SUMMARY:Metamorphosis
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) announces Metamorphosis\, an exhibition of fiber art created on SAORI loom by Nobu. The exhibition opens on October 6 and will remain on view through November 30\, 2016. \nThere will be an Opening Reception with the artist and SAORI weaving demonstration on October 22\, 2016 from 5 – 7 pm. A 20′ documentary about SAORI will be shown at 5:30 pm\, followed by a brief talk by Loop of the Loom Founder Yukako Satone introducing the SAORI ARTS NYC non-profit organization (saoriartsnyc.org). \nThis\, the second exhibition of SAORI fiber art at CRS\, aims to demonstrate the potential for using the SAORI therapeutic approach to weaving to explore one’s emotional and creative impulses deeply enough to create works of striking imagination\, originality and visceral impact that can be appreciated as art and serve as a vehicle for liberation for both creator and viewer. \nSAORI is a contemporary hand weaving method founded by Misao Jo (1913-\, Japan) in 1969. She started weaving when she was 57 years old and created her own easy-to-use-immediately loom and style\, free from the traditional concept and rules of weaving. She named her weaving style ‘SAORI’ and because the loom is so easy to use\, it allows anyone to express his or her self freely regardless of age\, gender\, disability or intellectual aptitude. In Zen vocabulary\, SAORI is the combination of the words SA\, meaning everything has its own individual dignity\, and ORI\, meaning weaving. \n“In SAORI\, we try not to imitate machine-made products\, and we always try to do what only human beings can do. No two weavings are alike\, and it is very natural that every single cloth freely woven by people with different personalities is beautiful in a different way. The irregular selvage and accidental skip of thread add the unprogrammed beauty to the SAORI cloths; and we admire this irregularity as ‘the beauty with lack of intentions’ created by our natural creativity.”\n— loopoftheloom.com \nSince 2004 Nobu has been active in the NYC SAORI community and and at the studio\, Loop of the Loom\, under the direction of Yukako Satone. She is a SAORI certified instructor and SAORI healing artist. During this time she has learned to use SAORI as a meditative practice to observe her inner mental and emotional state. Her commitment to the practice has freed her to allow her deepest impulses to intuitively guide her selection and manipulation of the threads. \nWhile SAORI celebrates beauty in the imperfect\, a characteristic commonly found in Japanese traditional aesthetics\, SAORI works and Nobu’s work in particular embrace improvisation and veer so far in their wildness and irregularity from traditional woven fabrics and garments that western viewers may be more inclined to place them in the abstract expressionist tradition. Rebellious and highly idiosyncratic\, Nobu’s creations burst with energy\, not an easy effect for yarn to achieve. Is the yarn imbued by Nobu with energy or is the energy already inherent within — SA\, individual dignity — simply being made palpable? Nobu’s works raise many questions without offering definitive answers or explicit meanings. They invite the viewer to feel rather than think and allow her feelings to give rise to authentic creative impulses of her own. By encouraging viewers to accept and express their own inspirations\, Nobu’s work celebrates a way of living with constant transformation of our idea of who we are\, free of self-definition and self-limitation. \nABOUT NOBU \nNobu was born in Kamakura City and lived right in front of Kanagawa Modern Museum. During her elementary school years\, she loved to visit the museum and even explored neighborhood galleries on her own. After winning an international student art competition and showing great promise\, her mother offered to send her to art school\, but Nobu instead chose to study economics at Rikkyo University. \nFor eight years after college\, Nobu worked in the fashion industry and after moving to New York with her husband\, himself a talented interior architectural designer\, she planned to open a wedding design business\, but the birth of her son led her to change directions once again. When her son turned five\, they attended a SAORI weaving workshop at CRS\, sparking her interest in fiber arts. A reunion last year with her school friend\, Yoh\, whom she found had begun painting again\, inspired her to throw herself back into it. She began training regularly at Yukako Satone’s SAORI studio uptown and soon began to develop her own style. \nPrevious Exhibitions \n2011 “Re –Birth“ was Nobu’s first exhibition\, held at CRS in New York City in March \n2012 Exhibited “All” at The Sheep Palette in Kyoto\, Japan \n2012 Exhibited “Soul Journey“ at excy gallery in New York City in October \n2012 Solo exhibition “Cocoon” in Yushima\, Tokyo \n2015 Exhibited “Deep and Deep\, Gucha Gucha” at The Sheep Palette in Kyoto\, Japan \n2015 the Loop of the Loom group show at the Tenri Gallery in New York City in April

