Not clear but I still alive and lukewarm blood running around my body. 暖かい日だけど、曇ってる。まるでわたしの心のようだ。晴れてはないがまだ生きてて、ぬるま湯のごとき血がながれてる。 But, this dog and the owner made me smile. She has two spoons, one for the dog and one for her. However, she has no time to eat ice cream. The …

Tomorrow is the opening of a show in my tiny gallery. We are doing the installation right now. Every time, at each installation, I know the nature of the artists. Sometimes it kills me. It’s a joke. 明日は、私の小さなギャラリーは、オープニングです。私達は今、インスタレーションの最中です。毎回、インスタレーションの度に私はアーテイストたちの正体を知ることになる。それで、時々死にたくなる。まあ、それは大袈裟だけど。 Last night, I talked with Kuroneko Pooh on a phone. She said it annoying to read your …

But, I never think Trevor got influence from Bonnard. I think Trevor’s mind is free from art history. トレバー清水の展覧会のプレスリリースで、ボナールについて言及されてたけど、私は、トレバーの作品からボナールを連想したことがない。言われてみれば、筆のタッチが似てる。でも、トレバーがボナールから影響を受けたとは思わない。トレバーは美術の歴史とかから解放されてると思う。 Bonnard is one of the interesting artists for me. Because of his …
