Sakai Kazunari said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, the last person in Japan to gather together the artistic director of the Yokohama Triennale, the Lion City Biennale and the curator of the Venice Biennale was Nanjo-senpai. Suddenly, Twenty years have passed. Mr. Nanjo was really brilliant back then."
"Yes, for many years in Yingqing, Nanjo-san was the main student in the Department of Aesthetics and Art History. The big photos made those young men very proud.”
Hearing this, Riki Amada sighed with a complicated mood.
Yingkei Junior High School is the best private university in Japan, and probably the richest school.
The academic status is slightly lower than that of Tokyo University, but the social status of students will be higher. Students who can afford to go to Yingkei College and universities are usually rich or expensive, which is a bit similar to Eton in the United Kingdom and Harvard in the United States. The status group in Japanese society is nicknamed the "Young Master Boys" and the "Yingqing Gang" on the Internet.
Yingqing is mainly in the field of political science, mass-producing senators and senior civil servants.
The art department generally considers those who cannot get into the top three schools of the Academy of Fine Arts to settle for the next best option.
But that was before Nanjo Shisei.
Being the first Japanese curator to be so widely recognized internationally, this news boosts the mood of local citizens, especially people in the art circle, as much as hearing who has won the Nobel Prize.
There are still more than twenty Nobel Prize winners in Japan, and Fumio Nanjo’s status is a unique one.
Even Yingqing Yishu, where he had worked for many years, was proud.
"Yingqing produces the prime minister, and Tama produces the master. If Yingqing also produces the master, what will our professional art academy do?"
Professor Amada finally endured Can't stand it anymore.
He said directly and tentatively, "If Professor Sakai is willing to hand over the exhibition to Tama, the school will probably approve a lot of funds and spend two to three billion yen as a sponsor. I guess it won't be difficult, so let's let it go." "At the Tama Art Museum"
It is relatively rare for schools to hold art exhibitions for professors.
But after reaching the level of Professor Sakai, many conventional rules are no longer binding. The funding for any media design exhibition in Yingqing is in the millions of dollars. No matter how wealthy Tama was compared to Yingqing, as long as Sakai Kazunari dared to ask for it, the school dared to give Sakai Kazunari the full amount to hold an exhibition.
It’s hard to say who takes advantage of whom.
"Oh, this may not be given to whomever I want. What I signed is exclusive, it depends on the gallery's intention. It is unlikely to hold an exhibition in the name of the school."
Uncle Sakai scratched his head in embarrassment.
"But, who can say for sure? At least the two of us can take some time to chat as individuals. Make an appointment. I know a good bird-roasted restaurant. We will have a preliminary discussion next month. , but the fastest I can get an accurate answer is next year. I am currently negotiating with the gallery to renew my contract, and I will have to make a special trip to Singapore in the second half of the year.”
"Okay, okay, it's always good to chat." Professor Amada nodded happily.
He noticed Kazunari Sakai’s schedule, recalled what he said when he stopped him, and raised his eyebrows, "Professor Sakai is going to the Lion City to be a judge."
Izunari Sakai Cheng has mentioned the Singapore Art Exhibition several times.
I know the elegant meaning when I hear the string song.
The things that are worthy of Professor Sakai’s opening shouldn’t be too small.
"Oh, I think so, but I have juniors who want to participate in the exhibition. I heard that the competition is very fierce this year, and I don't know if I can be shortlisted." He scratched his chin.
It turns out to be this.
I heard Professor Sakai say this.
Riki Amada breathed a sigh of relief.
He was indeed a little afraid that Kazunari Sakai would have any difficult requests to go to heaven.
If it is just a matter of juniors participating in the art exhibition, no matter how fierce the competition is, Professor Amada will have a lot of room for maneuver.
"It's Miss Katsuko's business. If necessary, I can also go to the judging panel and put my name on it."
"However, you also know that the judging panel mainly I am responsible for the awarding work. In the audition before the opening of the exhibition, I may not be able to say much, and there is limited room for expression."
"It doesn't matter, let me think about it, Professor Sakai, I suggest you consider looking for it. Let’s talk about Ogata, the dean of Musashino’s department. He and I have been old friends for many years. I remember that Professor Ogata should be on the list of members of the organizing committee.”
After contacting him at that time.
The Singapore Biennale still gave Rikiya Amada an invitation to be the deputy international art director.
