SUMMARY:Exhibition: CODE — Drawings & Visual Poetry by Teo Yamamoto
DESCRIPTION:The CRS Gallery is pleased to announce CODE: Drawings and Visual Poetry by Teo Yamamoto. The exhibition will will be on display from May 7 – June 18\, 2011. An opening reception will be held on May 7 from 6 – 8 pm and will include a poetry reading by Teo accompanied by Hacci on Jew’s harp and bandoneon. \nThe art works in this exhibition consist of ink and paper drawings\, chapbooks\, visual poems of varying sizes. Many are composed on black paper. The types and combinations of ink and paper are a secret\, an alchemical code discovered through much labor and treasured by the artist for its synergistic luminescence. \nThe subjects\, too\, suggest codes\, celestial constellations flickering incompletely into view\, half-decoded ideograms tuned in from some scrambled frequency broadcast perhaps by nature itself\, like the mysterious photons emitted by all DNA. Look closer and you’ll find that the suggested figures and structures themselves are built up out of smaller code-like patterns of similar shapes. Sometimes we sense a pattern without recognizing it. Sometimes one person’s pattern is another’s noise. What’s organic at one level may appear mechanistic up close. In Yamamoto’s work\, the familiar visual distinctions between the organic and inorganic\, and between the patterned and the chaotic break down. \nAre the compositions painstakingly formulated or haphazardly improvised? Godlike or childlike? Comforting or alienating? We recognize animal figures and man-made structures suggested by the same ambiguous code-like shapes. This suggests a commonality among all the elements\, but there is just enough whimsy and mystery in the arrangements to preclude easy de-codifcation and to induce in the viewer a childlike delight\, like life itself. \nAbout Teo Yamamoto \nTeo Yamamoto has been living in New York City since 1989. She has been producing and publishing a variety of art and has been involved as visual artist\, designer\, poet and writer with many projects based in New York and Tokyo. \nTwo of her books of poems were published in Japan:  “running God” and “blue elf weed.” Also\, her series of chapbooks titled “The tail” has been issued quarterly for four years. The latest chapbook called “CODE” is being issued in conjunction with the exhibition at CRS Gallery. The series of her visual poetry called “breath” was published in the poetry magazine “gui.” \nTeo has been producing the series of white line drawings since 2007. \n*** \nFrom childhood through my teenage years\, I received many awards for my drawings and pictures\, which made my young heart happy. I was delighted with it and went to art college. I dived into raucous times after graduation\, working on visual design by day and rolling music at night. Later\, I moved to New York and turned to the quiet life. I wrote and wrote as I kept walking\, and created again. And one day\, during a disquieting time in my life\, swinging between hope and despair\, I found a paintbrush couched in a crack in the pavement downtown. I had buried that brush at the bottom of my pocket for such a long time\, but now the raccoon was out of the bag. Since then\, I have been drawing these and those. This is my first solo exhibition as a visual poet. \n*** \nExhibition Statement \nCODE\nBy Teo Yamamoto \nI sit in front of my desk. \nThe paper is already there facing me. Sometimes\, I grab the pen right away and stare at the paper because it’s already begun. Other times\, I just turn off all the usual lights shining in my heart\, and listen in silence. Then\, in time\, it comes close. \nIt comes up from the bottom like soda bubbles. Or it falls down quietly from sky like snow flapping in the air. From here and there\, slowly\, or sometimes it bounces out staccato. It’s like wind blowing endlessly from anywhere. \nThus\, I receive various—but most of the time I don’t know where they come from or what they signify. As a family of raccoons appears without warning deep within a forest\, it’s similarly unclear how these things are connected with me. However\, I can feel the raccoon’s existence clearly without hearing their life story. \nThe inspirations come from somewhere unknown\, are perhaps important\, might have a message from something forgotten\, something that comes and vanishes. It’s glorious to feel and accept by drawing that mystical existence. \nThey who look like code and act like cryptograph\, come from sky\, bottom of soda\, deep forest\, big city and inner space of myself\, are the visitors with sweet and free spirit\, I think.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Harie by Junko Yamada
DESCRIPTION:The CRS Gallery announces a solo exhibition by Junko Yamada of art works composed of thousands of pieces of rice paper in the tradition of harie. The exhibition will be on view from November 4\, 2011 – January 4\, 2012. \nBy applying modern subject matter and lively colors to a traditional Japanese art form\, Junko creates unique works of art on rice paper. These collages are each composed of thousands of pieces of rice paper in the tradition of harie\, a style of Japanese art. \n“Japanese artists have been using unique\, strong papers for centuries\, since the Nara period. The Japanese value paper in their art and use it in their daily lives\, as evidenced by their furniture and interior design. When working with rice paper\, the tools that I and other artists employ are the X-acto knife\, Yamato glue\, rollers\, two-sided tape\, tweezers\, safety pins\, tracing paper\, drawing pad\, and scissors.” \nJunko Yamada was born in Kyoto\, Japan. Growing up in the beach resort area of Miyazu\, a beautiful area of Japan located on the Pacific coast about two hours north of Kyoto\, she was influenced in her art by the spectacular scenery. Her academic training includes the Art Institute of Boston (1986-1988) and the Art Institute of Alexandria\, Virginia (1992-2000). It was in Boston that she realized how the natural beauty of the Japanese seashore is reflected in her vibrant colors and cheerful style. She hopes that\, like the ocean and the mountains of my childhood in Kyoto\, her work instills a sense of tranquility and inner peace\, a visual escape from everyday life. \nIntroduction to Japanese Rice Paper\nMany people consider Japanese culture as a culture of wood and paper. We consider Western culture as a culture of stone and soil. The Japanese have been using paper since the Nara period (710-793). Unfortunately\, Japanese paper can not be preserved as easily as stone or soil and is therefore more transient. We Japanese view papers as an important part of our culture\, and find ways to integrate it into our daily lives by creating our unique small galaxy of beautiful things using paper. The Fusuma (sliding door)\, Byobu (screen)\, Andon (lamp)\, and Shoji (screen door) are examples of these. Japanese paper also contributes to the roots of other Japanese art such as: Sui-boku-ga (Japanese ink drawing); Sho (calligraphy)\, and wood cut print. \nJunko’s Artistic Concept\nJunko endeavors to introduce and share aspects of Japanese life and culture through her works. She tries to work in a happy and cheerful mood. Working in great detail\, she typically uses thousands of small pieces from a wide variety of papers to complete each art piece. \nDuring her stay Japan from 1988-1991 and in subsequent visits Junko does extensive shopping for rare and hard-to-find paper throughout Japan. Additionally\, her friends in Japan occasionally send her batches of assorted sheets of paper. In recent years\, the selection of papers now available in the U.S. has seen a dramatic increase\, much to her delight. Working primarily from individual or a series of photographs as her subject\, Junko uses an X-acto knife\, Yamato glue (from Japan)\, rollers\, two-sided tape\, tweezers\, pins\, tracing paper\, pencil\, drawing pad\, a cutting pad\, and of course many types of paper to complete her works. Her subjects include Japanese and American landscapes and scenery\, as well portrait and abstract works. Most of her works are in multi-color\, while some portraits are in monochrome.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Photography by Brad Oliphant
