final stop Takamatsu Port, Setouchi Triennale Fall season 2016

「高松港に立つ、高さ8メートルもの2本の柱。カラフルな柱の一部は鏡面となっていて、港や海、建物など周囲の光景を映し、見る位置や時間帯、状況に応じて多様な表情を見せる。つまり、高松の環境を可視化すると同時に、見る者さえもはっきりと映し出す。

聳立在高松港，高達8公尺的兩根柱子。色彩豔麗的部分為鏡子表面，反照周遭港口及大海、建築物等風景，依欣賞位置或時段等不同狀況呈現多樣風情。在將高松環境圖像化的同時，也清晰反照出鑑賞者的面貌。

Two eight-meter high pillars stand at Takamatsu Port. Partly covered with mirrors, the colorful pillars reflect the views of the surrounding port, the sea, and the buildings, altering their appearance depending on where the viewer stands, the time of day, and other circumstances. The pillars visualize the Takamatsu environment and, at the same time, they also reflect the person looking at them.」

173 Banker, Nurse, Detective, Lawyer /「銀行家、看護師、探偵、弁護士」/「銀行家、護士、偵探、律師」 Julian Opie

「ことでん高松築港駅付近に、4体の石の彫刻を設置。大理石の「銀行家」や、庵治石の「看護師」、石灰岩の「探偵」、それに黒御影の「弁護士」だ。地元産などの石を用いた、現代的な印象を与える彫刻作品である。

There are four stone sculptures near Kotoden Takamatsu-Chikko station. They are the Banker in black marble, the Nurse in Aji stone, the Detective in limestone, and the Lawyer in black granite. Made with locally-produced stone, the sculptures have a modern feel.

在高松琴平電鐵的高松築港站附近，設置了四座雕刻石像。它們是黑大理石製的「銀行家」，庵治石製的「護士」，石灰岩製的「偵探」，還有黑色花崗岩製的「律師」。使用當地出產石材，予人現代化印象的雕刻作品。」

當我們的瀨戶內海藝術行程由男木島回程到高松港，也是接近藝術行程的尾聲。高松市／港設置許多作品，分布太廣，我們只選了這回藝術祭的主宣傳作品跟英國藝術家Julie Opie 的作品，其中，Julie Opie的作品我們在2013年London市區商業辦公大樓外牆就欣賞了她的燈箱裝置藝術，又今年初，在香港的Art Basel, 我也看到另ㄧ件，燈箱裝置作品，在藝術季文宣品看到不免想見識，這回作品是單純立體雕塑，矗立在車站行道上，一點也不衝突，很融入市區景觀！

Takamatsu port was our final stop art touring on Setouchi at this holiday.

The Liminal-Air-core- couldn't be missed as standing at the bay of the port.

And we selected British artist, Julie Opie's work for the ending of our Setouchi trip. We had seen her piece first time in London, 2013, it was an installation of lighting motion on the building. In addition, I happened to catch up her another piece at the Art Basel Hong Kong in this spring. Apart from these two works, her pieses were presented as stone sculptures and stand in front of underground station at the city of Takamatsu, still, simple shapes of figures, were perfectly alone with the city landscape.
