Swiss Design - スイスデザイン展
上野博物館のみちのく仏像展の後、オペラシティに回ってスイスデザイン展を見た。BALLY、TIMEX、VITRONIXなど、有名ブランドの商品と歴史を陳列したもので、総じて無菌的なスッキリデザインがスイスらしいと再確認できることは確かだ。スイスエアーやスイス鉄道は基本的にポスターの陳列。正直なところ、規模も大きくないし、商業展示の集まりみたいで、金を取って見せる美術展だろうかとの疑問がわく。最後にル・コルビュジエ関連の展示があるのが美術展としての救いなのか。写真撮影は禁止で、入口エリアの2作品のみOK、ルツェルン応用化学大学による型紙インスタレーションは光とモノトーンの美しい空間だった。
I went to Tokyo Opera City to see the Swissdesign Exhibition. It displayed the products and their history of leading Swiss brands such as Bally, Timex and Vitronix where you could confirm the clean-room-like modern design style that characterized "Swiss". Swissair and Swiss Rail basically showed their old posters. I somewhat doubted if this was appropriate as a paid exhibition considering its size and contents because it was more like a commercial display in a package, but the collection related to Le Corbusier in the end might allow it calling an art exhibition. No photos allowed except two displays in the entrance area, one of which was "Katagami Installation" by the Lucerne University of Application Science and Art, a beautiful space with light and mono tone.