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is thrilled to announce an exhibition of photographs by Brad Oliphant. The exhibition will take place in conjunction with the publication of Lessons in Love from A Course in Miracles: Truths and Meditations on the Legendary Text (photos and text by Brad Oliphant\, foreward by Gary R. Renard). \nAn Opening Reception\, talk/slide presentation by the artist\, and book signing will take place on Saturday\, November 8\, 2014 from 5 – 7 pm. Author and A Course in Miracles teacher Jon Mundy\, Ph.D. will also be on hand to introduce Brad’s work and sign copies of his own books! The exhibition will continue into early January 2015. \nPlease RSVP @  bradgoliphant@gmail.com\nIf you are unable to attend the event but would like to purchase one or more signed copies of Lessons in Love\, please contact Brad @ 917-664-4917.\nFor more than 40 years\, award-winning fine arts photographer Brad Oliphant has been capturing unbelievable images of the natural world. He’s also a dedicated student/teacher of A Course in Miracles\, the thousand-page treatise on spiritual enlightenment said to have been channeled directly from Christ. Now\, in this beautifully illustrated gift book\, Brad combines his two passions: the insights he has received from a higher power and his lovely\, surreal photographs. The effect of his images is haunting\, yet empowering: he seems to break through the veil of everyday appearances to reach something deeper and richer\, seemingly accessible only to a chosen few. In addition to the stunning visuals\, Lessons in Love from A Course in Miracles contains inspirational quotes\, Brad’s reflections\, and a section on addiction and recovery that includes Brad’s personal experiences. Filled with wisdom on love\, freedom from ego\, and happiness\, this is a keepsake for any student of the Course—and anyone wishing to find a new level of awareness. \nBrad Oliphant stands at the frontline of Fine Arts Photography. Highly awarded\, and hosting a smorgasbord of collections\, ranging from florals to landscapes; angelic works to macro. It was his parents gift of a Canon film camera back in 1973 that set Brad’s path in motion. Brad has over 40 years of photography experience\, which includes the fields of fashion\, commercial and nature photography. Having walked away from a 12 year fashion run some time ago\, he left with countless credits and publications which included Marie Claire\, Dolce & Gabbana\, Ink\, Flick\, La Estetica\, and Zink. His love for the trade diminished and left him questioning where to go next. Brad turned to nature and fast became aware that he had found his true love. His passion for shooting nature and fine arts have become his chosen path. Born in Dallas\, Texas\, Brad obtained his BFA from the University of North Texas; majoring in photography and with a minor in botany. Little did He know at the time that soon he would be combining the two. Shortly there after\, Brad escaped to New York City to find his place amongst the leaders in his trade and where he still happily resides. Brad’s sole objective is to help inspire others with the grace and essence of spirit that lives and breathes in nature. \nhttp://www.bradoliphantphotography.com \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Works on Paper by Lex Braes
DESCRIPTION:The CRS Gallery announces a solo exhibition by Lex Braes of works created on paper\, primarily with home-made water-based paints. The exhibition will be on view from January 27 – March 2012. \nWhat does a painter do? He paints. Every day\, in the case of Lex Braes. In this small show\, concurrent with his aptly titled exhibition\, “Routine\,” at www.showroom http://www.showroom170.com on the LES through Feb 26 \, a sampling of small works on paper from the past six years provides a window into Braes’ routine of approaching a handful of images again and again\, in some cases year after year:  a head resting sidways on an arm\, a simple architectural structure\, a face\, an abstract pattern; some days he varies the pigment\, other days the texture\, the breadth of the stroke\, the lay of the lips. While there are no self-portraits here\, and no unifying themes or motifs\, the paintings convey the commitment of the artist to the daily practice of painting\, to painting as practice\, the practice of opening oneself to see the subject\, unimpaired and unencumbered\, in the moment\, and to respond in that moment in a way that honors the truth of his subject and himself. \nHe paints what he sees\, but not in a vacuum. A well educated and cosmopolitan man\, “Intellectual rigor is essential to his work; he is inspired by everyday life\, to be sure\, but also by writing\, by the Frankfurt School\, and by the Deconstructionist movement in Paris—Derrida\, Deleuze\, Guattari\, and the like. With each painting\, Braes takes his initial subject matter—that image or thought that first grabbed his attention— and ardently deconstructs the myths that surround the image\, as well as the myths that envelop the act of painting itself. Thus he makes intellectual decisions about the work while allowing for a deeply personal improvisation to actually reinvent the canvas. And the magic of his work is that despite the deconstruction\, despite the slow accretion of image over idea\, in the finished product the story is still wholly up for grabs” (janera.com). “If you limit the idea to a product\, rather than a gem\, you lose the point\,” he explains. “I try and allow the attraction of the image to generate an open possibility of an idea\, not a closed one.” \nWhile this may sound very zen\, his painting communicates a surprising degree of passion. The repeated takes on the same subject\, day after day\, betray an ardent curiosity\, a yearning to comprehend the essence\, or range of meanings\, of his subject and its characteristics. There is a vitality in his stroke\, an unvarnished strength in his pigments\, a resolution and energy. Braes tries to avoid participating in the commercial art world\, but (or perhaps\, in part\, because of this)\, as his dealer in Germany will attest\, they sell. His paintings speak immediately to the viewer on some primitive level and are deeply pleasurable to behold\, without (or despite) being entirely understandable. We cannot identify all the thoughts and ideas that have contributed to the shaping of each of his works\, nor do we need to\, but we can sense that within his arrangements of paint resides the living thought of an engaged\, creative mind. Braes’ paintings vibrate. They demand to be contemplated\, repeatedly\, over time. \nIf you are interested in purchasing Lex’s paintings\, contact him at lexbraes@ymail.com. \n\n\n\nLex Braes was born in Glasgow\, Scotland. He studied at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art\, Dundee\, Scotland (1974-1979)\, at the Brooklyn Museum Art School (1979-1980)\, and at the University of California at San Diego under Allan Kaprow in the MFA program (1983-1984). Recent notable exhibitions include “Holding Patterns\,” Felix Ringel Galerie\, Düsseldorf (2010); “Gallery Artists\,” Flowers Gallery\, NY (2009) and “Punctuated Equilibrium\,” Michael Langen\, Feldafing\, Germany (2003). \nIn 2012 his work is included in “The Annual:  2012” at The National Academy Museum\, New York and in “Routine: Lex Braes with video work by Allan Kaprow and of Shoji Hamada” at Showroom (showroom170.com) in New York. \nBraes has been a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Undergraduate Architecture Department at Pratt Institute since 2004. He is represented by Felix Ringel Galerie\, Duesseldorf\, Germany and lives and works in Brooklyn\, NY (photo by Johan Granberg). \n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://www.lexbraes.com

