  • Sanjski Grad Vsakega Umetnika« – Japonski Avantgardni Center V 60
    DOI: 10.4312/as.2016.4.2.183-200 183 »Sanjski grad vsakega umetnika« – Japonski avantgardni center v 60. letih 20. stoletja Klara HRVATIN* Izvleček Članek predstavlja uvod v predstavitev umetniškega gibanja Sōgetsu (1958–1971), nje- govega mesta v zgodovini japonske avantgardne scene, pomembnosti umetniškega centra Sōgetsu (Sōgetsu Art Center ali SAC), kjer se je gibanje odvijalo, in njegovega mecena Sōfuja Teshigahare. Ob pregledu prvih obstoječih dokumentov o SAC-u, prvega, ki je služil kot uvodni vodič Centra (objavljen 1. septembra 1958), in drugega, ki je bil eksklu- zivno izdan ob njegovem odprtju (13. septembra 1958), bomo lahko natančneje razkrili SAC-ovo podobo in kapacitete ter opredelili cilje, ki si jih je postavil pred začetkom delo- vanja. Kaj je Center nudil, da je bil razglašen za »sanjski grad vsakega umetnika«? Ključne besede: japonska avantgardna umetnost, umetniško gibanje Sōgetsu, umetniški center Sōgetsu, Sōfu Teshigahara, šola ikebane Sōgetsu Abstract This article is an introduction to the Sōgetsu art movement (1958–1971): its importance in the history of the Japanese avant-garde, and the significance of the Sōgetsu Art Center (SAC) itself, including its patron Sōfu Teshigahara. By examining the first two print- ed materials on SAC, the first of which served as an introductory guide to the Center (published on September 1st, 1958), and the second printed exclusively for the Center’s opening (September 13th, 1958), we will consider the Center’s appearance and facilities and point out its functions, which Teshigahara assigned from its begining. What were the Center’s particular features by which it got called “the dream castle of every artist”? Keywords: Japanese avant-garde, Sōgetsu art movement, Sōgetsu Art Center (SAC), Sōfu Teshigahara, Sōgetsu ikebana school * Klara HRVATIN, dr., Oddelek za azijske študije, Filozofska fakulteta, Univerza v Ljubljani.

Installation detail 01 LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR The New Museum is building momentum as we move closer to realizing a beautiful new bu ilding on the Bowery that will stand as a model museum for the new century. After considering the proposals of five short-listed international architects, the Tokyo-based firm of Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa/SANAA Ltd. was chosen to design the new New Museum. SANAA has designed several art museums in Japan with other international projects currently underway. They have proposed a stunning design and ingenious solution to our requirements which will be unveiled in November. The building will be dynamic, unique, and bold , and will be a destination for people interested in contemporary art and architecture around the world. As we move forward in the design development phase, we are simultaneously starting our Capital Campaign for the new building. As of this writing, we are nearly halfway toward reaching our goal required to build this new state-of-the- art facility. We are also expanding our board of trustees and staff. I would like to welcome Mitzi Eisenberg, William Palmer, and Ellie Gordon as new board members. I would also like to welcome Lisa Roumell, Deputy Director, and Trevor Smith, Curator-two very strong new additions to our outstanding team .

Suffice to say, no modern dance movement would be what it is today without her influence. Trisha Brown’s cycles of choreographic creation were exceptionally varied, growing from solos and small group pieces to major evening-length works for a full company of dancers. She developed a fluid, yet unpredictably geometric style of dance early in her career, then transitioned to a relentlessly athletic style of dance in the late 80’s, pushing her dancers to their physical limits.
