SUMMARY:Exhibition:  The Mortal Apparatus — Photographs of Flowers & Cityscapes by Chris Fiore
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents The Mortal Apparatus\, an exhibition of photographs of fading flowers and cityscapes by Chris Fiore. A mix of color and b&w\, the photographs are all clearly digitally manipulated and highlight the artificiality and intentionality of the photographic act. The images call attention to the often overlooked beauty that can be found in decaying objects\, natural and man-made\, suggesting how our minds look for signs of the eternal in the ephemeral and create new layers of meaning. Ultimately\, these works invite us to consider how our thoughts touch and re-make everything we look upon. \nThe exhibition opens on September 14\, 2017 and will remain on view until November 30\, 2017. An Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Friday\, September 22\, 2017 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. \nIn conjunction with the exhibition\, two free evenings of screenings of film/video work by the artist will take place on October 13 (“Goodman” and “The Red Umbrella Diaries”) and on November 10 (world premiere of “The Ken Stones:  Miami” and A(DE)SCENT”) from 7:30 – 10 pm. Seating for these screenings is limited and available on a first come\, first serve basis. \nArtist’s Exhibition Statement: \nFrom time immemorial the nature of what we value most has been defined in human terms; our families\, our villages\, our rulers\, our religions\, have defined us in ways intrinsic to our nature as people\, as father\, mother\, sister\, brother\, friend\, and neighbor\, etc. We lived in a world of barter and local currencies defined by our communities and shared needs. \nThen the industrial revolution introduced a new set of values as we had an entirely new thing to measure ourselves against: the ubiquitous machine. Mechanical things that could weave\, move\, and manufacture faster than any human began to shape the lives of millions of people who moved from farms and villages to the cities (massive machines themselves) in search of factory work. This shaping of our lives by technology and factory work has since enveloped the world and affects every aspect of our lives. \nWilling or not\, we are supplicants to the mechanical and the cybernetic. From the moment our parents sat us down in front of a screen\, be it a television\, tablet\, or phone\, automation has literally shaped our minds\, our perception of reality\, and in turn\, what we value. We are no longer strictly human and the velocity of our technologies make us less so every day. In short\, we are already cyborgs. \nArtist Statement \nThe camera is my favorite machine. To me\, the camera has transcended its nature as a mechanical device and has become something verging on a magic instrument. Capable of capturing the fleeting and the ephemeral\, of freezing light and stopping time\, of making the intimate public\, of telling profound truths and fascinating lies\, of imbuing meaning into the mundane and transforming the precious into the mechanical\, the camera is a collective third eye that has shaped the perceptions of a species. \nArtist Profile: \nFilmmaker\, writer\, and artist Chris Fiore\, born 1959 in Norfolk\, Virginia\, received his BFA from Antioch College in 1984. In the late 80’s he was one of the founders of the Zone\, a artist collective occupying an abandoned warehouse at 104 South 4th St\, in Williamsburg\, Brooklyn. Fiore showed at the East Village’s KOAP gallery in the early 90’s and in 1995 directed the underground documentary Trip and Go Naked\, winner of the Excellence in Sexual Theater award at Arlene’s Grocery Picture Show. He went on to direct the feature documentary Backstage for Miramax\, a behind the scenes look at Jay Z’s Hard Knock Life Tour. The film had a profitable run in theaters and is still occasionally in rotation on the Showtime network 17 years after it was made. Fiore has also directed documentaries on the making of the Victoria’s Secret Christmas Catalog\, the band Paramore\, as well as two prime time specials for Fox Television. His most recent documentary\, Goodwoman\, tells the story of Debra Goodman\, an activist brutally arrested for filming the NYPD. Featured in several film festivals\, Goodwoman won the Grand Jury Award at the 2016 LA Film Invasion film festival. He’s currently directing a documentary and web series on artist Ken Hiratsuka. \nFiore’s first feature film script\, The Utopia Virus\, finished in the top ten of the 2005 Final Draft Big Break screenwriting contest. He also wrote the Wassup Obama ad\, described by Salon.com as one of the most creative of the 2008 presidential campaign and winner of a Cannes Lion. He’s currently working on a series of film treatments for a Beijing based production company. \nFiore’s film work has directly influenced his art over the years\, in his use of appropriated imagery\, presentation of sequential images\, and in the cinematically dynamic composition of his mosaic photography. Fiore is represented by the Ethan Pettit Gallery. \nWebsites: \nchrisfiore.nyc\ngoodwomanmovie.com\nthekenstones.com\nabillionbeautifuldays.com \nArt Resume \nEducation: \nBachelor of Fine Arts\, Antioch College\, Yellow Springs\, Ohio\, 1984. \nOne Person Show \n1991 Space Case Gallery\, P.S. 122: NYC \nGuest Artist: \n2017 Nobuko Tsuruta\, 12 Years\, Tenri Gallery\, NYC \nGroup Shows : \n2015 Spring Salon\, Ethan Pettit Gallery\, Brooklyn \n2015 Morphopolis\, Ethan Pettit Gallery\, Brooklyn \n2007 Sun Pictures to Megapixels\, WAH Art Center\, Brooklyn \n2004 Projekt30 : Juried online group show \n1999 triad: an observation of artist/friendship triangles\, Vibrant Gallery\, NYC \n1999 CG ART\, KOAP Gallery\, NYC \n1997 Trip\, Gallery T.Y.K-Two\, Tokyo\, Japan \n1997 Future in 3D\, KOAP Gallery\, NYC \n1996 Cupid\, KOAP Gallery\, NYC \n1995 Blood in the Heart\, KOAP Gallery\, NYC \n1990 Possible Photography\, Ward Nasse Gallery\, NYC \n1990 Epoche Sex Salon\, Epoche Gallery\, Williamsburg\, Brooklyn \n1989 The Gridlock Exhibit\, Minor Injury Gallery\, Williamsburg\, Brooklyn \n1988 CyberFunk\, The Zone\, Williamsburg\, Brooklyn \n1987 The Zone Show\, The Zone\, Williamsburg\, Brooklyn

SUMMARY:INCA COSMOS VISION AND INCA WISDOM WITH JORGE LUIS DELGADO\, A PROMINENT PERUVIAN SHAMAN.
