What called me to come The inner space of memory called upon by the interaction of mind and memory is a mysterious things. For an instant I was reminded of the circumstances which surrounded my first time working here in Utsukushi-ga-hara, 17 years ago, and my excitement at arranging a large ten meter high work in this changing highland climate. This memory came back vividly as I have returned here for my work again. The work which I made at that time – “Existence” showed how, as the title suggests, a column in a box has an open space surrounding it and how the column extends its presence into this void. This earlier work had an unexpected influence on my later work. I had looked for a quality – “a simplicity that is likely to truly continue”, and this is something which I still pursue today. While working recently I have been thinking everyday about the connection between the value of retrospection, into the recent and distant past, and the sense of position or placement of my work. In addition to looking at this, I have been thinking how we, living in these modern days, may be free only when we can passionately watch as indifferently as possible
. The work I present at this TUES Exhibition are “Recitation” and “Prayer” made from forged mass of iron. In spite of their opacity and weight, these works lift the view’s mind to a universal dimension. Light, received by the land here at 2000 meters above sea level, and even heat stored inside are regarded as contents of the works.

Takashi Suzuki's Sculpture: Space as a Relation

1984

Akio Obigane(Critic of fine art) For example, children begin to enthusiastically make something with toys such as "Lego", blocks, etc. When some interesting forms are being made, someone calls the children and they go away. The remaining, unfished toys catch the heart of the adults who look at them and rouse their imaginations. Looking at Takashi Suzuki's work, such scenes pass through my mind. But I have no mind to compare his work to creatures of pure sensitivity like children. Unfinished and multi-signficant features of his work and neutral features being free from various dogmas in the contemporary arts permit me such imagination. Such features cannot be gotten without naitive sensitivity, clear intelligence and strict calculation. Comparing to the works of artists in the 1970's which like discarded objects and which are strictly and conceptionally made, at first sight Suzuki's work may give us the impression as if it were formatively constructed and went one step back to the past. But if we look at it carefully, we can understand that his work is constructed not to be inclosed as a finished formative work, but it questions the relation between onlookers and work and marks an intimate space in answer. Therefore his work becomes neither circumstantial installation nor an independent sculputure, but is a neutral one. Suzuki's work gives us the impression of a conceptional settlement and at the same time of physical impromptu, But neither of them significantly define his work. We can also see such neutral and multi-significant features of his work in his surface treatment. Concerning linear parts such as columns and square poles, he makes the surface of the material rusty and chocolate color to give a soft impression, keeping the simple feeling of the metal and neutralizing the heavy feeling of the metal. But on the other hand on one side of the sculpture he leaves the metal surface in its natural state. Thus he combines the two skilfully. This differs from past sculpture which emphasized the material and also from the sculpture which was completely colored and neglected the material itself. Such neutral features do not compromise the former trend but, I think, result from his own decision. While sculpture in the 1970's directly questioned the relation between substances and mankind in various forms and skeletonized only the attitude of questioning and the emphasis of the substances, Suzuki extends space as a related concept which sculpture in the 1970's presented as an artistic fake.

鈎朚隆の䜜品―接觊ず静止の匷床

THE STRENGTH OF CONTACT AND STILLNESS SCULPTUAL WORKS OF TAKASHI SUZUKI BY MOTOKI MASAKI (CURATOR, MEGURO MUSEUM OF ART)

