Exhibition
Jack Sal began to take an interest in photography in the late 1960s, using the camera bought by his father in Germany immediately after the war; later he studied at the Philadelphia College of Art and at the Art Institute of Chicago with the masters of the School of the New Bauhaus of Chicago Ray K. Metzker and Ken Josephson. Starting in 1972 he created a series of works with the Polaroid SX-70 translating the outside world into matter, and then moved on to exploring the female body and internal spaces, thus demonstrating that the link with the physical world is subtle but profound, even in its most abstract state.
Since the early 80s his photographic works have been included in exhibitions at the MOMA - Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Detroit Institute of the Arts, the Light Gallery in New York, the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, the Photographers Gallery in London , the International Center of Photography / ICP in New York and have been the subject of a solo exhibition at the International Museum of Photography / George Eastman House in Rochester. In 2009 they were part of the group show The Edge of Vision at the Aperture Foundation in New York (curated by Lyle Rexer).
In the 1980s he dealt with the language of photography also as curator of exhibitions at the Light Gallery in New York (Sol LeWitt Photographs 1985 and others) and collaborated with Mary Virginia Swanson on the archive work of the photos of the Magnum Agency (1984). From 1978 to 1995 he taught photography and visual arts at ICP New York, New York University, School of Visual Arts, Rutgars University.

Room 1企画展
Jack Sal solo exhibition “The Waukegan Portraits” & “cibachromes”
Jack Sal
会期：2023.04.04（TUE）- 2023.04.16（SUN）
12:00-19:00（月曜休廊 最終日16:00まで）
アメリカ・ニューヨーク在住の作家 Jack Sal を迎え、彼の2つのシリーズの作品を紹介する。
Jack Sal は、70 年代から 90 年代の間、「光を使って描く」制作を行ってきた。 クリシェ・ベールというガラス板にグラフィカルな線で描き、写真の技術で作品を制作する手法を 用いさまざまな作品を残す。 今回の一つの作品は、写真には通常用いられることのないマテリアル、絵の具を使用し身体的に アプローチすることでで、「写真」という概念を覆す。また素材となっているチバクロームはイルフォードによって 発色と保存性の良さで人気を博した印画紙だが、2004 年に製造中止となった。写真作品は材料の特性を作家が 選択しどのように使うかが表現の大きな部分だ。
この作品は制作から既に 20 年以上たった今も、未だ美しい色を保ち、作品として新鮮な驚きをもたらす。
もう一つのシリーズは、1973 年の夏、イリノイ州ウォーキガンにあるジャック ベニー芸術センターで Jack Sal が写真のインストラクターとして教職に就いていたときに制作されたポートレイト。 暗室を使わないで写真を制作するクラスで、6 歳から 13 歳までの少年少女が参加しており、 生徒たちは、見つけた素材を使ってカメラなしのフォトグラムを作成し、最終プロジェクトとして、 Sal 氏は 4 インチ x 5 インチの大判ビュー カメラを使用してポートレートプロジェクト行った。 ポラロイド 55 ポジ ネガ フィルムを使用して、ポジ プリントとネガの両方を生成し、18% 亜硫酸ナトリウム溶液でバケツに固定する必要があった。
シカゴに戻り、4 ×5 インチのネガから塩化銀ベースの写真用紙である 5 ×7 インチの スタジオプルーフ / プリントアウトペーパーにこれらの 43 枚のプリントを作成しました。 このプロジェクトのバックストーリーとして、この子供たちは” special needs” と呼ばれる、身体的・精神的に 特徴のある子供たちだと、プロジェクトの初日に Sal 氏に知らされたそう。
Sal 氏のポートレイトには愛が溢れており、そこにいる子供たちはリラックスし楽しんでいるように見える。 お互いにどのような影響を与えあったのか「ポートレイト」というもの撮る意味を再考し得、その時間を 永遠に留めるものとなっている。