DESCRIPTION:Jorge Luis Delgado is the Andean shaman\, healer\, mystic\, and author. He was born in the highlands near Lake Titicaca\, Peru and of Aymara Incan heritage.\nAs an indigenous Incan with a brilliant mind\, he is able to express the knowledge and experiences of his spiritual heritage in practical terms that are as alive and viable in today’s modern cities\, as they were in the ancient mountaintop city of Machu Picchu. \nIn the Inca tradition\, there is no separation between the physical and spiritual worlds. Jorge is expert at walking the path between both worlds.\nHe mentioned we live in extraordinary time. In Peru\, descendants of the Inca called this time the Pachakuti\, “the return to the Essence of the Cosmos” after 500 years of darkness. Peru is said to be the ‘morning of the new sun’ – the portal through which rays of the new light will begin to awaken humanity to a new consciousness.\nAnd in this new day\, we are awakening. Some had flashlights and awoke before the sunrise. Others are rising at its first rays. Still\, others will need a strong cup of coffee to get there. Whatever the pace\, everyone will eventually be awakened in this cycle. He is known around the world as he is also respected by the Andean priests and indigenous people of the region. His knowledge spans the culture\, the traditions\, and the spiritual heritage of his vibrant Inca world. Any encounter with Jorge Luis Delgado is a heart-expanding journey.\nHe has a vast collection of antique textiles and artifacts\, which he is currently being or ganized and displayed in a museum at Taypikala Hotel\, Cusco. He has hosted and remained in contact with people like Don Miguel Ruiz (author of ‘Four Agreements’)\, Bo Bingham (grandson of Hiram Bingham who discovered Machu Picchu)\, and David Childress (author of the Lost Cities Series). Jorge Luis was featured on the BBC television in the series called Everyman. \nHe is the author of the highly acclaimed book\, “Andean Awakening: An Incan Guide to Mystic Peru”\, published in the USA.\nHis new book\, “Sabiduría Inca” (Inka Wisdom) was translated into English. It will be published in the USA soon. \nPlease click on the link below to register for this prepaid event. On the page\, go to the calendar to pick the right date.\nhttps://www.meetup.com/Circle-of-Friendship-with-Jorge-Luis-Delgado-Meetup/ \nPayment is due by October 20th\, 2017.\nContact us anytime by email if you have questions regarding this information or the event at MeditationNY@yahoo.com \n

SUMMARY:Prayer for Amara: Sound Meditation + Whirling
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends of CRS and the Williams family\, \nCRS invites you to join us for a sound and movement meditation for Amara Williams on Thursday\, Nov 16 from 8 – 9:45 pm. We will gather monthly to remember the divine strength within ourselves and to support the family of Kenji and Sayoko Williams’ five-year-old daughter\, Amara\, who is growing up with a brain tumor and all the challenges that presents. Our minds will join with Amara’s prayer circle of hundreds of people around the world. \nThis month\, our sound healers Senko and Miyoko are away and Sayoko will join us late\, so musician Saco Yasuma and CRS Healer Christopher Pelham will lead us through the opening hour of sound meditation and guided meditation and whirling practice. Please feel free to bring your frame drum\, rattle\, whistle\, chimes\, or other instrument. You don’t need to be experienced. Together\, we will learn to listen to one another and express ourselves and find Oneness of intention. \nWhirling is a devotional dance practice that Amara’s mother\, performing artist Lale Sayoko\, has been exploring as a way of uniting her dance practice with her prayers for her daughter. No experience is necessary. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 on Nov 16. 50% of the proceeds will support the Williams family. \nThrough whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn\, that we may share our divine strength and bear witness to the divinity in others. \nIf you are quiet and in a state of prayer when you Turn\, offering everything of yourself to God\, then when your body is spinning\, there is a completely still point in the center… The heavens respond; and all the invisible kingdoms join in the dance. But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth. As you act as a conduit in the Turn\, the light comes through the right hand\, and the left hand brings it into this world… We turn for God and for the world\, and it is the most beautiful thing you can imagine. — Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Hyatt Dede \nAbout Lale Sayoko \nLale was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, to New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show. Appearing in Japanese and American magazines and newspapers\, Lale aspires for dance to be a powerful communicator though traditional technique and spiritual embodiment. She has lately been studying Sufi dance with Rana Gorgani.\nhttp://www.lalesayoko.com