It can be regarded as taking care of his face.
It was Amada Rikiya who felt that it was pointless to help others, so he rejected it directly.
Musashino and Tama are two universities that belong to the same school. They were historically split from the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts. Among them, Musashino’s Ogata Department Chair is a professional art history expert and art critic. .
His own work does not directly involve the field of curatorial work, so he does not cause worries or discomfort to others.
Yutian remembered that the other party should be an expert from the overseas organizing committee, and he was a very eloquent person.
"Of course, there is another option. I also have some personal relationships with this year's curator, Mika Tonks, and I can make an introduction to you if you feel it is necessary."< /p>
Amada Riki also thought for a moment, thinking that what he just said sounded like he was trying to push Uncle Sakai out, so he immediately demonstrated his own value.
“Katsuko is a well-known art child star in Asia. Even though she is a little younger, art exhibitions are always hungry for fresh blood that is good enough. I think as long as she shows some personal style, she can get a special It shouldn’t be difficult to find a position as a painter,” he hinted.
The most high-end art circle is so big. There are only ten or twenty people in Japan., three to four hundred people all over the world said it was too much.
It is true that Amada Rikiya and Curator Tonks are mainly in a competitive relationship, and it is also true that they have a certain amount of personal communication.
While everyone is watching eagerly as the chief planner of the Venice Biennale gets angry, it is also common for people to have personal relationships in private.
Everyone meets each other at various international conferences and various art exhibitions, and no one knows anyone.
I dare not say too much.
For a special invitation as a painter, Riki Amada went to sell it. As long as he paid off the capital, he could sell it back no matter what.
"Thank you, thank you, but don't, don't, don't, don't, there is no need for you to go to the art exhibition just for Shengzi, that would be too troublesome. Just do whatever you want. Children have their own ways. It’s not a good thing to try to encourage others to succeed.”
Sakai Kazunari waved his hands with a smile.
It’s enough to make the greeting look familiar, but it’s not beautiful if it’s too deliberate.
Amada Riki can also sell his face to get a place as a special painter, and Uncle Sakai can definitely do it by selling meat.
Uncle Sakai thought that the ages of his daughters Katsuko Sakai and Gu Weijing were very eye-catching even in normal years, but the competition was so fierce this year.
How many media spotlights are watching?
It is inevitable to be gossiped about and gossiped about by invited painters.
If you can get in by your own ability, don’t rely on favors.
Even if you use favors, you should use them at the most critical stage to add a fire to the situation.
We are still in the hot pot stage, so it would be nice to have some fun in advance.
The other way around.
Would it be because of this greeting that the hesitant Amada-senpai decided to go to the Singapore Biennale jury and even take the initiative to have a few words with his old friend Director Ogata?
Uncle Sakai can’t control this, and there’s nothing he can do about it.
“How could Katsuko’s father be such an outstanding, famous, and charming artist?”
People are desperately trying to sell him favors, and Kazunari Sakai is also very interested. Helpless.
He deliberately talked about this matter with Amada-senpai while he was working out, instead of in a cafe or even treating guests privately, except that the weight loss camp did not allow him to go out and eat havoc.
This is because there is nothing shameful in the conversation.
"Professor Sakai, what are you?"
Riki Amada stared at Uncle Sakai for several seconds.
After confirming that the smile on this fat guy's face was very honest and sincere, I guess it was not a pretense to show off to him.
He asked curiously.
"That's it, Senior Yutian, there is a child who has painted a good painting and wants to participate in this year's Singapore Art Exhibition. Can you please show it to me? I want to hear about your expertise. The curator’s advice was to find faults and point out problems for him."
Uncle Sakai took out his mobile phone from his pocket and pointed to the sofa in the rest area.
"Can I take up some of your fitness time? I think this kind of painting should be very popular with you. Have a say. ”
Professional painters do not necessarily have to be all-rounders. It can even be said that most of them only need to study one or two subdivided fields of painting techniques.
In the highly branched art industry
Similar to the scientific field, it is difficult to find philosophers like Aristotle and Ptolemy who are omniscient and omnipotent in everything from art to astronomy and geometry to chemistry.
< p>Practice has proved that such talented people are often found in textbooks and nailed to the pillar of shame.In the field of painters
It is enough to be good at both oil painting and watercolor. It’s not easy.
Most painters only have one or two representative painting methods.