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Family Diary by Mami
DESCRIPTION:Mami Family Diary\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Usually my husband works until very late every night\, and the kids and I are already bed when he comes home. I felt we didn’t have enough time to talk\, so I began keeping an illustrated diary in which I could share with him what was going on in our lives.  In this diary I would record what we did\, felt\, thought or planned for the future\, etc. When he comes home each night\, he opens the diary and receives some impression of our day and can feel closer to us. Recently\, our five-year-old son began wanting to draw in this diary and join in this communication.” — Mami \nBy sharing a glimpse of Mami’s family’s personal diary with you\, we hope you might be reminded that creativity can enrich any kind of communication or daily activity and  overcome obstacles to intimacy. Maybe you might also be inspired to use your creativity and love in some way to draw closer with the people in your lives. — CRS

Her inspiration is essentially religious and philosophical. This painting of a unicorn was created by Chiharu specifically for CRS and the beautiful frame carefully chosen to compliment it. \nThrough Chiharu Nishiyama\, we meet the tradition and spirit of the Orient\, and witness a more original\, formative revival. The natural features of Japan that she depicts are neither mere scenery\, people\, nor buildings. They are imbued with the very breath of the spirit and gods that give life to the hearts and minds of the Japanese.\n— from Paul Ambile’s profile of Nishimura for Art Maison International \nBorn in Tokyo\, Japan\, Chiharu majored in acrylic painting. Her work has won numerous awards including the Joan of Arc Glory Prize at the International Art Festival 2004 Chateau de Blois\, the Côte d’Azur International Art Award at the 2004 Cannes International Arts Festival\, the Avignon Festival award in 2004\, the International Art Exhibition of Contemporary Art Achievement Award 2005\, the Award OASISU International 2006 from Malta Tourism Minister Francis Zammit-Dimetchi\, III Prize exhibition at the Auditorium Maurice label Arts Festival Japan 2007 Monaco from Rainier III of Monaco\, and Winner Le Salon in 2001 2002\, 2003\, 2005\, 2006. She is an officially recognized painter A.M.S.C. 2005\, a Spanish National Prado Museum Foundation member in 2005\, and a Japan International Artists Association member JIAS 2007. \nhttp://nishiyama-chiharu.com \n  \n稲田美織 / Miori Inata \nMiori Inata’s photographs have been exhibited widely at galleries in Japan as well as in NY\, NJ\, and Israel. Her work appears in the Harvard University Fidelity Photography Collection and has been published by Random House – Kodansha and by Vogue Japan. She has a B.A. in Art specializing in oil painting and printing from Tama Art University of Tokyo\, Japan and later attended the Southampton College L.I.U. Photography Workshop. \nI take pictures to capture a moment of beauty. I like to take photographs of an object as it appears at the moment. I want to preserve a particular moment\, a moment that will never happen again in exactly the same way. This idea comes from the Japanese “Chado” (the tea ceremony) — the idea that weather\, light\, season and time are changing all the time. All things exist by chance\, yet I believe that they are connected to each other by inevitable coincidences. Therefore\, I appreciate the fact that I can be present at that moment. I have also traveled extensively throughout the world expanding my awareness and catching moments of particular light in different settings. Wherever I travel\, the world in my photography is very quiet and peaceful. I hope people will love the earth more with my photos of the beauty in the world. — Miori Inata \nhttps://www.facebook.com/MioriInata \n  \n梨子田 まゆみ / Mayumi Nashida \nMayumi Nashida is a professional photographer based in NYC since 1993.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: The Butterfly People — Photographs by Katherine Abegg
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is delighted to announce an exhibition of color photographs of the Samburu people of Kenya and their surroundings\, taken by artist Katherine Abegg. Kenya may conjure images of breathtaking vistas of forest and savannah framed by towering mountains and those are on display here\, but what truly takes one’s breath away here is the people. The openness of heart and spirit between photographer and subject is the subject of this collection. \nPlease join us for a Closing Reception with artist Katherine Abegg on Friday\, May 3\, 2013 from 7:40 – 9 pm. We need to raise an additional $625 to send one Samburo child to school next year. \nThere will be an Opening Reception with the artist on Saturday\, March 2\, 2013 from 6 – 8 pm. The exhibition will continue through May 3\, and proceeds from sales of the prints will go toward a scholarship fund to send one Samburo child to secondary school. \nAbout Katherine Abegg \nKatherine has been studying and teaching A Course In Miracles with CRS for 7 years. Through the study of ACIM\, she has learned to cultivate a creative life and to explore the world with greater courage and presence of mind. As an actor\, Katherine has performed in short films and in performance art pieces. She has worked in fashion and millinery for several years\, developing fabrics and making headpieces. She has recently ventured into the world of photography and is thrilled to have her first exhibition at CRS. More…. \n  \nSerien! \nThat’s Samburu for “hello.” As many of you know\, I had the opportunity to travel to Kenya last fall. I was travelling with my dear friend Linda\, who introduced me to the Samburu people. For two weeks we stayed in the village of N’Donyo Wasin\, which is several hours away from cell phone reception\, ATM machines and hot showers. We pitched tents in a downpour\, dined with (and inadvertently on) huge quantities of bugs\, quenched our thirst with warm beer and danced under the vast night sky. \nEach day was like an era\, each minute diffused into hours by the equatorial sun. But the days were full as we read with the schoolchildren\, ventured to the outlying villages and cooked with the warriors. The Samburu people were unabashedly open and welcoming. I was immediately hooked. Their stoicism\, their dignity\, their innocence and lack of cynicism were deeply impressive and humbling. \n— Katherine Abegg

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Miracle Kototama Art — Calligraphy by Shisui
