人不足

レジデンス８ヶ月と２０日目

ライクスのworkshopsが今、大変です。
ワークショップのテクニシャン（技術者）たちが、つまりアーティストの制作、プロジェクトをサポートする仕事の人たちが続々辞めていってしまっています。
絶え間のないアーティストからの要求（彼らは欲望と呼んでた）に応え続け、疲れて辞めるとか、そのアシスタントが一人ではワークショップを支えきれず、突然辞めてしまったり、まあふつうに定年？退職とか。そういうことが続いてライクス大打撃です。つまり人不足。
これからopen studioに向けて各ワークショップは忙しさのピークを迎えるところなので、このスタッフ不足は皆の頭の痛いところとなりそうです（オランダ人のんびりしてるし）。

でもまあ、これも本当に必要なものを考えたり、知恵絞ってつくるいいきっかけかもしれません。郷にいっては郷に従えという言葉もありますし、工夫しないとね。今まで働いてくれたテクニシャン達ありがとうよ〜。

The Staffing Shortage

The workshops at Rijks are now in trouble.
One after another, the technicians who have been supporting artists’ projects left the job.
Some left as they became tired of endless requests from the artists (they called it ‘desire’ not requests); others followed them as a result of trying to run the workshop with less number of staffs. They were worn down. There were also some staffs who left simply because it was the end of their contract. In any case, staffs left their jobs one after another, and now Rijks is facing a problem – the staffing shortage.
This will be a serious problem for everyone as it gets closer to the open studio – the workshops will face the busiest time of the year as the artists begin to work like mad (and usually Dutch people are rather relaxed, you know).

But maybe... it is a good opportunity for us to use our brain and come up with ways of doing things... or to think once again whether what we are trying to do is really necessary. As the saying goes ‘Do as the Romans do,’ we must try and be creative. And to those technicians who supported us... I would like to say a big thank you...!
