第2回 審査員講評 1989/2nd  Discussion Forum
 






● 審査委員長
★栄久庵 憲司
(インダストリアル・デザイナー)

光を大事に扱うようになってきた。光と“遊んでいる”点が大きな変化として見られたと思う。
作品の完成度が高く、それだけで存在感のあるものと、様々なシチュエーションに寄って表情が変わる“使い手参加の作品”といった2つの傾向がみられた。

● 審査委員
★粟津 潔
(グラフィック・デザイナー)

コンペも2回目を迎えて活気がでてきた。より力のこもった作品が目立ってきたというべきか。金賞作品「月に寄せて」は執拗なまでのイメージの造形化が見事であり、銀賞作品「あかり・12ヶ月」は明かりに対する繊細な感情が、和紙という素材そのものの美しさに結実している。

★菊竹 清訓
(建築家)

3つの大きな方向性が顕著であった。
1)道具化・コンパクト化
2)環境・空間との融和
3)単独でのシンボルとしての可能性
きわめて素朴な観点から制作を始めながら、使う側が動かすことで利用のバリエーションを感じさせる作品も多く好感が持てた。

★ジョナサン・デ・パス
(建築家・インテリアデザイナー)
参加作品にはいくつかの傾向が見られた。
一つ目は、メタファー的表現に高い関心を示す作品群。二つ目は、技術面やムーブメントに興味をひかれている作品群。三つ目は、照明そのものの質を念頭においた作品群。正直に言うと、私が最も気に入っているのは、三つ目の作品群である。

On the whole, the use of light is being valued. As one great change, it seems rather that the creators are "playing," or enjoying themselves with light. There were two different tendencies in the kinds of works; that is, one that has such a high degree of perfection that it has substance and existential value just for that, and the other is that which changes expression according to various situations, allowing the user to participate in the making of it.

The competition has become livelier and full of vigor. The Gold Prize winning work "In Dedication to the Moon" persists itself in presenting the image of traveling. The Silver Prize winning work "The Light in Twelve Months" had fructified the natural beauty of Japanese paper into different variations, expressing an emotion contrary to the fine light hidden within.

We feel there were three greatly marked directions. This is 1) implementing or compactness, 2) harmony with the surroundings and atmosphere, and 3) possibilities as a symbol on its own. What gave us favorable impressions regarding the works of art is that though each of theme start out from an extremely simple stand point, most of them gives a myriad of variations of uses depending on how the user moves their positions and so on.

Jonathan De Pas
(Architect, Interior Designer)
We could find several common tendencies in the works entered for this competition. First of all, in some works we could feel a strong sense of attraction towards metaphorical expressions. Other works were deeply attracted to movement and the technical aspects. The remaining works keep in mind the quality and character of lighting itself. To be honest, this last group is my personal preference as the best works of art.
