本書について
本書は、2004年1月17日から3月21日まで東京都現代美術館で行われた展覧会「MOTアニュアル2004 私はどこからきたのか／そしてどこへ行くのか」への出品作として書き始められたものです。同展の企画者である学芸員の関直子氏が、美術史書を執筆し展覧会の出品作とすることを念頭に、私に声をかけてくださいました。
会期の始まりまでに執筆が間に合わず、初日には暫定版を会場に展示し、数週間毎に改訂を重ねましたが、最終日にも完成には至りませんでした。その後も執筆を続けましたが、美術家である私としては作品制作を本書執筆より優先したため、なかなか進捗せず、すでに購入ご予約いただいた方ならびに関係者のかたがたには多大なご迷惑をおかけいたしました。この場を借りてお詫び申し上げます。
展覧会出品作という当初の意図から、ほとんどの図版は東京都現代美術館の所蔵作から選ばれました。キャプションに所蔵先または(C)マークが記載されている一部の作品以外は、全て同館の所蔵です。図版掲載にあたりましては2003年の時点で著作権者のかたがたにご許可をいただきました。厚く御礼申し上げます。
同展に出品された暫定版は小さい判型で、表紙には同館所蔵作の白眉、吉仲太造「地球人」をあしらいました。しかし同展終了後、引き続き執筆を続け出版することの意義を再度自問した結果、判型を大きくし、表紙には私の作品を用いることとしました。さらに図版を除く本書のテキストを、ウェブサイトにアップロードすることにしました。
英訳ならびに英文コンサルタントはアヤ・オガワ氏、織部晴崇氏、有限会社サスケハナ・コーポレション、中澤瑠薇子氏、テクノアーム株式会社にお願いいたしました。織部氏には全体にわたり監修していただきました。
著作権者のかたがたへのご連絡、暫定版制作作業では、植村麻子氏、藤田千彩氏にお世話になりました。
西沢碧梨氏、武田美和子氏、鍛冶充浩氏には、出版の実現に向けたご相談に乗っていただき、叱咤激励を賜りました。
本書執筆のアイディアを最初にくださり、さまざまにサポートしてくださいました東京都現代美術館学芸員の関直子氏、ならびに当時同館学芸員の笠原美智子氏に御礼申し上げます。
そのほか、大勢のかたがたからご助言や声援をいただきました。厚く御礼申し上げます。

About This Book
This book was written in conjunction with the exhibition "MOT Annual 2004: Where do I come from? / Where am I going?" which was held between January 17th and March 21st in 2004 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo. Seki Naoko, the planner and curator for this exhibition, asked me if I can write an art history book with the intention of exhibiting it at the exhibition.
The book was not ready by the time of the exhibition and a tentative version was exhibited at the exhibition. The book was revised weekly, but I was not able to complete this book by the end of the exhibition. The writing continued, but as an artist, I had placed a priority on the production of my artworks. The writing did not progress, and this has caused considerable disappointment for those who have already put in reservations for this book and to those who were involved with the publishing of this book. I would like to take this opportunity to express my apology for the disappointment and trouble this may have caused.
With the initial intent of exhibiting this book, most of the plates, figures and illustrations in this book were chosen from the possessions of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo. Other than those that have sources in captions or the (C) mark, all the rest of them are the possession of the museum. Permission to use the plates, figures and illustrations in this book has been obtained from the copyright owners by 2003, and I would like to express my gratitude to them.
The tentative version that was exhibited at the museum was a small size version with Yoshinaka Taizo's "The Inhabitant of the Earth," which is a masterpiece owned by the museum, on the cover. But after the exhibition, I have been pondering over whether to continue with the writing and publishing the book, and after I decided to do so, I decided to do a book in larger size with my work on the cover. I have also decided to upload the text version of this book without the plates on my website.
The English translation and English text consultants for this book were Aya Ogawa, Oribe Harutaka, Susquehanna Corporation, Nakazawa Rubiko and Technoame Co., Ltd. The overall supervision was done especially by Oribe Harutaka.
Contacts to copyright holders and production of the tentative version were done by Uemura Asako and Fujita Chisai.
I have received consultation from Nishizawa Midori, Takeda Miwako and Kaji Mitsuhiro on the publishing of this book and have received advices and encouragements from them as well.
I would also like to express my gratitude to Seki Naoko, the curator at Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, who first brought up the idea of writing a book and provided support for this book, and also to the then curator at the museum, Kasahara Michiko.
I have also received advices and encouragements from many other people and would like to express my gratitude to them as well.