1991

(1) Suzuki introduces seven new works in the narrow space of Gallery Manin. The relation to space is embraced in this presentation where the works are in minimal forms such as cylinders composed as if there were no rules or order in their arrangement. Due to the restriction of space, the size of the works as well as the numbers of the units forming the works are smaller than usual; therefore, they appear simpler than ever. On the other hand, the concept of the works becomes much clearer in this exhibition. Let's take a look at some of these works. One of them is in a cylindrical form posted on the ground with its opening touched by another pipe-like cylinder. Another one is a narrow cylinder standing on the ground with another slender cylinder lying beside. There is also a work consisting of a cylinder laid on an iron plate with another pipe-like cylinder standing next to it. The combination of cylinders and plates is not for creating one complete form. We can rather see a motionless confusion in the arrangement of the forms which are slightly touching to each other. As can be seen in the above-mentioned works, the slight touch is very delicate. The forms could easily be collapsed onto the ground with even a little change in their arrangement. There are not many forms having the contact of planes in Suzuki's work. For example, there is a work of cylinders with three contacting points in their diameters, a work of two cylinders in which arcs are joined by points, and a work comprised of a cyinder bisected across its diameter by contact with an iron place. If two different forms are joined by planes, they create a stable feeling as their unity makes a new form. Suzuki's works, however, seem to politely refuse the appearance of a new form and try to achieve a continual from in a non-sculptural sense by emphasizing the contact of two different parts. Also, we must pay attention to a certain kind of energy generated at the contact. Tension becomes more concentrated in a point-contact of the curved surfaces rather than in a place-contact, as the point of touching is smaller. It relates to the level of a transient energy produced by the relation of forms. There is not much difficulty in seeing such a detailed calculation (deliberateness) and anti-calculation (coincidence) in the relatedness which seems to be composed without any order. The strength of the transient energy can be translated as a power stretching towards opposite directions-'dynamic' and


'static'. This issue has been described as 'Construction, Destruction, Reconstruction and Redestruction' by Nobuyuki Hiromoto in the book titled As it is here, the sculpture of Takashi Suzuki. However, considering that Suzuki's works show the concept of future and present in this exhibition, I would like to mention his works as the embodiment of both 'relation with space' and 'relation with time'. There is no doubt that Suzuki tries to achieve a profoundness that conveys the process of time. Even though Suzuki's works are in massive forms, it has been pointed out that they have a volumeless visual quality. Such forms as cylinders are hollowed out and arranged with a certain transient feeling although they manage to maintain stability, He incorporates a contrary element such as emptiness into the complete form of sculpture which can be translated as his avoidance to the centralization of sculpture. It appears from what we can see in his works that there is a critical attitude towards the history of sculpture which tends to suspend past sculpture. If this is true, it may be possible to interpret his works in comparison with the context of sculptural history. (2) It was after the movement of Constructivism represented by the Naum Gabo and Antoine Pevsner brothers that sculpture which had been regarded as "the art of mass" began to be recognized as art embracing the volume of mass and space as well as the meaning of time and space. At this stage, the sculpture began to produce a harmonious order with a logical accuracy in composition by avoiding coincidences. When we force ourselves to compare Suzuki's works with those of the Constructivists, we find that his works contain a certain peaceful human breathing and inward rhythm, while the works of Gabo and pavsner reserve a vigorous human rhythm and dynamic movement. In contrast with an inorganic and mechanical expression of Constructivism, more organic and human-touch expression can be observed in Suzuki's work. In other works, Suzuki seems to seek an answer to the thesis of mass and space and of space and time which was once


sought by the Constructivists. In order to interpret Suzuki's works, we also need to be aware of the influence of primary and Minimal sculpture which successively relates to Constructivism. For example, Suzuki's works are in the colors of the corroded material itself. Although the colors neutralize the reality of sculpture, this treatment is not absolutely intended to deny the reality. As for the materials which Suzuki uses, they are positioned somewhere between Constructivism, which emphasize the substance of a material, and primary Sculpture which denies it. Although the primary forms of minimal Sculpture tend to be used repetitively, Suzuki composes his works by enclosing space into their primary forms without repeating them. His sculpture becomes alive depending on how the primary forms such as cylinders and plates are assembled(having a 'relation')and how they are placed(with an 'arrangement'). While Minimal Art refuses to exposes feelings, It is often said that Suzuki's works arouse some kind of a nostalgic feeling. The work of Minimal Sculpture has a self-containing form, which was referred as "one as a whole" by Judd. It has been said that Suzuki's works are self-containing. It Minimal Sculpture, the forms tend to be simplified and inorganic and, due to the repetitive and systematic arrangement, they lose personality more and more. Considering Suzuki's works which are composed of cylindrical and rectangular forms, it might be interesting to compare them with the works of David Smith who piled and joined parts to produce an entire unity and worked to create an unstable mental element through the formula of their arrangement. Suzuki's works, where pipes are placed at random, bring a nostalgic sense to viewers. While Minimal Sculpture tends to remain impersonal, his works create an atmosphere with amorphous memory. However, the memory itself is not specified and is kept under the surface of non self-expressing images, In that sense, Suzuki's works still reserve impersonality. Toshiaki Minemura wrote about Judd's negative attitude towards 'composition' as follows; "Referring to Judd's every comment, it is clear that he denounces the concepts of 'discrete', 'parts', 'order', 'structure' and 'composition', while he persists in the concepts of 'singleness', 'wholeness', 'specificity' and 'thing itself '" in an article titled study of modern sculpture-No.2 (Gendai Chokoku Quarterly Magazine). This attitude is a result of his anti-Europeanism.


