Paper exhibition invitations may seem old fashioned and out of date but they still function very well. We will have achieved our aim if visitors to this show feel a sense of longing and excitement towards the exhibitions represented in the presented invitations. When this response has been generated - the invitations themselves will truly function as active parts of the exhibition. The annual participants, friends of XYZ Collective and Doskoi Steak House including artists and curators/gallerists, designed "imaginary" invitation cards for exhibitions both impossible and possible or just a dream.... these "imaginary exhibition invitation cards" suggest that anyone may now make an exhibition invitation when, for whom and however they may want. This exhibition serves as a benefit for the wide range of XYZ Collective activities. The invitation as artworks by artist are placed on sale. In Japan, spaces such as XYZ Collective - not entirely a commercial gallery, not exactly an artist-run-space is quite rare and difficult to maintain. Yet XYZ Collective has managed to further interest in their aesthetic through projects such as a co-curated show with art space 356 Mission in Los Angeles, the presentation of a two-person show with Yuki Kimura and Kenji Ide; the Collective has future exhibitions planned with German artist Viet Laurent Kurz and Ben Schumacher , and Los Angeles based Puppies Puppies. *** XYZ Collectiveのためのベネフィット展 「クールインヴィテーションズ 4」 毎年恒例の「Cool Invitations 4」の季節がやってまいりました。 今年は、9月に開催する運びとなりました。デジタル化の波に押しやられ、招待状が紙で届くのが古くさい時代になりましたが、招待状を送るという機能はメールなってもまだ残っています。この展覧会にて、訪れた人がコレクション展示された招待状を見て、さまざまな過去の展覧会を思い出してもらえたら嬉しいです。その時に紙の招待状は、展覧会の一部の役目を果たしている事になるからです。恒例になった展覧会の参加者には、まったくの想像上の招待状を考える事をお願いしました。不可能でも可能でもある展覧会、単なる夢の招待状、これらの「想像の展覧会の招待状」は、アートに関わる人なら誰でも考える事ができます。 本展覧会は、XYZ Collectiveの活動繁栄のために行われるベネフィット展覧会です。 アーティストが手がけた作品としての招待状を販売いたします。日本では、まだ完全にコマーシャルギャラリーではないような、XYZ Collectiveのようなアーティストランスペースが活動していくのは、非常に難しい課題です。このベネフィット展を通し、本年度は、ベルリン在住のアーティスト、木村友紀と東京を拠点にする井出健嗣展を開催し、今後は、ドイツを拠点に活動をするアーティストVeit Laurent KurzとBen Schumacherの展覧会を開催する他、来年には今をときめく若手アーティストパピーズパピーズの2回目の個展を開催する予定です。ロサンゼルスにあるアートスペース、356ミッションにてキュレーションを手がけるなど、日本のアーティストを国際的なプロジェクトに招聘する役目も担っています。
