Aichi Triennale 2010

If you want to understand Japan, the Japanese people and their world or even your own world somewhere in the Western society look at this Exhibition. The Japanese Artist is on the money and to the point. The Japaneses Artist has documented what is going on very clearly and understandably. The Artist knows everything.

The young Japanese Artists from all over Japan do not follow the Government decision that animation is the new representative tend for Japan. Rather it is a deep complex  inwardly directed suffering and Existential Psychopathy. The Japanese psychology is extremely obscure, a twisted multi layered agony hiding behind screens providing voyeuristic advantage and no real engagement. The people are deeply alone doing the hard yard all by themselves, living and making do in a living hell. There is a clear decision that intellect cannot help them. There is a clear recognition that the intellect and more learning cannot help them. What is summarized and presented by the artists is that people have an awareness of being deliberately lied to, set up, undermined and blown away. Japan is not about suicide as a silent personal solution anymore, it is being slowly honest about the set up against the people coming from particular Globalization interests. The "Aichi Triennale 2010" had the substance missing in the State chosen animation artist Tabai representing Japan in Venice next year at the 'Art Olympics'.

Here is an allegory of the blackboard full, neurotically over full, and the chalk exhausted disrespectfully excessively covering the entire floor. All regardless of the student, learning viewer.

Here the painting is so obscure. It is fragmented into vertical strips meaningless on a shop window front. The shop has nothing to do with the painting. The viewer is looking to find the painting, many walk off. They don't find it. The artist is alone as the viewer is perpetually alone. A very strong truth.

Here the fragments of our living are placed in a room allegorically. In someones room. Those long bits are roads with cars.

This is a most obscure work. The wall is covered by well known confectionery wrapping. The neurotic endless chewing gum wrapper touches the endless effort of the Japanese people. And it is still respectfully glued to the wall with tedious effort. The twisted experience leaves the viewer with significant realization of their own truth and feel nausea.

The same obscure installation of a completely sand papered room with objects completely and obsessively sand papered. The sand papered flute sits there in a sand papered world, a common living room of a common apartment.

This is a video of kids descibe an animals week of life at the zoo. This strongly allegorical representation of an animals life at the zoo by children strongly refer to the meaninglessness of aweek of adult life.

Another video of children each descibing their idea of hell.

This is part of a collection all describing the endless effort simply put in. All are excessive. People are doing more than they should.

The lattice house is again obscure until you walk in and remember the peaking that is going on everywhere from behind the transparent curtain, venetian and lattice.
