「ANDO GALLERY」と「しまぶっく」

 
 
 午前中に新富町での用事を済ませ、午後になってすぐ、清澄白河のANDO GALLERLY(アンドー・ギャラリー)へ行った。このANDO GALLERLYへ寄ったのは初めてだったが、正直いって、「ショナ・ トレスコット展」はかなり良かった。

 どこか懐かしいような気にさせる、外国を描いた風景画。実は、ギャラリーを訪れる前、このページでちらっと見ていたのだが、風景写真だと思い込んでいた。われながら、おっちょこちょいだなぁ(風景写真に見えませんか?)。

「人が馬にまたがっていたり、絵柄が昔を想像させますね」といったことをギャラリーのMさんに言うと、「ショナ・ トレスコットは1982年生まれのオーストラリア出身の女性アーティストで、当初は、オーストラリアの入植時代のことを調べていたようですが、そのうち、そういったことと関係なく、想像でこれらの作品を描くようになったそうです」といった答え。

 外国の景色のようなのに、見ていると知っているような気もして、心が落ち着く油彩画。描かれている人の顔などがはっきり見えない分、こちらの想像力もふくらむのかもしれない。

 Mさんには、2階のスタッフルームにある中沢研さんの抽象画も見せていただいた。さらに、アンドー・ギャラリーは、R不動産で見つけた倉庫を改装したということで、改装前と改装後のビフォー・ アフター写真が出ているサイトも教えてもらった(それがここ)。

 僕には、頭の中のもやもやをスッキリさせてくれそうにも思えた、ショナ・トレスコットの風景画。うちからは自転車で10分もかからないし(いや、そうでなくても)、また伺いたいと思う。

 展示スペースの真ん中にある柱のあたりに、センスのいいフラットなソファなんかがあって、そこに座ってひとつひとつゆっくり眺めることができれば心地いいだろうなぁ、なんて考えてしまう。Mさんによれば、12月18日(土)までに会期が延長されたそうなので、みなさんもぜひ。
  
 

 
 
 その後、そこから自転車で3分ほどの「しまぶっく」へ。ここも最寄り駅は同じく清澄白河。ここは、まだできて2カ月くらいの古書店。店主の方にお話をきくと、ABCの六本木店に長く勤めていたそうで、道理でなのか、その方の趣味なのか、並んでいる本がいい感じ。フンデルトワッサーの洋書あり(洋書は古本ではないとのこと)、詩集あり、小沢昭一さんの本あり、時代小説あり、思想書あり、もちろん現代小説や古典もある。
 本というのは、今の時代、新刊書以外にはなかなか出会えない感じがするし、大きな書店もアマゾンもそれぞれに魅力的だが、品揃えが多ければ多いで、出会いそびれるというか、目に入ってこなくなってしまう。その意味で、誰かがセレクトしてくれた書店というのはいい。そのセレクトでなければ、おそらく出会うことのできない本というのもあるものだし
。センスのいい、いや、自分とセンスの合うといえばいいか、そんな書店や古書店を僕は待ち望んでいたのかもしれない、と「しまぶっく」を出てから思った。
 京都や、東京の中央線沿線にはあるかもしれないけど、目利きによってセレクトされた本屋があちこちにできるといい。売り場面積、冊数、(古書の場合)価格などでは大手にかなわないかもしれないけれど、大きいところの弱みは、「しまぶっく」のような目利きがそれほどいないことだろう。いや、大手にも目利きはいるかもしれないが、たとえば、各店にひとり、各売り場にひとりはいないかもしれない。

 忌野清志郎さんの『エリーゼのために』(前に持っていたはず)、中島みゆき詩集、『小沢昭一的こころ』をはじめ、懐かしい本、忘れかけていた本、おもしろい本がたくさんありそうだった。

 僕は筒井康隆さんの『残像に口紅を』を購入。これは、五十音が少しずつ世界から消えて行くさまを描いたもので、実際に、文中でも「あ」や「ぱ」や「せ」や「ぬ」が消えていく(つまり、それらの音が含まれている言葉を使わない)というアクロバティックな書き方に筒井さんが挑んでいる。実験的でありながら、エンターテインメントでもあり、20年ほど前に興奮しつつ読んだ記憶が甦り、また入手してみた。うれしい再会だ。同行の妻は『論理哲学論考』(ウィトゲンシュタイン、岩波文庫)、『檸檬』(梶井基次郎、新潮文庫)を手に入れた。

 また訪れたいと思える2つのスペースに、たて続けて出会えた、幸運な午後だった。

  1. I’m not sure why but this site is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

  2. I have learned quite a few important things as a result of your post. I will also like to say that there is a situation where you will get a loan and never need a cosigner such as a Federal government Student Aid Loan. In case you are getting financing through a classic financier then you need to be made ready to have a co-signer ready to enable you to. The lenders will base any decision on the few issues but the greatest will be your credit standing. There are some creditors that will likewise look at your work history and choose based on that but in many instances it will be based on on your report.