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is delighted to announce an exhibition of calligraphy by Tokyo-based artist Shisui. The exhibition will open on May 18 and run for eight weeks. A closing reception with the artist will be held on Saturday\, July 13\, 2013 from 4 – 6 pm. \nIn ancient Japan it was believed that words held a secret\, mysterious power. When uttered\, the sound of these words would vibrationally impact the world beyond the impact of the meaning of the word. The word for this was kototama. Likewise\, certain kanji\, or Japanese word symbols\, were also thought to possess a power to affect the world by emitting a kind of vibration or energy. In her work\, Shisui seeks to discover calligraphic shapes that\, despite appearing abstract or unfamilar in shape\, emit this kind of vibration and are recognizable by the miraculous healing power they possess and the positive feelings they provoke. \nAbout Shisui \nShisui’s art has most recently appeared in the famous spiritual magazine “Yugahul.” \nAlso in 2013\, her work was included in the book Anatanimmo kototama no kiseki ga segue okiru by Mr Sakuraba Masahumi and in the web magazine TrinityWeb. \nLast year\, she appeared on the popular web programs \nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGOwCjhxKbI&feature=relmfu \nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=d0t1-T5A1AM \n★Shisui Web Site\nhttp://miraclekototamart.jp/index.htm \n★Shisui Blog\nhttp://ameblo.jp/miraclekototamart/ \nArtist Statement \nI felt in the days of my childhood that human beings were connected by their subconscious but that as we became socialized\, we were brainwashed by llusion and forgot that we all are beings that are splendid with perfection. As an adult\, I worked for more than ten years as a web designer and director\, but gradually I came to think that I’d like to express through my art work that “The soul of all people is beautiful and life is a trip of returning to love(= God).” And then I came across the Japanese ancient letters. So I’ve started my work. I hope my arts are useful for your happiness. — Shisui

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Thinking Forward
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is delighted to announce an exhibition of photographs taken in Bangladesh by Misako Ono and in Ethiopia by Emily Piper documenting specific actions this generation is taking to make the world better for the next. Photographs documenting some of the women depicted in the documentary HALF THE SKY are also included as well as photos of some of the girls who have received educational assistance from HALF THE SKY featured NGO Room to Read. The exhibition opened on August 3 and will close on August 29\, 2013. An Opening Reception with the photograpers and light refreshments was held on Saturday\, August 3\, 2013 from 6 – 7:30 pm. \nAny profits from the sale of the photographs will be donated to the Eleshu Kellensoo Mokonissa Primary School Library in Kellensoo\, Ethiopia\, which has been funded by Think Coffee and its partners Nardos Exports & The Bushwick Seed Company. In conjunction with the exhibition HALF THE SKY will be screened at CRS on August 10 from 2:30 – 7 pm. \nAbout Photographer Misako Ono \nMisako’s interest in photography began in her freshmen year of high school when she took a digital photography class. Finding passion in capturing the life around her and sharing it with others\, she furthered her learning by taking pre-college courses at Rhode Island School of Design and Pratt Institute. She is now a rising junior at Tufts University\, studying Sociology and Mass Communications while taking photographs for the campus daily newspaper and publications. This past year\, she focused on multimedia storytelling in the Program for Narrative and Documentary Practices at Tufts taught by photojournalists Gary Knight and Samuel James. Using multimedia as a platform to look at social issues\, she completed a project documenting the story of a homebirth midwife working in the Boston area\, bringing attention to this alternative process of birth. At the end of the year\, the program took her on a workshop to Dhaka\, Bangladesh\, where she created a photo essay about a mother living in the slums of the megacity. The camera is a tool for her to connect with the people she captures and to understand the world. Misako would like to keep pursuing and developing skills to become a documentary photographer. \nMisako Ono Artist Statement: \nShortly after I picked up a camera for the first time\, photography became my alternative mode of communication. It provided a creative connection that soothed and stimulated my shy nature. English was my second language\, yet sharing my photography enabled me to open up and navigate my adolescent years. My studies in college piqued an interest in social justice\, at which point I turned to predominantly documentary photography. Upon discovering the power of visual language\, I decided I wanted my photographs to tell stories and provide voices to those who are either silenced or too quiet to be heard. At the end of my sophomore year\, I was given the opportunity to travel to Bangladesh and create a documentary photo project of my choice. I chose to chronicle a housewife for my project because this single woman represents a vast population of women with every valid reason to speak up but no ability to do so. With my photos\, I hope to provide an honest look into a world that deserves awareness and a platform for people to connect and bring change to the issues. \nAbout Photographer Emily Piper \nEmily Piper recently graduated from NYU with a Master’s in Food Systems. She traveled with Think Coffee to Peru and Ethiopia to discover more about the people and places that create our coffee. Emily will soon begin her first year as a middle school teacher in Miami\, Florida\, where she will work to include food production and consumption in her science classes.\nAbout Think Coffee \nThink Coffee is a New York-based coffee company that has bought coffee from the Kellensoo region in the past. For the past several years\, Think Coffee has been an outstanding neighbor to CRS\, contributing to the cost of our renovation in 2010 and never failing to act in a thoughtful and neighborly fashion. We are delighted to have this opportunity to collaborate with them on a project dear to their hearts and ours. \nAbout Room to Read \nWe envision a world in which all children can pursue a quality education\, reach their full potential and contribute to their community and the world. \nTo achieve this goal\, we focus on two areas where we believe we can have the greatest impact: literacy and gender equality in education.  We work in collaboration with communities and local governments across Asia and Africa to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children\, and support girls to complete secondary school with the life skills they’ll need to succeed in school and beyond.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Portraits by Yoko Kiuchi
