私の預かり知らぬ間に私のグループ展への参加が決まってました^ ^今朝、下のフライヤーがメールで送られてきて驚きました。しかも載せてる絵は今、日本にあるので急遽似たような作品作るかも。9月6日から8日までベルリンのギャラリーで開かれるらしいです。8日のパーティーの日にピアノ弾きます♪

My participation in the group exhibition was decided before I knew it 🙂 This morning, below flyer was sent to me, I was surprised. And the picture on the flyer is now in Japan, I might make similar one immediately. It’ll be held at a gallery in Berlin Neukölln from September 6th to 8th. I’ll play the piano at the party on 8th ♪

24日土曜日からexhibitionが始まりました。舞踏パフォーマンス音楽担当の方が紹介ビデオを制作してくれました(下)。私は基本的に土日祝日全て在廊予定です。今回初めて挑戦したインスタレーションが中々好評で嬉しい限りです。どうぞ観に来て下さい^ ^

From 24th, October, our exhibition has already started. A musician who is in charge of music for dance performance created promo video about exhibition (below video). I expect to stay venue on weekend and holiday. Manny people gave me applause about my installation I made it first time, it’s my pleasure. Please come to see:)

来週10日から21日までライプツィヒでグループ展が始まります。急に知らされたのでまだ作品完成してませんが、何とかなるでしょう。10日は準備やパーティーもあるし初めてライプツィヒまで行きます。楽しみです^ ^オンライン配信は無くなったようです。。

From 10th to 21st on June, our group exhibition will be held in Leipzig. An organizer informed us about that suddenly, my work doesn’t complete yet, but bet I’ll be able to do. First time in my life I’m going to Leipzig for preparation and opening party on 10th. Looking forward to that:) Btw online show was canceled.

昨日突然私の個展が22日から30日の約1週間、ベルリンのクロイツベルク地区にあるギャラリーにて開催される事が決まりました。。何という嬉しい驚き！ギャラリーのオーナーさんはアーティスト兼ヨガマスターでもあり私が彼女のヨガに時々通ってた縁で、彼女が私のプレゼンを聞きに来た時に私の絵を気に入ってくれたみたいです。人数制限やマスク着用の義務などの規制はありますが私にとってはとても大きな前進です^ ^

Yesterday it was suddenly decided that my solo exhibition will be held from 22nd to 30th at the gallery where there’s at Kreuzberg in Berlin. What a happy surprise! An owner of the gallery is also artist and yoga master I met her at her yoga class. When she came to my presentation, seems that she got curious my works. Although there’re regulations such as restrictions on the number of people and the obligation to wear masks in holding, it’s a great step for me:)

今朝、グループ展の延期(多分5月)と共に私の滞在延長も決まりました。恐らく短くても3か月。現在ビザ当局に連絡した所です。事態の急変に疲労感を感じてたので私の精神安定剤でもあるピアノを弾きに行きました(ちなみに最近は人との接触を避ける為レンタル自転車を重宝)。その結果、ドイツ滞在が延びたのも私の運命と思って受け入れようと心の整理が出来ました。3か月の間にまた作品を作るのか他の仕事が出来るか分からないけど前向きに捉えます。

This morning, it was decided that group exhibition is postponed until maybe May and my extension of stay at least 3 months probably. I just contacted the Schengen visa authority. I’ve been feeling massive fatigue against rapid change of circumstances, so went to practice the piano which is my tranquilizer( btw using a rental bike to avoid the contact with people). While playing I organized my mind that I should accept this situation as my destiny. I’m not sure I’ll make extra painting or get a job in three months, but I’ll try to think positively.

グループ展のDMが完成しました。私の絵を使ってくれて嬉しい😊ただ、実は展覧会を延期するか否か今責任者の人が迷ってます。延期の場合私は特例の延長ビザを使ってドイツ滞在を延長する事になります。期間は未定です。今は直近の状況でさえ全く読めないので、確実な事は何も言えないです。自宅にテレビとpcが無いので状況把握が遅れがちで事態が急速に悪化した様な印象です。ただただ何やこの事態は…と複雑な気持ちです。延長決まったら中古PC買うかも。

Invitation card for our group exhibition was completed. My work is used for front page, I’m happy:) However, now our organizer is thinking whether exhibition is postponed or not. In case of postpone, I’ll extend the stay in Germany using a special extension visa. The period is undecided. I can’t say anything clearly because it’s hard to predict something even the near future. Having a impression that situation is getting worse rapidly because I tend to be late in understanding the circumstances due to no tv&pc there. I just only have a complicated feeling, what’s a tricky status! 🙁 If it’s decided to extend, I might buy a secondhand pc.

Unknown Asia 終了しました。色々な方と知り合えて有意義な三日間になりました。その一方で、絵の配置の仕方、絵の統一感などが人目を惹く大事な要素だという事を知れて勉強になりました。それから、私の日本画を見たお客さんの方から『強さの中に優しさを感じる』と言ってもらえて感動しました。ずっと立っぱなしでめちゃ疲れたのでゆっくり休みます(-_-)zzz

Unknown Asia is over. They were meaningful days to be able to meet a lot of people. On the other side, I learned what’s the most impressive arrangement for works and unifying the theme of works would be important element to attract attention. I was moved by a comment from an observer who said I felt the gentleness and the strength from your Japanese style painting. I’ll take a rest for a while because of exhaustion 😴

Artist in Residence への参加が決まりました。場所はベルリンで1月から3月までの3ヶ月間。期間の最後にはグループ展にて絵が展示されます。色んな国を検討したけど中々難しくて、漸く受け入れてくれる所が決まって嬉しいです^ ^ちゃんと制作出来るかドキドキですが楽しんで来ようと思います！まずは英語の勉強からです^_^

It was decided that I’ll join the “Artist in Residence” at Berlin from January to March. In the end of the term, a group exhibition will be held there. I sought some worldwide residency programs which could accept me , but it was difficult due to over the application deadline or full. So I was very happy to find there at last 🙂 I wanna enjoy this experience! I have to learn English more, anyway:p
