ha movement was not about identity. It had to do with what to make and what not to make, and the clash of the two.