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is honored to announce an exhibition of recent works by Shanghai-based Japanese artist Yoko Kiuchi from November 10 –  30\, 2013. The exhibition consists of six painted portraits (“What Color Is Your Self?”) in primarily water-based paints such as gouche with colorful floral backgrounds as well as an installation of a dress (“Rebirth”) decorated with various natural matererials such as feathers\, leaves\, paper\, cotton and lace. \nAn Opening Reception with the artist will be held Sunday\, November 10\, 2013 from 4:30 – 6:30 pm. \nEach portrait expresses the colors of each person’s world. The background color reflects that person’s life until now. The butterfly and flower represent their will and thought. Particularly\, rose is a kind of flower that stands for a person’s intent. Butterfly symbolizes their thought from their individual life experiences. \nBy using a set of designed paper napkins and Japanese Origami including Chiyogami and Japanese rice paper (Washi)\, Kiuchi created each person’s distinctive look\, their unique inner beauty. The images of the flowers are created by cutting the shapes from different designer paper napkins. However\, the colors that she picked for the paintings were her own inspirations. \nThe dress installation reflects that the artist is a part of nature’s circle\, a cycle of rebirth\, as one among other various colors. The color of the dress itself represents natural light. The deocrations represent so many of the colors that people express and experience throughout their lives. \nAbout Yoko Kiuchi \nYoko Kiuchi studied Graphic Design at Pratt Institute of Technology in NY and worked as a graphic designer for a few years before realizing that graphic design was not what she wanted to do with her life. She became more interested in fine arts and therefore decided to enter the distant learning program in fine art at Musashino Art University\, in Tokyo. \nYoko Kiuchi’s Artist Statement: \nI have lived in Tokyo\, NY and currently live in Shanghai. Though I have experienced differences in race\, religion and culture in the countries I have lived\, I realize that art is universal and can be shared by people all over the world. My intuition is guiding my work and my art is expressed in colors combined with natural materials. \nMy art work was inspired by the actual people I used as my models in my paintings. I believe that the life style of others can inspire us\, and by borrowing elements from that life style while making some personal adjustments to them\, we can then create a new life style that is unique and best for ourselves. By showing the colors of each person’s life\, I allow the viewers to get a sense of their life. I used to be intimidated by their strong artistic will. However\, by using them as my subjects in my paintings\, I was able to discover my own hidden desires and interests in my life. \nEach of my models has wonderful love in his or her heart. They love looking at the bright side of their lives and enjoy life itself a lot. Their life style attracts me very much because I feel something in common through the various stages of my life as a housewife who took care of her father who had severe dementia\, as a professional photographer raising a baby\, and as an artist who performed at refugee camps in the Congo and many other places in  Europe\, Asia\, and South America…. \nThere is a variety of beautiful colors all around us.\nEveryone in this world is working in your favor.\nPeople inhale and then exhale again.\nEveryone has likes and dislikes.\nAll people radiate a splendid color of themselves.\nPlease enjoy your life with many colors coming from all different experiences.\nMany thanks to my husband\, Kai for all his time and help. I would also like to thank Yasuko\, Christopher\, Aya and all CRS members for offering me the opportunity to have a solo show in CRS\, NY. Thank you very much for seeing my show.\nWith Love\,\nYoko Kiuchi \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition: LIGHT — Paintings by Aoi Nakamura
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is delighted to announce LIGHT\, an exhibition of paintings by Japan-based painter and pottery artist Aoi Nakamura from December 8 –  22\, 2013. The exhibition consists of 15 abstract and semi-abstract works in acrylic on canvas. \nIn lieu of an opening reception\, we invite everyone to meet the artist at the CRS Holiday Reception on Saturday\, Dec 14 from 8:30 – 10 pm ($15 at the door). \nABOUT LIGHT \n“Motherly soft light in nature\, beautiful shine\, dynamic and powerful energy\, lights lying in the deep human soul\, lights that come from the unconscious mind — those are the things I would like to express in my paintings. \n“Today\, we face many problems\, hardships\, agonies and conflicts both on a social and personal level but\, whatever those things are\, I believe that there always are rays of hope. When I paint\, I always try to look into an image that comes from my unconscious mind and have such rays of light spread out in my work.” — Aoi Nakamura \nAoi Nakamura‘s Artist Statement: \n“My work expresses the power of nature\, the force of life\, flow of energy\, dynamism of nature and human sub-consciousness. My inspiration for art comes from such individuals as Haruki Murakami\, Carl Gustav Jung\, Claude Dsbussy\, and Kenji Miyazawa\, and also from dreams and fantasies. Interplay of Eastern and Western philosophies are also reflected in my paintings. \n“My experiences as a professional acupuncturist and oriental herbal medicine pharmacist practitioner for over ten years has also influenced my art. Through diagnosing many patients\, I often realize that many of them tend to resort to quick and instant recovery through western medicine and forget to pay attention to the power of natural healing that each individual originally has. When they recover through my acupuncture session\, they often seem to remember the power of life force and enter into what Jung refers to as “an individuation process and avhieve personal wholeness.” I hope that\, through my art\, people can feel and sense such power of natural healing.” \n— Aoi Nakamura \nAbout Aoi Nakamura \nAoi studied abstract painting at “The Art Students League of New York\, NY” and “Durham Arts Council\, NC”.  She graduated from Mimbi-Attached Institutes of Japan Art Association\, Tokyo Japan. Her paintings were displayed at such exhibitions as ”Salon des Artistes Independants in Japan” (Society of Independent Artists) and Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum Student Exhibition (Ueno\, Tokyo). \nAfter engaging in her creative activity at an atelie in Kamakura (a historic town near Tokyo)\, she has moved to NY\, where she focuses on abstract paintings. \nAoi is a licensed acupuncturist as well as herbal medicine practitioner. \nhttp://aoinakamura.com\ne-mail:  aoinyart@gmail.com

The exhibition has been arranged to coincide with a free Human Trafficking Awareness Day Program taking place on January 11\, 2014 at CRS from 4 – 9 pm featuring two film screenings and a panel discussion. The photographs will remain on view from Jan 11 – 31\, 2014. \nPlease take this opportunity and direct your attention to SocialDocumentary.net\, which highlights work by photographers around the world shedding light on the tragedy of trafficking. \nRomania and Moldova are beautiful countries with an ugly problem. Every year\, thousands of women\, men and children are trafficked outside and within the borders for sex and forced labor. \nIn many cases\, children and young adults turn to the streets to escape harsh conditions at overrun orphanages or domestic abuse at home. Those affected by trafficking are often exploited by the ones closest to them: a family member\, a partner\, a lover. Psychological manipulation\, coercion\, and physical violence form the basis for a majority of these stories. \nHuman trafficking is rooted in various systems of oppression. Hearing these stories\, it is impossible to understand and address human trafficking without addressing broader socio-economic