The piece is called “Shipping Box-1”, as you might guessed, I used the real shipping box which brought the illustration board package for my other project. I like to use colligated cardboard for its own texture and color.
Since it’s a box that I’m using, it has the inside space with darkness. When I make a small hole in this piece, the center color of hole is darkness not a black color, and I think that’s deeper than black.
この作品には装飾性は余りないし芸術商品としても売れるとは思わないが、こういうのが気に入っている。
“シッピング・ボックス・1”と名付けられた作品で、使っているのは他の作品に使ったイラストレーション・ボードのパッケージを送ってきた正に輸送用の段ボール箱である。 箱の中は部屋の中の様なもので、蓋を閉じると中は真っ暗になる。 外から小さな穴を開けると中の暗黒部分が見える。 このダークネスは色の黒よりも奥深く感じる暗黒であるような気がする。 光の無い暗さは黒い光より深く遠いのである。

Plastic Colored Wires
It is ironical that I’m advocating through the ready-mades that anyone can be an artist without drawing or painting. Why anyone would buy an artwork if anybody can make it.
Well, almost anyone can play a guitar but only a few people would be paid to play.
I didn’t make the replica of the bicycle wheel to sell, I wanted to convey the ideas by reproducing it. Sometimes an art work can’t be a commercial good even though you can put a price tag on it.
In this piece I purposely stayed in basic so the people could think that I could do that. It is very important to do it yourself and to get experience in creating process, but most people just say it and never do it.
The wire art or wire as media is quite interesting to me. There are many exciting wire sculptures as may know like 1963 Calder’s wire face. If you can imagine that color lines that you can draw in 3-D space, a painting in 3-D canvas kainda thing.
30 years age at my first exhibit in San Francisco, I made an assemblage piece which made with color plastic coated coat hangers. Three decades later I’m still doing same thing. I’ve got get something improved here soon.
ワイヤー・アートはレディーメードの影響を受けていれば自然の流れとして出くわすことになる。 ここにあげたアレキサンダー・カルダーの“顔“もほんの一例で、グーグルで検索すれば沢山の面白い作品が出てくるだろう。
色の付いたワイヤーを立体空間に描く線として考えている訳で、彫刻を制作するのとは感じが違うような気がする。 例えは悪いかもしれないが、3Dプリンターで立体を描いていくのに似ているかもしれない。
そう言えば30年前のサン・フランシスコでの個展の時も、色々な色のビニールでカバーされた針金のハンガーを使って、インスタレーションを出展していたのを思い出した。

The Ready-Made
This is a replica of the Ready-Made called “The Bicycle Wheel” created by Marcel Duchamp at his atelier in Paris 1913. Duchamp liked to sit by his fire place and watch the fire. ‘Cause I can enjoy watching the fire dance, he said. I imagine that he saw the lights dance in reflection from the spooks of turning wheel.
What I like about this piece is that it has all the elements of the great piece of art work; it has a simple beautiful form with function and moving part. But it wasn’t made by the artist’s hands rather it was just put together what already existed things. By doing so, Marcel Duchamp expanded the concept of what art work can be.
Around the same time the famous International Exhibition of Modern Art in New York also know as the Armory Show was a big success and really open the door to the American Modernism. With victory in the War and becoming the new industrial power, the modernism flourished in US, and later into Dada and Surrealism.
At the Armory show Marcel Duchamp exhibited a painting called “Nude descending the stairway” It was one of the most controversial pieces in the show because it contained elements of time and movement. How do you express time and movement in a painting?
A couple of years later he created the most well known ready-made piece called “The Fountain”, and tried to exhibit at the Independent Show but failed. It became the most reproduced art piece today.
The Fountain is like the Bicycle Wheel, it’s a clever choice from an ordinary subject. It has nice curved line with porcelain’s smooth skin; it has all elements of a good piece of art work. Later he even used invisible air in Paris to create a piece called “5-cc”
5-cc was made for his friend in California, what a wonderful gift that would be. Human brain feels most happy when thinking for someone you know. It may be the time to buy an original art work for someone you know today.
The point here is the ready-made object expands the concept of what can be an art piece. By using the media or materials that never been used or even considered. Even art piece didn’t have to be made by the artist himself anymore.
Duchamp had a long interest in movement, as you may say that the Bicycle Wheel was a first piece of kinetic art. When Alexander Calder made moving sculpture in 19xx, it was rightfully named “Mobile” by Marcel Duchamp.
It’s the first assemblage in a way or you may say “it’s an installation object” in today’s art. It’s an assembled piece which leads to assemblages like the one famous piece by Robert Rauschenberg.
The ready-mades are the art objects that lead all these new art concepts and style in today’s art. Because the Ready Made expanded the envelop of what visual art can be.
Change always comes from within the mind.
