コレなんだ? 佐藤慶次郎のつくった不思議なモノたち (What Is This? The Strange Things Made by Keijiro Sato), catalogue with DVD

Notes

Catalogue with DVD (colour, 21 min) for the Museum of Fine Arts, Gifu exhibition of Keijiro Sato (佐藤慶次郎), the Jikken Kōbō composer who from around 1970 built vibrating, humming objects from medical-instrument and audio parts. The DVD shows the objects moving, with Sato's own music; the book prints a 1983 conversation between Sato and Shuntarō Tanikawa at the museum. Two copies bought: this one (Mercari, womh51) and a sealed DVD-and-booklet copy (Yahoo! Auctions l1203881920, womh19, ¥1,000 + ¥230 domestic shipping, bought 5 October 2026). See also the Monominahikaru catalogue. Physical copy in the collection, on order. Bought 2026-10-13 through ZenMarket (womh51) from Mercari: item ¥2,600, ZenMarket commission ¥800. International EMS shipping not yet billed. IN TRANSIT — awaiting the Osaka warehouse and shipment to the USA. Received 3 November 2026; the slipcase front photographed. Booklet (111 pp., 19 cm, with a chronology and bibliography) and DVD-Video in a yellow-edged black slipcase, edited and published by the executive committee of the 14th joint touring exhibition (第14回共同巡回展実行委員会), Anjō, July 2013. The show was the 2013 round of the 市町村立美術館活性化事業, the national scheme that tours a public collection to municipal museums: about thirty of Keijiro Satoh's objects from the Gifu Prefectural Museum of Art, which holds the main collection of them, shown at the Sasebo City Museum Shimanose Art Center (13 July – 17 August 2013), the Anjō Civic Gallery (27 August – 29 September) and the Nakamura Ken'ichi Memorial Koganei City Hakenomori Art Museum (12 October – 17 November). The title asks the question the objects provoke — "What is this?" — and the DVD answers it the only way that works, by showing them move.
