EUKARYOTEでは6月7日(金)から6月30日(日)までの会期にて、久保田智広、畑山太志、三瓶玲奈によるグループ展『Practice_01: 線を引く』を開催いたします。
本展は3名の作家が約1年間におよぶ話し合いを続け、そこで生まれたトピックスを出発点に制作の可能性を広げるため、実践(practice)を重視し、自主的に企図されました。今回はその最初の成果として「線を引く」ことに焦点をあて、新たな作品展開を図ります。
・線を引く
国境や性別、風景、動植物、コップや椅子に至るまで、人がものや事柄を捉えようとするときに、境界は生まれ、私たちはその境界線を利用して世界を認識することができる。しかし、あらゆる位相で現在引かれている補助線は、暫定的であり、認識の違いや多くの取りこぼしが存在していることもまた確かである。
本展は既に引かれた複数の位相にある境界線を、それぞれの作家の視点から再度考察し、新たな描線を生み出す試みである。
価値観の生成過程に関心のある久保田智広はその揺れ動く基準線の引き直しに着目し、自然や生命、心など、可視の事物に対して不可視の領域が根本的に存在していると考える畑山太志は、物質と非物質の境界線を問い直す。また、三瓶玲奈は風景や静物をきっかけとして、人間の知覚が事物に与える輪郭線だけでなく、知覚にとって実在する線を見出だそうと試みる。線を引くというアクションは一つの領域を生み出し、またそれが新たな領域への補助線となっていく。
私たちはいま、どういった線を引くことができるのだろうか。

Eukaryote is pleased to present Practice_01: Drawing Lines, a group exhibition of artworks by Tomohiro Kubota, Taishi Hatayama and Reina Mikame from June 7 to June 30, 2019.
This exhibition was self-organized by the three participating artists as a continuation of a series of conversations they had spanning nearly an entire year, taking the topics covered in them in order to expand the possibilities of their work, with an importance placed on the practice of making. As the first of such presentations, the exhibition focuses on the act of “drawing lines”, aiming for new developments in each artist’s work.

- Drawing Lines
From national borders to genders, landscapes, animals and plants, to cups and chairs, borders are created whenever we humans attempt to grasp things or events around us, which enables us to comprehend the world we live in. However, it is also true that the borders drawn on different phases are provisional, fraught with miscognitions and missing parts.
Drawing Lines attempts to re-consider such borders already drawn on multiple phases, from the perspective of each artist as to create new drawings of lines.
Interested in the making process of moral and ethical values, Tomohiro Kubota sheds lights on how we might re-draw the ever-shifting baselines on which we live. Dealing with subjects of nature, life, and spirits with a belief in invisible realms as opposed to the visible, Taishi Hatayama probes the borders between the material and the immaterial. Taking landscapes and still lifes as a starting point, Reina Mikame attempts to find not only the outlines our cognitive view prescribes to things and events, but the lines that inherently exist within our cognition. Throughout the exhibition, the action of drawing lines produces a distinct domain, which in itself becomes a guiding line for new domains.
What lines can we draw today?
