ショーモン城
A. シーラ・ヒックス
"Sens dessus dessous"
published at 19/11/2018
このシャトーではすでに古いタペストリーの特別なコレクションの展示を行い、ガブリエル・オロスコがブロイ公妃の時代のタペストリー(壁紙)からインスピレーションを汲んで作られた「幻の花」を展示していますが、そのようなシャトーが、壁、タペストリー、そして壁紙のささやきに敏感なシーラ・ヒックスに作品を依頼しました。
彼女の作品においては、確かに、「タペストリーは壁から離れて芸術作品になった」のでした。
彼女は、画家がグアッシュの絵の具を使用するように、驚くべき芸術的な技法で繊維材料を使用します。
ひとつひとつの作品が彼女にとっては旅であり、作品としては、彼女はウールまたは麻のカラフルな繊維の束を展示し、無限に詩的な世界を生み出しています。
巨大なインスタレーションや、デリケートなコラージュ、ウールや麻の織物を使用して、彼女は色彩科学の世界をくりひろげます。彼女は、世界中を探検し、旅行して得た、織物に関する限りない知識を繰り広げます。
2018年、ショーモン・シュル・ロワールにおいて2回目の展示を行うアーチストは、羊毛と紙というふたつの素材を組み合わせて城の客間に展示します。分厚い紙が、数多くの客人と人生、そして幽霊たちを見てきた古い壁紙、そしてその空間にただよっている魂とこだまする皮膚として展示されています。
紙、絹、竹、羊毛といった材料が、絵のように、古びた壁と対話します。剥がれた壁紙が、秘密を垣間見させ、隠された物語をささやき、古い物語を色彩豊かに蘇らせます。
「彼女は展示すべき空間を前に長い間瞑想します。それは、彼女がそこに展示する材料、使用する色について考えているからですが、実際にその空間を前にして、雰囲気を感じ取ると、彼女の創造的な行為がスタートするのです。あらゆる手を尽くして、彼女はすべてのオブジェ、建築要素、ざらついた壁のなどを直感的なひらめきのおもむくままに使用し、空想の世界と観客の世界が混ざり合い、詩的にぶつかり合って既成の秩序を覆すひとつの舞台を生み出します。彼女は、何がどうあるべきか、何が起きるかを知っており、絶対的な視線に支えらている直感と長い経験にしたがって想像の世界を生み出していきます。彼女の絶対音感について言及する人もいますが、少なくとも彼女は舞台全体を一気に見抜く視線で、その色彩的な可能性を理解するのです。
彼女は、絵画や自然の要素に触発されると同時に、想像力を超えた考え、ビジョンに形を与えます。
通常では考えられないような素材、例えばシャトーの地下室の鮮やかな色彩の分厚い布や、最上階のアパートの繊細な壁紙などを利用して、建造物の詩的空間と対話を行うのです。
このように、シャトーの地下室において、暗い赤色の流れを演出し、それが演劇的に部屋に住みついてやがて床に流れ出るのです。それはまるでチェスの遊びのように転がったり、立ち止まったりします。この壮大な紫色の「カーテン・リフト」は、ヤニス・クネリスの垂直な梁と見事に向かい合っています。
しかし彼女はまた隣の「ブッチャー」では、群青色の滝を演出し、銃眼からの光と遊ぶように、空想のトンネルへの隠し扉(彼女は「秘密の出口」と読んでいます)が作られています。
「食堂」では、彼女は、石の質感に浸透する砂と、黄土色のリボンの「交錯」を混ぜ合わせています。
城の屋根裏の、もとの「客室」 にはバナーのようなモノクロの生地が拡げられて、それはまるで色彩の勝利を予見するようです。 彼女はまた、「煙突に空を落とし」ています。色調の繊細さに敏感な彼女は、古い壁の灰色と、淡いピンク色の韓国の壁紙を対比させています。彼女は見学者が通ると振動する「震える壁」を発明します。時間によって破れた古い壁紙がまだ残っています。
彼女が「魔法」と名づけた部屋では、布帛と織物を巧みな仕方で混ぜあわせ、ヴォールトの繊細さと調和して、その場所の不思議さを強調しながら、永遠に存在しているように見せます。
思考の糸のように、彼女は手にしたリールを捨てることは決してありません。床に、壁に、あらゆる種類の布やウールの糸を繰り広げていきます。環境や宇宙を創造しながら、彼女は歴史と建築との対話を続けます。彼女に似た感性をもったサルキスとガブリエル・オロスコにインスピレーションを与えたこの場所で、彼女は、雰囲気を生み出し、宙ぶらりんになった魂、前世紀に由来する微かな兆候を感じさせます。
しかし、きらきらした輝き、色合い、または光のどれをとっても彼女には疎遠なものではありません。彼女は、マチエールとカラーの可能性の広がりを、軽々と表現しています。
メッセージを明らかにすることなく、常に多義的であるシーラ・ヒックスのインスタレーションは、暗示し、私たちの魂にそっと入り込ませる、秘密の宇宙を呼び起こすものです。Chantal Colleu-Dumond(シャンタル・コルー=デュモン)

シーラ・ヒックス(Sheila HICKS)は、1934年米国のハスティングスで生まれ、1964年以来パリに住み、活動しています。
他の分野から抽象する長い伝統をもつモダンアートを基本に、米国のシーラ・ヒックスは、民衆的な工芸・織物の伝統を新しくよみがえらせ、絵画や彫刻と彼女の織物の作品との境界が見えにくくしています。エールでヨーゼフ・アルバースを師として学んだ後、彼女は1958年から1959年まで南米旅行の際に、繊維について研究を始め、コロンビア、チリ、ペルー、ボリビアの織物工芸から多くを学びました。繊維はその後、彼女の作品の主要な素材になりました。シーラ・ヒックスは、自分の仕事を、旅行や研究から得た知見をもとに、作品と観客との間の実際のやりとりや、作品が展示されている建築との間のインタラクティブなプロセスとして認識しています。
