About Book

本姉妹と絵描きが、それぞれの「本」をそっと指差した記録

AKAAKA BIRD Vol.2

泉イネが2008年より関わってきた〈未完本姉妹〉のプロジェクトから、本姉妹モデル6名の本にまつわるエピソードを集めた一冊。「本姉妹」とは、本に親しみ、本と関わりのあった6名の女性を、著者が架空の姉妹と設定し、さまざまな集いを共にしたものです。「絵描き」にとっても、互いにとっても、実際には家族でも友人でもない不思議な間柄の彼女らが、「本」で微かに結ばれ、それぞれの体験や思いを語るこの小さな本は、「声」のもつ生々しさと抽象性が融け合い、読者もまたこの語りに自らを重ねていきます。
歳月のなかで、「本姉妹」という謎めいた設定に戸惑い、揺らぎ、日常の変化を経ていくひとりひとり。描くことから彷徨いはじめ、漉されて残る結晶を読み返す「絵描き」。
本書は、なお旅の途中にある本姉妹と絵描きが、それぞれの「本」をそっと指差した記録です。

__________ 「AKAAKA BIRD」は、始発点や転換点となる作品をその時機に呼応して刊行するもので、鳥が飛び立つように、身軽な形ながら遠くまで届くことをイメージしております。スケールをもって今に羽ばたくことを願ってやみません。

Mikan Hon Shimai

Ine Izumi

This volume brings together episodes related to books, as told by the six women who serve as the models for Mikan Hon Shimai (The Unfinished Book Sisters), a project in which Ine Izumi has been involved since 2008.

"Mikan Hon Shimai" is a fictional construct devised by the artist, in which six women who are deeply familiar with and connected to books are imagined as sisters, and have shared various gatherings together. In reality, these women occupy an unusual relationship: they are neither family nor friends, nor strictly connected to the painter herself. Lightly bound by books alone, they speak of their individual experiences and thoughts.

In this small book, where their voices are recorded, the raw immediacy of spoken narratives merges with abstraction. As readers follow these narratives, they too begin to overlay their own lives onto the stories being told.

Over the passage of time, each of the Book Sisters（Hon Shimai） experiences confusion and uncertainty around this enigmatic premise, while undergoing subtle shifts shaped by everyday change. Meanwhile, the painter--having begun to wander away from the act of painting--returns to reread the crystallized remnants that have been strained and left behind.

This book is a quiet record of the Book Sisters and the painter, still in the midst of their journey, each gently pointing toward their own "book."

AKAAKA BIRD is a publication series that responds to moments of origin or transition, releasing works in resonance with their time. Like a bird taking flight, the series aims to be light in form yet capable of traveling far. It is our earnest hope that these works may take wing in the present, carrying their own sense of scale into the distance.

Artist Information

泉イネ

絵を描く旅。様々な分野や土地の間を描くように往来。
詩集、絵本、カタログの装画、ウィンドウデザインやお皿の図案なども手がける。
2007年以前は「紺泉」の号にて装飾をモチーフに細密画風を7年間描き、紺号最後の個展『ある庭師多分のひととき』（2007年原美術館）ののち2008年以降は泉イネへと号を改めた。

本にまつわる女性たちとの出会をきっかけとした「未完本姉妹」シリーズ（2008-）、ダンサー・振付家、批評家との絵のsession「And Zone」（上野の森美術館 2011）、免疫疾患の経験から作家を休み、休館日の美術館を舞台とし現代美術家、振付家と共同で企画した「休み時間ワークショップ」（DIC川村記念美術館）、描きなおすために佐渡島や真鶴半島、別府などへ通い住み、人と出合いながら風景を紡ぐウェブメディア「shimaRTMISTLETOE」（2018-2021）、ZINE shimaRTMISTLETOE(2022)、別府で作り手を迎える場 team「（ゆ）」（2019-2021）などを通して、一人の絵の制作から思考や身体を離して新たな視点を探した。近年の展示に、2022年「紺｜泉｜イネ 1/3回顧展」（空豆）、グループショー「6 Artists」（Gallery Koyanagi）、2023年「原画」（工芸青花）などがある。

Ine Izumi

She continues a journey of painting, moving back and forth between various fields and places, as if drawing.
Alongside this practice, she works on book covers for poetry collections, picture books, and catalogues, as well as window and plate designs.
Before 2007, she worked under the name Kon Izumi, producing detailed, decoration-based paintings for seven years. After her final solo exhibition under that name, "Aru Niwa-shi - Tabun no Hitotoki (A Certain Gardener - A Moment of Plentitude)" at the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, she changed her artist name to Izumi Ine in 2008.

Her works and projects include "Mikanbon Shimai" (2008-), shaped through encounters with six women connected to books; "Zone," a painting session with dancers, choreographers, and an art critic(2011, Ueno Royal Museum of Art Gallery); and the Workshop "Rest Time"(Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art),a collaborative project with contemporary artists and choreographers that questions the rest periods taken by artists due to illness and was held in a museum on its closed day.

From 2018, in order to repaint and reconsider her work, she traveled to and lived intermittently in places such as Sado Island, the Manazuru Peninsula, and Beppu, weaving landscapes through encounters with people in the web media project shimaR TMISTLETOE (2018-2021), followed by the ZINE shimaR TMISTLETOE (2022). She was also involved in Yu (2019-2021), a team and place in Beppu that welcomes creators.Through these activities, she sought new perspectives by distancing her thinking and body from the act of solitary painting.

Recent exhibitions include Kon | Izumi | Ine: 1/3 Retrospective (Soramame, 2022), the group exhibition 6 Artists (Gallery Koyanagi), and Original Drawings (Kogei Seika, 2023).
