ちょっと昔話

なぜか今、ニューヨークに行きたくて、行きたくて仕方がない。

今、barでニューヨークの話をしたからかもしれないが、若い頃、学生の頃は夏休み、春休みが長くて、勉強しない代わりに、チケットが安くて、往復5.6万位で行けたから、ソーホーに友達の知り合いがいたので、泊めてもらいながら、ニューヨーク中の美術館や博物館やギャラリーを見まくっていた。

ニューヨーク近代美術館には建築や家具やプロダクトデザインのコーナーがあり、ミースの図面やライトの落水荘の模型、コルビュジエや倉俣史朗や柳宗理の椅子やスツールをはじめてそこで見て、建築やデザインの本物にはじめて触れた感じがして、全てが私の先生だった。

それが25年前、あの頃は治安がとても悪かったけれど、今は良くなったと聞く。

見るもの、聞くもの全てが血となり肉となった、あの時の感覚を時々思い出すが、その時の感覚をまた味わいたくて行きたいのでは無いのは確かだ。むしろ、普通に淡々といたいと思う。

"A little old story"

For some reason now, I want to go to New York and I can not help going.

It might be because I talked about New York at the bar now, but when I was young, when I was a student, summer vacation, spring vacation was long, instead of studying, tickets were cheap and I could go in 560,000 round trip, so my friend to Soho Because I had an acquaintance of, I was looking at museums and museums throughout New York while staying.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has a corner of architecture, furniture and product design, and it is the first time to see the first drawing of Mies's drawings and models of Lochuisou of light, Corbusier, Shiro Kuramata, and chairs and stools of Yanagi Soran for the first time in architecture and design I felt touched and everything was my teacher.

That was 25 years ago, but at that time security was very bad, but now I hear that it has improved.

Everything I see and hear listens to blood and flesh, I sometimes remember the feeling of that time, but I certainly do not want to go to taste the feeling of that time again. Rather, I usually want to be naive.
