/category: /Author:

In the art field, since December last year, a special exhibition of the ``University of Tsukuba Art Collection'' has been held in front of the counter on the second floor of the Taigei Library.Professor Emeritus Morio Shinoda's 《TC6106》Thank you for visiting our website.We have now replaced that work with ``Fukami,'' (purchased after winning the 2007 Meikeikai Prize), a graduation work from the School of Art by Akiko Endo, a glass artist from our university.

Mr. Endo, who studied in the craft field of the College of Fine Arts and the Graduate School of Human Sciences' Master's Program in Art, has consistently used an electric furnace (kiln) to pour glass into fireproof plaster molds and heat them. We are working on the technique of "kiln work", which involves transforming and casting. ``Deep'' was originally a work consisting of six pieces and four parts, but this time, with the permission of the artist, only two parts made up of three pieces are on display.

The UTAC University of Tsukuba Art Collection, consisting of over 600 works, is the only full-fledged art collection at a national university.As part of this, we have updated the official website that provides an online catalog of all the works in the "Ishii Collection" donated by Akira Ishii.

The Ishii Collection, which consists of over 200 paintings and ceramics, is on permanent display at the University of Tsukuba Gallery in the University Hall.There are also special exhibits on the second floor of the Joyo Bank Kenkyu Gakuen Toshi Branch and in the gallery in the Tsukuba Bank Headquarters Building.

In addition, in June 2019, we will hold an exhibition and related workshops featuring two printmakers, Tetsuro Komai and Takifumi Kiyomiya, and in July, we will focus on an anthology of poems by surrealist Yves Tanguy called Anti-Brain. We will be holding an exhibition of illustrations and prints by the three artists included in a limited edition of 6 books published in 7, as well as a public study group, at the University Hall Art Space.
