美術展

元学芸員で今は大学の教員している附属同期の児島薫さんが一気に読んだとFBにあげていたので思わず読んだ。たいそうためになった。著者が言うまでもなく日本の展覧会は何故マスコミが主催するのかがよくわかったし、予想通り、○○美術館展より個展の方が企画制作も大変だし、良いものが集まると言うことも納得した。その上で著者は日本の美術館ベスト１に国立近代美術館を上げていたのが嬉しい。引っ越して東西線で一番行きやすくなった美術館である。

Kaoru Kojima, a former curator who now teaches at the university, said on FB that she read it all at once. I couldn’t help but read it. It was very informative. As the author said, I now understand why Japanese exhibitions are hosted by the mass media. As I expected, it’s an excellent book. I am convinced that a solo exhibition is more challenging to plan and produce than a show of ◯◯museum which is well known. I was glad to see that the author also listed the National Museum of Modern Art as one of the best museums in Japan. This is the museum that has become the easiest to visit on the East-West line since I moved here.