realities\, gender inequality\, domestic violence\, corruption\, racism\, and poverty. \nAWHERENESS is a collaboration with trafficked survivors to trace their stories and expose the places that enable trafficking. Trafficking is pervasive\, making it hard to detect. It takes on many different forms\, often in the most mundane places: at home\, parks\, transportation hubs\, cafes\, and beyond. \nArtist Statement \nAWHERENESS the project grew out of conversations and focused research between close friend and collaborator Patricia Chabvepi\, a Romanian human rights activist and myself nearly two years ago. \nTrafficking in Romania has swelled since 1989\, with the end of communism. Upon joining the European Union in 2007\, Romania relaxed its border patrol measures\, making free flow of both goods and people easier across borders. However\, as the country’s economy is also improving\, internal trafficking is also gaining traction. The situation is even more critical in Moldova due to the rise of orphanages amidst a struggling economy and lack of employment opportunities in the country. Most people in Moldova want to live and work abroad\, which makes the trafficking of human beings a perversely easy endeavor. Moldova is the poorest nation of Europe\, with a large percentage of its children growing up in state institutions\, not necessarily because they are orphans\, but because their parents do not have the means to raise them. \nMy first exposure to the problem of human trafficking was through a number of awareness raising campaigns\, seminars\, reports and articles. Being from Romania\, Patricia had been aware for years of Romanian young women being tricked into prostitution abroad\, but only vaguely considered what this really meant and what exactly drove them to these jobs abroad as “waitresses” and “dancers.” During a volunteer opportunity with a New York-based organization that works with victims of domestic abuse\, Patricia confronted the reality that domestic abuse and trafficking often go hand in hand. \nHuman trafficking is a cunning beast that takes on various and evolving forms as result of underlying systems of oppression. Hearing these stories\, it is impossible to understand and address human trafficking without addressing the broader socio-economic realities\, gender inequality\, domestic violence\, racism\, and poverty. \nTrafficking today has a much more ambiguous and deceptive appearance\, thus making it harder to expose. What happens now is often done under the cover of legality\, with proper paperwork and even some portion of consent. This makes law enforcement particularly difficult\, as does corruption. \nTrafficking stories are personal. My hope is that these images would invite the viewer to contemplate more deeply the problem of human trafficking and to gain an “awhereness” of the context in which trafficking is born and bred through the personal stories of survivors. \n— Annie Ling\, http://annielingphoto.com @lingphoto \nAbout Annie Ling \nBorn in Taipei\, Annie is a Canadian artist and documentary photographer currently based in Brooklyn\, New York. \nSelect clients include The New York Times and The New York Times Magazine\, GEO Magazine (Germany)\, Courrier International (France)\, FADER Magazine\, and New York Magazine. \nHer photography has been featured in publications such as PDN Photo Annual\, American Photography 27\, Magenta Flash Forward: Emerging Photographers\, Monthly Photography\, and The Forward\, among others. \nHer work is exhibited and collected internationally. Most recently\, her work has been exhibited in Germany (Lumix Photo Festival)\, South Korea (Gwanju Biennale)\, Finland (NYPH Awards)\, Hungary (Budapest Photo Festival)\, Canada (Magenta Flash Forward)\, and throughout the USA in Maine\, Boston\, and currently in New York City (“A Floating Population” at MOCA). \nAnnie is currently a fellow of Reflexions Masterclass\, a laboratory investigating the evolution of the language of visual representation and photography.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Marvin's 3rd Eye Paintings
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is delighted to announce the exhibition of a series of 3rd eye paintings by Marvin Rosenberg. Marvin appears to be peaceful and calm at all times\, and he conveys this experience of timeless peace through his paintings. An Opening Reception with the artist will be held Saturday\, Feb 8 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm. \nThe spareness of the compositions suggests that the distractions of the world of perception have been largely stripped away\, encouraging us to focus on our awareness of our own consciousness. His vivid use of color and the roundness of his subjects’ eyes communicate joy and wakeful presence\, allowing us to let go of our own thoughts and say yes to bliss. The paintings will remain on view from Feb 8 – March 4\, 2014\, and you can experience the peace of Marvin in person at his Gentle Yoga classes every Tuesday & Thursday from 5:30 – 6:30 pm at CRS. \nArtist Statement \n“I am trying to express something higher\, \nsome state of intuition\, some state of realization\, \nan atmosphere we can all enter\, \nof calmness\, of wideness. \nA place where we can experience the delight of being.” \nAbout Marvin Rosenberg \nMarvin Rosenberg was born in New York City.  As a teenager he started to draw and paint. When he was 21\, he met a man who greatly influenced the course of his life\, named Sam Spanier. Sam was a successful artist who started an ashram based upon the teachings of the Indian mystic Sri Aurobindo. It was Sam who introduced Marvin to Yoga and Meditation and encouraged him to continue painting and pursue all the aspects of his being. He studied Modern Dance and choreography\, performing and presenting his own work in NYC. He studied Hatha Yoga and was asked to teach a basic yoga class\, which became known as Gentle Yoga. He has been teaching gentle yoga for the past 20 years and currently teaches this class at CRS every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 – 6:30 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  3.11 Portrait Project — 3/6 – 5/8/14
DESCRIPTION:In observance of the third anniverary of the Great Eastern Japan earthquake\, tsunami and ongoing nuclear disaster on 3/11\, CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is honored to bring the 3.11 Portrait Project to New York City for the first time. A selection of the photographs and accompanying installation\, which have previously been exhibited in Canada\, Finland and elsewhere\, will remain on view from March 6 – April 30\, 2014. \nThe 3.11 Portrait Project is a project supporting Great Eastern Japan Earthquake recovery with the participation of photographers from different fields\, hair & makeup artists\, models\, and local NPOs. Some of the members went to Tohoku in early April 2011 to take news photos and to volunteer with different organizations. Staggered by the desolation they found\, some of them realized that they wanted\, needed to do something\, for themselves and for the residents of Tohoku\, more positive and healing than simply documenting the destruction and loss. \nFinding that so many families had lost all of their photos of their loved ones\, photographer Nobuyuki Kobayashi and his colleagues realized they could work together with hair and makeup artists to take new portraits of the survivors. The portraits are then sent to Japanese schoolchildren in non-disaster regions\, who frame the portraits and send them back to the survivors along with personal messages of support. \nAbout the Project\nThe 3.11 Portrait Project is a project supporting Great Eastern Japan Earthquake recovery with the participation of photographers from different fields\, hair & makeup artists\, models\, and local NPOs. Some of the members went to Tohoku in early April 2011 to take news photos and to volunteer with different organizations. What they witnessed – people who had shutdown emotionally from suffering opening up a little each time a shutter was pressed. People overcome with joy over photographs they picked up out of the dirt. Middle-aged women who seemed to brightly laugh off even unprecedented hardship. The photographers and volunteers who witnessed this asked their colleagues\, “Will you work with us to shoot photographs of the victims?” \nThey have only one goal. “We want those who have lost everything to find even a little courage and hope\, to find the momentum to take a step toward the future. We want to help them do this.”