滋賀県立近代美術館

農業をなりわいとして生きる2つの地域の人々と土地の関係は、ただ互恵的な関係ではなく、共に生きていく他ない、よりシビアな共生関係を結んでいます。中世までの泰山寺野にあった赤松の原生林と根笹の茂みは、近代の血のにじむ手作業の開墾によって広大な農地へと姿を変えました。現在は過疎化の波が押し寄せながらも、今も住み続ける方に若い世代が加わり、新たな歴史と風景が作られています。

今回は太山寺と泰山寺、2つのエリアを横断しながら、土地や人、異なった歴史、そして人と人との共生関係＝シンビオシスをテーマに、滋賀にゆかりのある3人の若手作家、石黒健一、井上唯、藤永覚耶の新作による展覧会を行います。

Taisanji area of Adogawacho Takashima consists of two areas, Taisanji (太山寺)*1 and Taisanji (泰山寺)*2. Taisanji (太山寺), a historic area with the Taisanji temple which existed until the Sengoku period on Mt. Amida, at the northern limit of Hira Mountain.

* 1, 2 Taisanji (太山寺) and Taisanji (泰山寺) : Two different Chinese characters with the same pronunciation.

Taisanji (泰山寺), however, is a relatively new area, cultivated by newcomers after 1949. Since then, two adjacent areas have made the history and the landscape by close relation between land and people’s activities.
The relation between land and people living by agriculture in the two areas is a mutualistic relation with inexorable force rather than a simple mutual relation. The land with primeval forest of red pine and bamboo bush to the medieval period was cultivated by newcomers with manual labor in the modern period. Today the younger generations are coming back to settle down in the area, joining the old inhabitants. Even if its population has been declining, the newcomers are now writing a new story with a new sceneries.
This exhibition present the work of three young artists, associated with Shiga, held under the theme of land and people, two different background and mutualistic relation – Symbiosis in short, by crossing two areas, Taisanji (太山寺) and Taisanji (泰山寺).

【アートスポットプロジェクト】について

滋賀県立近代美術館は、リニューアル整備に向けた長期休館に入っていますが、この休館の期間を利用し、県内様々な地域で美術館の活動を展開する試みを行っています。「アートスポットプロジェクト」はその一環として、滋賀県にゆかりある若手作家を中心に紹介するとともに、開催する地域の方と交流・協働を目指すプロジェクトです。平成30年度の第1回は、株式会社黒壁の共催のもと、黒壁スクエアで開催しました（平成30(2018)年9月22日〜10月21日）。令和元年度の第2回は高島市泰山寺野エリアで開催します。

The Museum of Modern Art Shiga has been closed for a long period of time, due to building renovation. However, various events are organised during this period to develop thei museum’s activities in other areas of Shiga Prefecture. Art Spot Project is one of the activities to promote interaction and cooperation as well as to present young artists associated with Shiga Prefecture. The first event last year was sponsored by KUROKABE Corporation and held at KUROKABE Square in Nagahama.