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Out of Mind — Paintings by Eric Holzman
DESCRIPTION:CRS announces Out of Mind\, an exhibition of oil paintings by Eric Holzman. The exhibition will be on view from December 1\, 2016 – January 31\, 2017. We invite you to meet the artist at the CRS Holiday Party on Saturday\, December 10 from 4 – 8 pm. \nEric has been a professional painter and art teacher since the 1970s. This is his second solo exhibition at CRS\, his first coming in 2006. He is also now a student of A Course in Miracles and regularly drums for the monthly Healing Circles at CRS. We are pleased to be able to share his creative spirit with the CRS community more and more. \nEric Holzman always begins painting from life but brings the work back into the studio\, accumulating density of paint\, depth\, presence\, returning to many of the canvases again and again over a period of years. His landscapes share an atmospheric space that is deep\, suggestive\, sensual\, and in tension with the surface\, employing a relatively three-dimensional rendering of form in space\, relative to most modernism. Often\, the bottoms of the canvases support a lot of weight. The landscapes evoke a moment of in time\, when the play of light on leaf is just so\, and yet their weightiness imparts a sense of the ancient or timeless\, echoing T.S. Eliot: \nTime past and time future\n Allow but a little consciousness.\n To be conscious is not to be in time\n But only in time can the moment in the rose-garden\,\n The moment in the arbour where the rain beat\,\n The moment in the draughty church at smokefall\n Be remembered; involved with past and future.\n Only through time time is conquered.\n— section two\, stanza three of “Burnt Norton” from Four Quartets \nThe human figures in his landscapes are both obscured and revealed\, allowing the viewer a sense of intimacy with the subjects without sacrificing their dignity. They quietly assert themselves into the present of the landscape\, their material ethereality encoding a more substantive timeless spiritual presence. As with a portrait\, his subjects are usually placed toward the center of the canvas\, so the pictures are simply conceived\, but full of movement. While remaining grounded in perception\, Holzman takes perceptual liberties with color and design\, inspired by eastern art and its inference of the presence of the gods\, or of the sacred or the eternal. One could say he stretches pictorial representation\, in order to express the mysterious snap of each successive moment as the miracle of existence is revealed. \n“For Mr. Holzman\, making art is an endeavor through which intimacy and longing achieve a finely tuned\, if tenuous\, resolution.” — Mario Naves\, The New York Observer \nA graduate of Tyler School of Art (BFA ’71) and Yale University (MFA ’73)\, Holzman has since participated in numerous solo and curated group exhibitions at galleries in New York\, Houston\, Boston\, Antwerp\, and elsewhere. He is a past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship as well as grants from the Tiffany Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and Studio Space\, P.S. 1. Holzman has taught at Bard College\, Pratt Institute\, Chicago Art Institute\, Penn University\, Boston University\, The Studio School\, and others. \nArtist Statement \nWorking from life excited me as a student\, and it still is exciting. Still\, a painting that was begun from nature may become entirely different as it subsequently evolves in the studio. Some times they come quick without too much reworking\, and sometimes a small painting will take years to find itself\, submitting themselves to tweaking\, adjusting\, scraping\, sanding\, glazing and scumbling and any thing else that occures to me. \nI am after a kind of painting that can be enjoyed experientially; by-passing the mind\, felt in the body the heart and the soul\, like a song that feels just right\, like it has always existed. In a totally contemporary way\, I am after a slow\, sensual richness\, much more common before the modern era. \nPainting outside in nature opened doors for me. I consciously saw and I felt the vibration of energy surrounding and flowing through the trees. This was an important revelation\, which I have tried to let guide my work and my life\, as it led to a deeper knowing on a spiritual level. \nWhen I drew as a child\, the empty page was a place that I could pour myself into\, an escape. Later it became is a place to connect my inner world and outer world; sight and feeling\, memory and dream \, observation and thought. \nI love many kinds of painting from different places and times. I have no desire to disturb what was\, I want to add. In fact there are always some other painters floating around in my mind\, inspiring me\, and who I am\, in my own way\, trying to emulate and draw guidance and inspiration from. \n— Eric Holzman\nhttp://www.ericholzman.com