\nThe members usually work in different arenas — some in advertising and others in magazines — and have different styles. They reveal their individuality against a common white backdrop. The only things present there are the feelings of the subject and the person taking the photograph. They feel that photography’s intrinsic “preservation” and “communication” functions will prevent this disaster from being forgotten\, and that photography moves people and has the power to change grief into smiles. And in front of them\, the photographers have the optimistic\, I’m-not going-to-let-this-beat-me attitude of the people who have come forward to be their subjects. We would like others to experience their spirit so we ask that you introduce the project in your media.\nStatement \nThe devastation caused by the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake is widely known\, but we started going to disaster areas almost two months after it occurred. When we rethought what the role of photography should be in this situation\, we came up with one answer. To take authentic portraits\, which are clearly different from news photographs\, and to leave a record. \nAlthough the subjects vary in number between individuals\, families\, and groups\, we thought that having talented photographers come together as an organization to leave portraits and communicate with the next generation was a very meaningful way to support not only earthquake victims\, but the “emotional recovery” of local communities and Japan as a country. \nThe damage left in the wake of this unprecedented earthquake far exceeds anything that we imagined. It is impossible to imagine the physical and mental pain of the victims. In light of people’s difficulty facing harsh realities\, taking portraits in this situation is not an easy thing. But people must move past difficulty to go forward. We thought that rather than shutting away the feelings they had after the earthquake and the deep sadness that they couldn’t put into words\, releasing these feelings would give them a foothold to tomorrow and to recovery. \nAs photographers\, we believe our mission is to support each of the victim’s next steps by taking their portraits. \nWe had the rare opportunity to go to the disaster areas several times to take portraits. During shoots\, we saw earthquake victims who had shutdown emotionally open up little by little\, and have had people say wonderful things after shoots like “I want to make this an opportunity to move forward positively with my life\,” and “I’m glad I had my picture taken. It cheered me up.” \nThese moments confirmed for us that they were able to find some sense of closure on their post-earthquake feelings by having their photographs taken and that their portraits gave them the momentum to take a step toward the future. And we realized that we ourselves\, through sharing the victims’ feelings in some way\, were greatly encouraged and deeply comforted. \nThis activity also revealed a crucial fact. Photographers at local photo studios play an important role for families and local communities. People told us things like “We went to the photo studio a lot before the earthquake\,” “I would take the kids to the studio whenever there was a special occasion\,” and “All those photographs were washed away.” These photographers themselves were severely impacted. We are providing all of our services for free\, but we are mindful of not interfering with the future recovery efforts of local photographers and hope that this project helps with future economic activities. For this reason also\, we would like many photographers\, including those from local photo studios\, to participate in this project and as many people and companies as possible to cooperate with and support the project so that we can shoot according to the requests of the victims and help prepare the environment for economic recovery. \nWe continue to believe that photography’s intrinsic “preservation” and “communication” functions will prevent this disaster from being forgotten and that photography moves people and has the power to change grief into smiles.\n— 3.11 Portrait Project Executive Committee

SUMMARY:Exhibition: New Flowers — Paintings by Robin Ann Meyer and Rie Nishimura
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents NEW FLOWERS\, an exhibition of recent paintings by Robin Ann Meyer and Rie Nishimura. There will be an Closing Reception on Saturday\, June 28\, 2014 from 7 – 8:30 pm with a short\, live painting demonstration of their technqiues from 7 – 7:30 pm. \nPerformance 7pm-7:30pm (Door open 6:30pm)\nDjembe: Umeda Hirotoshi\,\nSinger: Mayu Toyama\nAdmission: Free \nCRS patrons will recall Ms. Nishimura’s 2012 exhibition at CRS of colorful abstract paintings inspired by the sea. Her newest paintings continue her method of finishing her canvases in one session but now she paints with her bare hands\, resulting in more dynamically complex and energetic compositions. Ms. Meyer\, by contrast\, has painted the works in this show while holding her brush with her feet. Each strives to use her entire body in the painting process and arrive at an organic and intuitive representation of her feeling in the moment. \nABOUT ROBIN ANN MEYER \nRobin grew up in Rochester\, NY. She demonstrated interest/ability in visual arts from a young age. She left her hometown and her native country to further her arts education\, receiving both a BA and MFA from highly respected European institutions. Currently\, she works as a textile artist and painter in NYC. The patenting technique she has developed requires complete concentration and acceptance. She finds constant depth and growth inside her self-imposed boundaries\, which make her feel all the more connected to the work.\nhttp://www.robinannmeyer.com/ \nEducation: \nMFA in Fine Art/ Universidad Complutense de MadridSpain: 2006 BA (Hons) Design/ University College Falmouth\, England: 2003-2006 \nGroup Exhibitions: \nArt Students League Gallery (NY\, NY) : January 2014\nArt Students League Gallery (NY\, NY) : May 2013\nDreams ( Monroe Art Center\, Hoboken\, NJ) : October 2011 New Blood (Islington\, London) : June 2006\nNew Designers (Islington\, London) : July 2006 \nAwards and Recognition: \nArt Students League Blue Dot 2014\nArt Students League Blue Dot 2013\nUniversidad Complutense International Scholarship 2006 University College Falmouth International Scholarship 2003 \n  \nABOUT RIE NISHIMURA \nRie was born in Tokyo\, graduated from the Department of Spatial Design\, Musashino Art University.