  12. Thanks for your publiction. Another item is that to be a photographer involves not only problem in catching award-winning photographs and also hardships in establishing the best camera suited to your requirements and most especially situations in maintaining the quality of your camera. This really is very true and evident for those photography enthusiasts that are in capturing the particular nature’s eye-catching scenes — the mountains, the actual forests, the actual wild or seas. Going to these adventurous places unquestionably requires a dslr camera that can live up to the wild’s hard natural environment.

  16. Thanks for the thoughts you have provided here. In addition, I believe there are numerous factors that will keep your auto insurance premium down. One is, to bear in mind buying cars that are inside the good report on car insurance businesses. Cars which are expensive are definitely more at risk of being lost. Aside from that insurance policies are also based on the value of your car, so the costlier it is, then the higher your premium you make payment for.

  17. One important thing is that when you find yourself searching for a education loan you may find that you’ll want a cosigner. There are many cases where this is true because you will find that you do not possess a past credit rating so the loan provider will require that you have someone cosign the money for you. Interesting post.

Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or anything, website theme . a tones way for your client to communicate. Excellent task..

  26. I’ve been surfing online greater than 3 hours lately, but I never found any fascinating article like yours. It is lovely worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the internet can be a lot more useful than ever before.

  27. Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Appreciate it

  28. Thanks for the suggestions shared on your blog. Something else I would like to state is that fat reduction is not exactly about going on a dietary fad and trying to get rid of as much weight that you can in a couple of weeks. The most effective way to shed pounds is by having it bit by bit and right after some basic tips which can enable you to make the most out of your attempt to shed weight. You may be aware and already be following many of these tips, nonetheless reinforcing knowledge never hurts.

  29. fantastic post, very informative. I wonder why the other experts of this sector do not notice this. You must continue your writing. I am confident, you have a great readers’ base already!

  30. I have realized that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate homeowners, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every single real estate contract, a fee is paid. Ultimately, FSBO sellers tend not to “save” the payment. Rather, they try to win the commission by doing a good agent’s work. In this, they invest their money as well as time to conduct, as best they can, the duties of an representative. Those obligations include uncovering the home by marketing, showing the home to buyers, making a sense of buyer urgency in order to induce an offer, booking home inspections, taking on qualification checks with the bank, supervising repairs, and facilitating the closing.

  31. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  32. I have taken notice that in digital cameras, extraordinary devices help to {focus|concentrate|maintain focus|target|a**** automatically. Those kind of sensors of some surveillance cameras change in contrast, while others make use of a beam with infra-red (IR) light, specially in low lumination. Higher specification cameras oftentimes use a blend of both methods and will often have Face Priority AF where the dslr camera can ‘See’ some sort of face while keeping your focus only upon that. Many thanks for sharing your ideas on this site.

  33. I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It?s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

  34. magnificent points altogether, you simply gained a new reader. What would you suggest in regards to your post that you made a few days ago? Any positive?

  35. Do you have a spam issue on this blog; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; many of us have developed some nice practices and we are looking to trade strategies with other folks, be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.

  36. Interesting post here. One thing I’d like to say is that most professional fields consider the Bachelor’s Degree just as the entry level standard for an online course. Although Associate Degrees are a great way to start, completing a person’s Bachelors opens many good opportunities to various employment goodies, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Course Programs available from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions offer Online variants of their qualifications but often for a extensively higher charge than the corporations that specialize in online college diploma programs.

  37. An attention-grabbing discussion is value comment. I think that you must write more on this subject, it might not be a taboo topic but typically people are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

  38. Wow! This could be one particular of the most helpful blogs We’ve ever arrive across on this subject. Actually Excellent. I am also a specialist in this topic therefore I can understand your hard work.

  39. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  40. One thing I’d really like to say is the fact before acquiring more pc memory, look at the machine directly into which it is installed. When the machine will be running Windows XP, for instance, the actual memory limit is 3.25GB. Setting up in excess of this would purely constitute a new waste. Be sure that one’s motherboard can handle this upgrade quantity, as well. Great blog post.

  41. excellent points altogether, you just gained a brand new reader. What would you recommend in regards to your post that you made a few days ago? Any positive?

  42. Excellent post. I was checking constantly this blog and I’m impressed! Extremely helpful info particularly the last part 🙂 I care for such information a lot. I was looking for this particular info for a very long time. Thank you and best of luck.