Suzuki's works do not represent the concept of "one as a whole" as emphasized by Judd, but instead, embrace 'structure' and 'composition' whichi were denied by Judd. However, we still see a point of accordance between the works of these two sculptures considering that both their works are 'non-relational' art. Suzuki's works have a quality that reminds us of the relationship of Frank Stella and Judd who had different views in the recognition of structure and composition and seem to provide a like between these two artists. Yet, Suzuki gropes for his own way of creating sculpture in a different horizon, neither from the European nor American tradition. If a stoical sculptural form is an ultimate conclusion by Minimal Artists in reacting to the exaggerated self-expression of Abstract Expressionism, we assume Suzuki produces his works without accepting or agreeing to a rash answer given by the Minimal Artists. Minimal Art has succeeded the phenomenal productions of such an artist as Japer Johns who depicts symbols without expressing any emotion. On the other hand, even though using minimal forms, Suzuki's works show some feelings. Considering these facts, it will be possible for us to perceive that his works are suggesting the potentials of sculpture apartfrom "a hidden origin" of Minimal Art. As we follow the definitions of Abstract Expressionism as 'subjective selfexpression' and Minimal Art as 'objective material expression', we can place Suzuki's works between them as 'semi-subjective' sculpture, because they are composed of objective form with subjective approaches. According to this supposition, his works not only suspend Minimal Sculpture but also eliminate threads of the sculptural history in its transition from Abstract Expressionism to Minimal Art. Suzuki provides numerous criticisms by confronting modern sculpture with his works. There is no readiness in response nor haste in dental but he keeps working with close attention to the sculpture with his works with close attention to the sculptural history. We look forward with great interest to seeing his further exploitation of the art for his own place in history.

束本 透 耇数の力の絶劙な均衡のうえに生起するフヌアマンの構造䜓ず、たいおいは二぀の鉄塊を積み重 ねたり、隣り合わせに䞊べるこずで成立する近幎の鈎朚隆の圫刻。―前者は、芋えかけの危うさの 背埌に意倖なほどの匟力的な靭さを秘めおおり、埌者は、繊现にしお重々しいその存圚の呚囲に、 どこか空挠ずしたはかなさのようなものを挂わせおいる。安定ず䞍安定、静ず動、はかなさず氞続 性の配合が、䞡者でかなりくっきりず異なるものである。 もずもず電気工孊を専攻しおいたずいうフヌアマンが、䜜家ずしおの本栌的な掻動をはじ めたのは、ブランシュノァむク矎術倧孊に圚孊䞭の1980 幎代半ばのこずである。1986 幎には、 R. シュヌマン、D. ヒンツずずもに矎術家集団「自由空間(Feiraum)」を結成し、以埌今日にいたる たで、ドむツ囜内はもずより、オランダ、スむス、ポヌランド、むタリア、そしお日本ず、じ぀に粟力 的にグルヌプ展を組織しおいる。 フヌアマンがか぀お電気工孊を孊んだずいう事実は、ちょっず気になる点である。かれの䜜品 の倚くは、鉄板なその重くお剛性の高い物䜓ず、ばね鋌や空気の入ったチュヌブやボヌルなど匟 力のある物䜓を組み合わせおできおいるが、冒頭でふれた “耇数の力の絶劙の均衡”ずは、具䜓 的には、䞀定の幅の振動やねじれを蚱容する柔構造によっおもたらされるものだからだ。フヌア マン自身は、その際に、“剛”の芁因に西掋的なものを、“柔”の芁因に東掋的なものを芋おずっおい るようだが、ここでは別のこずがらに泚目したい。すなわち、かれの圫刻は、その独特の柔構造に よっお䞀定の倉化や運動を受け入れ、いいかえれば時間の芁因を受け入れるずいう点である。 ずなるず、今回の出品䜜のうち、たずえば2 本の鉄の䞞棒のうえに倪錓状の円筒を茉せ、そのう えに立おかけた1 本の䞞棒の重さず向きの〔そしお床面の埮现な起䌏や傟斜の〕じ぀にきわどい バランスによっお円筒を床から浮䞊させた《TAIKO》であれ、䞉぀巎に噛みあった鉄棒がマッシ ノな円筒を空䞭で支える《力の堎》であれ、われわれは、振動なり回転運動がれロになった特異な 䞀瞬を、静止したフォルムずしお芋おいるわけである。いうたでもなく、振動や回転が䞀定幅を超 えれば、われわれは死んだ物䜓が床に暪たわるのを芋るこずになるであろう。たた、この二人展に 捧げられた䞀点ずもいうべき《TOMODACHI》の堎合、盎埄1955 ミリず1957 ミリの鉄の円筒〔ち なみに、二぀の盎埄はフヌアマンず鈎朚の生幎に合わせられおいる〕は、お互いにもたれあっおい るばかりではない。振動を受け入れ、時間の幅を蚱容するこの䜜品の柔構造は、もたれ合いずずも に、二぀の円筒の自立の䞀瞬にも含んでいるはずなのである。―《力の堎》ずは、よく蚀ったもの である。かれの圫刻は、叀兞物理的な均䞀空間のなかに眮かれた物䜓ずいうよりは、それ自身が、 特定の堎所(Ort) で、特定の物䜓によっお、時間ず空間を緊密に構造化した文字どおり「堎(Feld)」 なのである。 鈎朚隆もたた、接客した鉄塊を空間のなかに積み䞊げる仕事をしおいた䞀時期ののち、単なる 物䜓をいれる容噚ずしお無色透明な物理空間にも、近代の芞術䜜品なるものを容れるこれたた無