Art critics and curators do not need to practice painting. But you need to understand most painting methods and have a macro concept of the entire art system.
In this way, among hundreds of submitted works, different painting methods, different painting schools, and different styles can be distinguished. Theme, who draws well and who draws poorly
Only you can tell who should be licked, who should be scolded, and what kind of submission should be awarded.
It’s time.
In fact, even critics and curators have a tendency to gradually subdivide. However, most of the internationally renowned curators are able to integrate colonial art from Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America. He is a knowledgeable person.
Izunari Sakai has been studying in the gym for a while with his mobile phone, and he feels that there is no need to dwell on it.
Why bother?
A lot of resources are clearly hanging around him.
Japanese universities have strict hierarchies.
Professors have luxurious restaurants and dedicated parking lots.
Even the large gym and the heated swimming pool below are specially built for the highest-level faculty and staff.
Tenured professors, department chairs and school board members. Only employees with level 1 can use it.
Not only are the equipment first-class, but ordinary personal training classes, supplements, protein powder, and vitamin energy drinks are all free of charge.
As long as he grabs a suitable one. It's okay if a strong man works as a coolie
Excellent hunters will always appear as prey. Riki Amada, who secretly covets the body of Professor Kazunari Sakai, doesn't know that he will drive his beloved BMW on time tonight Before he stopped at the door of the gym,
He was already being targeted by Sakai Kazunari, who was ready to come to work.
“Of course, hehe, he can kill our Tama mascot. It is an honor for me to be attracted by a great artist of this level. "
Professor Amada thought that the child mentioned by the other party was his daughter Katsuko Sakai, so he naturally had no reason not to agree and replied humorously.
"Actually, , I want to exhibit at this year’s Lion City Art ExhibitionTo become famous, I can personally give you a piece of advice for your daughter, and that is Impressionism. "
As Amada Rikiya walked, he said casually, "When I was still in the planning stage of the exhibition a few years ago, I talked with the Singaporean authorities. Their cultural department attaches great importance to the local characteristics of Eastern Xia and Ma." Come, India, the population is mixed. The country is too small and too close to Malaysia. Therefore, it is very important that the exhibition represents the aesthetic soul of Singapore. ”
“Impressionist painting is not difficult, and the moment it was born, it was the product of the intersection of Asian and European art philosophies. Although this is a painting method from the 19th century, it looks ancient, but if you count the painters who can make a living from the art industry today, to be honest, avant-garde artists may have the largest number of people because the threshold is the lowest. But, to put it bluntly, most people are hungry. Impressionist painters have the most stable jobs. If we count the group of painters above the middle class in Europe and America, Impressionism is still a unique existence. "
Amada Riki smacked his lips, "I have always told my students that after graduating from Tama, they want to be a painter without starving to death. It's easiest to go in both directions. One is to paint realistic portraits that entrepreneurs hang in their living rooms, which is the easiest to find customers. The other is to paint impressionistic landscapes, which are most receptive to the audience. ”
“Listen to what I say, draw Impressionism. If possible, try to incorporate some Ukiyo-e and Yamato-e lines. It will be very exciting and easy to win awards. Mr. Sakai, if this were an ordinary person, I wouldn't be willing to tell him. "
He expressed his insights.
What kind of paintings are easy to win awards? Professor Amada is a professional.
"If I have children who want to participate in the exhibition, I just let her draw it like this. ”
“That makes sense. But Amada-senpai, this is not Katsuko’s work, and” Sakai Kazunari smiled evilly, “maybe the painting method of this painting is more oriental and ancient. ”
“More oriental and more ancient”
Amada Riki was also stunned for a moment.
He sat on the sofa and took the mobile phone handed over by Sakai Kazunari. , and then he was even more stunned.
"Lang Shining"
These three words were spoken directly in Chinese by Riki Amada.
Tama has been with Hedong for a long time. Xia's cooperation project, he led a team as a long-term visiting scholar at the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, the predecessor of Qingmei many years ago.
He is a Dongxiatong-level figure and can also write calligraphy.
p>
There are specialties in the art industry.
That’s why Sakai Kazunari felt that it would be more professional to see Professor Yu Tian’s works than to give his own opinions.
< p>"The painting method of the early 18th century, Mr. Sakai, you are right, it is indeed more traditional and more oriental. "Professor Yutian licked his lips. Please remember to bookmark the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
