本年も残りわずかとなりましたが、奇妙な一年を締めくくるにあたって、インド・ニューデリーのGallery ONKAF主催による国際グループ展「ALTERNATE SPACE」に作品を出展します。世界の現状を考慮して、2020年12月28日〜2021年1月9日までオンラインでの開催となります。実際の展示は、パンデミックの状況次第開催される予定です。
展示作品：
entropy-A (single-ch. HD video + stereo Audio / 4min30 / 2020)
Artist(s): ACCI BABA (film/sound)
mercurius (single-ch. HD video + stereo Audio / 3min / 2020)
Artist(s): ACCI BABA (film) / YU MIYASHITA (music)
いずれの作品も今年の全国コロナウイルスロックダウン中に制作されたもので、公式な文化機関では世界初披露となります。今思い起こすと、私の芸術活動が本格化したのは、2009年のインドでの舞台公演がきっかけでした。干支一周に差し掛かり、再びインドに呼ばれたのは不思議な感覚でありますが、これを一種のメッセージとして受け止め、次のサイクルに向けて引き続き精進します。
世界に調和が訪れますように。🙏

Curatorial Statement:
Reclaiming the past is a sepia lane of forever known reality until shaken hard. Sapiens have never been this doubtful of their existence in the presence of other fellow beings. The essence of a society to socialize now meets with inhibited minds. It now seems like a distant land where people could come together to witness the world set to stage. Excruciating scenarios such as now have forced or at its best inspired artists to find alternate space for their artistic expression. Versions may have been revised, forms experimented with, new avenues of dissemination explored along or the only stage that looked feasible is set in a virtual world. The alternate space could have been any form developed through this lockdown phenomenon but has presented an uncharted journey to tread. We have been wondering how art helped heal generations of artists to keep their heads up. When resources were a constraint did fluidity of their art scale hard and was rigid or they found their way to flow? We let memories behold us but anticipatorily inspire a cry for hope that is circumstantially demanded.