色透明な展瀺空間にも飜きたらず、埐々にそこから離脱しおいったようである。1990 幎代初めに、 かれは、鍛造加工された鉄ずの運呜的な出䌚いを぀うじお、物䜓のフォルムから空間の質ぞず意 識を転換しはじめたのである。 玠材はあくたでも玠材にすぎないずはいえ、それにしおもオレンゞ色の半透明のかたたりず化 すたで熱せられお、数癟トンのプレス機によっおたるで果実を抌し぀ぶすように幟床も叩かれた 鉄塊は、䜜為を超えたその歪みや肌合いのうちに、おのずからそれぞれの歎史を語っおいるよう である。鈎朚はおそらく、工堎のかたすみに無造䜜に積み䞊げられた鉄のかたたりの内郚に固有 の時間が堆積するさたを透芖し、そうした時間ず切り離すこずのできない固有の空間を透芖した のである。 それらの鉄塊は、䜕ものをも暗瀺せず、象城せず、連想させないように、たしお間違っおも矎し くなったりしないように泚意ぶかく遞ばれお、組み合わされ, 空間䞭のしかるべき堎所に眮かれ る。いたや䞀個の時空をはらんだ鉄塊の存圚が、呚囲の空間ず粟劙にしっずりず同調し、物理空間 を、あるいは展瀺空間を質的に倉容させるために、かれは堎所の粟床に賭けるのである。かれの愛 奜する建築家の蚀葉を藉りるなら、 「ひっそりずたたずむオブゞェや建物を芋るずき、我々の心も 萜ち぀いお穏やかなものになっおゆく。・・・・・・ちょうど、䜕かが芋えるがそこに意識の焊点を 結ぶこずができないような状態である。ここで、この認識の真空状態で、蚘憶が甊る。時の奥底か ら浮かび䞊がっおきた蚘憶が。」(P. ズントヌ、䟝田晋䞀郎蚳) 無限にしお空虚な空間の広がりず時間の持続のなかで、死せる物質たちを生きた「堎」ぞず倉 成するのがフヌアマンの圫刻であるずすれば、鈎朚隆の鉄塊は、空挠ずした個人史の時空にピン かハヌケンのように打ち蟌たれ、そのかたわらには、䞀滎の蒞留氎のように柄んだ詩的なタむト ルが刻たれる。ひっそりずたたずむかれの圫刻もたた、フヌアマンのそれずは違うかたちで、無色 透明な無限空間の霧を払い、この堎所、この瞬間に、生の気配を吹きこむのである。 〈東京囜立近代矎術通 矎術課長〉


