日本の伝統文化である「節分」に着想を得た本展では、アートで邪気を払い、新たな一歩を踏み出す意味を込めて、鬼を追い払う"OBAKE"を発表。レセプションでは、北海道ニセコの狩太神社より玉置宮司にお越しいただき、作品への魂入れのため、特別祈祷を行いました。

人が OBAKE(鬼)の格好をして、鬼(邪気・病気)を追い祓うのではなく、アートが OBAKE(御化け) となり、鬼を祓い、福を招くという新しい価値をご覧いただきました。

The current exhibition "OBAKE"  was inspired by the traditional japanese culture of "Setsubun" (the day before the beginning of spring in Japan) , using art to get rid of  "Jaki"(negative vibes), pointing out the meaning of taking a fresh step.
The day of the Reception, we had the pleasure to have Tamaki Guji, from Kaributo shrine (Niseko, Japan) who did a special ritual to give  soul ("tamashire") to the artwork.

People dressed up as OBAKE (oni), but instead of exorcising the Oni (bad vibes, illness), Art would become OBAKE, get rid of the Oni, and invite good fortune.
We are thankful we were able to witness a  completely new way of "fuku o maneku" (inviting good fortune).

本次展出活動發表了以日本的傳統文化"節分"為構思、用藝術驅邪,同時也包含了踏出新一步之意的藝術作品「驅邪'OBAKE'」。

來自北海道新雪谷(又名二世古)狩太神社的宮司玉置 彰彦為作品注入靈魂,進行了特別的祈禱儀式。

此次不是由人來裝扮成OBAKE(鬼)的樣子去驅邪,而是由藝術變成OBAKE(鬼怪)來驅邪招福,讓人領略到了藝術的新價值。
