LAIN MACAM 2025

I’m excited to take part in LINE MACAN 2025, an international art camp organized by the National Art Gallery Langkawi, Malaysia. 18 artists from 9 countries will gather to create marble sculptures over 10 days, using locally sourced marble from Langkawi Island. The completed works will become part of the museum’s collection.

I’ll be staying in Langkawi from December 18 to 29, then traveling to Kuala Lumpur to research galleries and museums before returning to Japan in the New Year. It’s been a long time since I last worked with stone—since my student days. This year, I’ve had many meaningful encounters with physical materials like iron and stone, and I’m grateful to be traveling to two countries abroad.

マレーシア国立美術館ランカウイ主催の国際アートキャンプ 「LINE MACAN 2025」 に参加します。9カ国から18名のアーティストが集まり、ランカウイ島特産の大理石を使って10日間で彫刻作品を制作。完成作品は美術館に収蔵されるプロジェクトです。

私は12月18日から29日までランカウイ島に滞在し、その後クアラルンプールへ移動。ギャラリーや美術館のリサーチを行い、年明けに帰国予定です。石の彫刻は学生以来久しぶり。今年は鉄や石など「実材」とのご縁が多い一年になりました。ありがたいことに今年は2カ国も海外へ。年越し＆誕生日を一人海外で過ごすことになるとは…ちょっと不思議な感覚ですが、今から楽しみです！