蚘憶の深床堎所の粟床

1999

束本 透 確たる䞖界芳を喪った時代であればこそ、私たちの意識に俄然くっきりず再垰しおくるものが ある。ものの断片ずこずばの断片である。かしくおコラヌゞュや、レディ・メむドや、抂念の芞術 は、勇たしいアノァンギャルドの手法たる䞀面の深局に、いわば廃材の巚倧な挂着地にも等しい 私たちの時代に特有の気怠く、重苊しい気分を隠しおいる。 鉄補の円柱や長方䜓などのパヌツを積み䞊げる仕事をしおいた鈎朚降が、ずある鍛造工堎の かたすみに打ち棄おられ、野ざらしになった鉄材ずの運呜的な出䌚いを機に、熔接、成圢、研磚ず いったふ぀うの意味での䜜るこずを控えるにいたったのは、1990 幎代の初めである。以埌のかれ の䜜品は、既成品、いや、正確には既成品にすらなれなかった廃材に、切る、焌く、叩くずいった最 小限の手を加えお、それら死児たちに生を授ける態のものずなった。 “Less is more”の極限圢ずいえなくもないが、それではかれの転回の意味を芋誀るおそれがある。 前進的であれ、回顧的であれ、制䜜の時制は珟圚であるほかなく、しばしば “癜い立方䜓”に喩えら れる展瀺空間ずは、この珟圚時制の保蚌装眮にはかならない。鈎朚は、廃材の挂着する波打ちぎわ に立ったずきから、圓然ながら、そういった単なる物䜓を入れる容噚ずしおの無色透明な空間か らゆるやかに離脱しお、制䜜ずいうよりは救枈の時空に足を螏み入れおいったのである。 どこかしら魔術的なこの救枈䜜業は、既成品䞭の既成品たるこずばの介添えをえおおこなわれ る。いわく、迂回の蚘憶。奇跡的。ここではないどこか。メランコリア。あるいは、芋守られた時間。 ものずこずばがふたたび䞀぀になるその堎所がどのような堎所であるか、いた詳らかにはしな い。しかしそれが、蚘憶の〔そしお倢の〕逆光のもずに䞍意に開ける、あのくたなく柄みわたった 午后の空き地にも䌌たどこかであるこずだけは確かであろう。珟実は、蚘憶のなかでこそ自明性 の光をおびお再垰しおくるものだからである。


Depth of memory/ Precision of site

1999

Toru Matsumoto In the very time when we have lost a steadfast view of the world, we notice some things abruptly reviving in our mind distinctly. Those are fragments of articles or fragments of words. Thus, collage, ready-made or conceptual art, which partly show a phase of the fierce method of avant-garde, involve in their depth a dull and gloomy atmosphere peculiar to the present day of ours which is like a huge yard for the waste materials drifted ashore. It was in the early1990’s that Takashi Suzuki, who had worked by piling up parts such as iron columns or rectangular pillars, happened to meet iron materials wasted and exposed to weather in nook of wrought iron workshop as fate and stopped welding, forming or grinding, that is, “making” in the common sense. Since then, he has made works with ready-made articles, or to be precise, articles which could not even become a ready-made article, with the least process, such as cutting, heating or beating, which may be likened to bringing dead children back to life. It is possible to say it is an extreme form of “less is more,” but then we are in danger of misunderstanding the meaning of his conversion. Either progressive or retrospective, the tense of producing a work cannot but be the present, and the space for display, which is often likened to “a white cube,” is no other than an assurance for the present tense. Since the very time he stood on the beach where wasted articles drifted ashore, as a matter of course he gradually deserted such a transparent space as a mere container which holds articles, and stepped into the world of salvation rather than making a work. This salvation work, which there is something magical about, is carried out with the help of words which are the most typical of ready-made articles. For example, “Memory of Detour,” “Miraculous,” “Somewhere not Here,” “Melancholia,” “Gazed at presence,” etc. I will not explain now about the place where an article and a word are connected again. It is aure, however, that the place is somewhere similar to a vacant ground under a cloudless sky in the counterlight of a memory (or a dream) in one’s mind. It is because reality revives with a light of axiom just in one’s memory.
