Impressions from visitors〈excerpt〉
It was a beautiful confrontation.
It was a beautiful confrontation.
Ryoju Tokai （Movie producer・Kyodo News reporter）
It was like a Noh play. I spent some quality time reflecting on myself.
A big screen was very good.I appreciated the clearest Mindfulness , all over again.
A kind of minimalist exhibition, so sharp and fantastic.Austere yet somehow heartfelt atmosphere. Kunio Motoe （Professor at Tama Art University）
I lost track of time. Every moment passed with a movement, and I lost my sense of time.
Good old Barnett Newman. I’m from a generation that enthused over these things. I am happy that they firmly face on the younger
generation that tends to not appreciate them.
Wonderful! It made me want to see Newman’s works.
I felt the force of "Cathedra" that exposed the process of standing up with the performer.
Kenichi Takeda (Musician・Music critic)
She stood up, feeling the painting and the air... and obtaining power. I found the process of standing up impressive.
The way Takako Ihoda created, wove and formed moments “directly” was perhaps more of a dogmatic world than a performance. There are stories to the dances. Dancers must separate from themselves once. Ihoda’s continuous performance must be appreciated, like viewing a painting. What moved in the video was
Newman’s painting, not Ihoda. Then what was Ihoda doing? As I said before, she wasn’t performing. She just created, wove and formed moments directly. Like a painting.
Tetsuya Miyata (Visiting member professor at Kyoto Saga University of Art )
