この度、SAIでは、深瀬昌久の個人コレクションを元にした展覧会「深瀬昌久展」を開催いたします。
 
1960年初頭より活動を始め、74年にニューヨーク近代美術館で開催された「New Japanese Photography」への出展、細江英公、東松照明、森山大道ともに85年-86 年にかけて、オックスフォード近代美術館、フィラデルフィア美術館などを巡回した展覧会「BLACK SUN: THE EYES OF FOUR」など、60年代から90年代初頭にかけての日本写真史において最も重要な作家の一人と言える深瀬昌久。 92年に不慮の事故により作家活動は急遽中断を余儀なくされますが、2000年代以降に再評価の動きは高まり、世界中から様々な深瀬像が議論されています。
 
本展は長年深瀬のアシスタントとして活動をされてきた写真家瀬戸正人氏に監修をいただき、
深瀬の代表作である「鴉」と共に、深瀬が見つめた70年代から80年代の東京という街に視点を置き
展示を行います。展覧会初日には、瀬戸氏を招いて深瀬のアシスタントとして過ごした貴重な日々の記憶をお話しいただきます。どなたでもご自由にご覧いただけますので、是非この機会にお越しください。
 
また、昨年代々木八幡にオープンしたアポイント制のブックストア「Hi Brige Books」が期間中POP UPでブックスペースを展開します。深瀬の活動時期と同年代のヴィンテージブックや写真集など、オーナーである髙橋氏がセレクトした書籍を展示販売いたします。
 

SAI presents "Masahisa Fukase Exhibition," showcasing works from his personal collection.
 
Starting his career in the early 1960s, Masahisa Fukase became one of the most significant photographers in the history of post-war Japanese photography, with his work spanning from the 1960s to the early 1990s.
His notable achievements include participating in "New Japanese Photography" at the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1974, and the touring exhibition "BLACK SUN: THE EYES OF FOUR" alongside Eikoh Hosoe, Shomei Tomatsu, and Daido Moriyama in 1985-1986, which was showcased at the Modern Art Oxford and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
 
Despite an unfortunate accident in 1992 that halted his artistic activities, the reevaluation of his work has intensified since the 2000s, sparking diverse discussions about Fukase's persona worldwide.
 
Supervised by photographer Masato Seto, who has long served as Fukase's assistant, this exhibition focuses on the city of Tokyo during the 1970s and 1980s as seen through Fukase's eyes, featuring his masterpiece 'RAVENS' among other selected works. On the first day of the exhibition, Masato Seto will be invited to talk about his memories of the precious days spent as Fukase's assistant. Please feel free to visit for this opportunity.
 
Opened last year in Yoyogi-Hachiman by appointment, the bookstore "Hi Bridge Books" also hosts a pop-up book space during the exhibition period at SAI.
Vintage books and photography collections from Fukase's era, curated by the owner Ms. Takahashi, are available for exhibition and sale.
