“Bright Aquarium” is a two-person exhibition by Kosuke Nagata and Yusuke Oiwa. Both artists take approaches that exploit the tendency of humans to find some relationship between juxtaposed objects. Nagata mainly uses the characteristics of video and photography to make works in which virtual images and physical things short-circuit; Oiwa, meanwhile, thinks through language and acting to make works in which meanings appear and are then corrected. They share a concern in that their works are designed to gain their own dynamism through being exhibited and exposed to people's eyes and consciousness. As the 2 works are themselves “juxtaposed,” relationships will be found in this movement with further dimensionality.

「明るい水槽」は永田康祐・大岩雄典による二人展です。両作家は、人間が、併置された対象どうしに何らかの関係を見出してしまうという運動を逆手にとったアプローチをとっています。永田は、主に映像や写真の特性を活かして、仮想的なイメージと物理的なモノが短絡するような作品を、いっぽう大岩は、言語や演技への思考をとおして、意味が現れては訂正されていくような作品を制作しています。それらは、展示され、人の目や意識にむけて晒されることで、固有のダイナミズムをもつように設計される点で共通の問題意識をもっています。二つの作品がまた〈併置〉されることで、その運動もさらに立体的に関係が見出されていくでしょう。