In 2010\, she started a performance art\, which is the combination of dancing and painting to capture her feelings in the moment. She creates a unique atmosphere\, allowing her to share time\, space\, and experience with others.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Haruko BlueStarChild
DESCRIPTION:CRS welcomes Sedona-based Japanese artist HA-RU-KO BlueStarChild for a three-day exhibition August 22 – 24\, 2014 (10am – 6 pm Friday and Saturday\, 1 – 5 pm Sunday) with daily slide show presentation and talk by the artist from 2 – 3 pm. HA-RU-KO is a multi dimensional artist\, designer\, performer\, and author. In 1999 she started to receive inspirations from the Light Realm. She consciously merges with the Source (Creator) and Mother Earth and co-creates our ultimate dream to bring joy\, peace\, and harmony on the Earth through her artistic creations. \nDuring the daily talks\, she will describe how she started to receive inspiration from the Light Realm and show slides of many of her older artworks to show how her process and artwork evolved and also what she has been learning from them. So many messages come through from the drawings. \nABOUT HA-RU-KO BLUESTARCHILD \nHer art introduces many other realms such as Ascended Masters\, ArchAngels & Angels\, Fairies\, Nature Elementals\, ETs\, and other Universes. Also her art depicts the future and possibility of the world we are to create. Her artwork seems to awaken deep soul memories in each individual. They remind us of the true essence of our beauty\, purity\, innocence and magnificence of who we truly are. She works closely with ArchAngels and Angels\, so her drawings bring healing into the hearts and souls of many people. \nHer drawings are done all by free-hand and her creations range from Free-Flow Sacred Geometry\, Ancient Divine codes\, Original Essence Portraits\, Angelic Healing Art\, Cosmic Maps and Scenery\, and Beings in other dimensions. \nwww.BlueStarChild.com\nARTIST STATEMENT \nIn 1999 I started to draw with the assistance of the full moon. It is hard to explain\, but the full moon created such a mood that I was all of a sudden inspired to draw rabbits. This continued to happen on many moons. Many rabbits kept on appearing on my sketchbook for many months. \nAccording to a Japanese folk tale\, rabbits live on the moon making rice cakes to bring us prosperity. Perhaps they came down from the moon to share their wisdom with me. They gently and slowly introduced me to a spirit world so that I would not be afraid. \nAfter years of drawing\, the rabbits began to appear less frequently and they transformed into a sacred-looking beings in disguise of rabbit-like forms.  Although they looked cute and innocent\, they embodied power and dignity.  Also the drawings became more structural and complex\, like what we call a Sacred Geometry but my drawings are in much more free form.  Moreover\, I started to be introduced to other dimensions\, such as Nature kingdom\, Angelic kingdom\, ET world\, Realm of Light and Masters\, and other Universes. \nThrough drawing\, I began to understand that our imagination is connected with the source of Creation (God if you may call)\, I didn’t even believe in God\, when I started to draw. I thought that angels and fairies and ETs are just a fantasy. Through my drawings\, I can experience and remember their world\, and I can feel their presence as real as seeing them. Through my drawings\, my soul memories started to be awakened\, and I can feel all those presence in my heart\, and they became more and more real to me\, and I have been learning a precious wisdom from the spirit world through my drawings. \nMy drawings are all done by free-hand and the sizes are as large as 8 feet tall or 10 feet in width. \nI would like to introduce the multi-dimensional worlds through my artwork and allow the audience to journey through each of them and receive the energies and activations within our soul to awaken our soul and to remember who truly are. They are gifts from our Creator which happened to flow through my hand\, and so my intention is to share to people as much as I can by traveling the world.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Atonement – Aganai — Ceramic Sculpture by Miyu Asakawa
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is delighted to announce ATONEMENT – AGANAI\, an exhibition of ragu-fired stoneware by artist Miyu Asakawa. The ceramic masks and heads in this exhibition are inspired by actual events in the artist’s life. Each mask represents a feeling Miyu had at a particular moment in time\, phases in her life\, or in a relationship. All of the masks were cast of her own face or that of friends or family. \nAsakawa has been studying A Course in Miracles and was also inspired in her recent work by the Course’s re-conception of atonement as meaning to be “healed” by re-connecting with one’s inner truth (realizing that sin always was and is impossible and that we are always already perfect\, as God created us.) So\, even though these masks express the ego’s vulnerability and the scars of drama/trauma\, she wants to use this process of psychic excavation to reach something changeless below the surface\, to recover her own sense of strength and grace. \nAn Opening Reception with the artist will be held on Saturday\, September 13\, 2014 from 5 – 7 pm. Following the reception\, please join us for a screening of the lyrical and profound Dutch-Japanese documentary film “Water Children.” \nMiyu Asakawa was born in Fukuoka\, Japan and moved to New York in 1998. She has been working in ceramics for the last seven years. Most of the pieces in this exhibit are made in the Raku method\, which is a particular method of glazing and firing clay. In Raku\, the glaze of every piece comes out completely different\, even if it started out identical on two separate pieces. She has previously had exhibitions in NY at Art on A in Manhattan and at Roux Roux in Brooklyn.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: "流転-RUTEN-" by Yasuka Matsumoto
DESCRIPTION:CRS is honored to present a brief exhibition of works by Yasuka Matsumoto of Japan from April 17 – 20\, 2015. The works that Ms. Matsumoto will be sharing all reference the Japanese traditional method of making iron and steel\, called Tatara\, using charcoal created from the burning of wood. \n〜 A story of small iron 〜 \nTrees in the forest are transformed into iron and steel by human’s hand. That process can be said to concentrate a large forest into small metallic objects. These objects carry the memory of having existed as trees in the forest. When a metal object closes its eyes\, it see images and remembers the memory of this past it carries within. The object misses living in the forest and eventually returns there as it rusts and is scattered and carried back to the soil and is finally re-absorbed by the trees and other vegetation. \nProfile of Yasuka Matsumoto \nI studied sculpture at Tama Art University and experienced using various materials. I was fascinated by the beauty of the original state of each material. Since every material is perfect as it is\, I always wanted to use materials in their original condition. Since then\, when I create my artwork\, I always cherish the original condition of materials and try to be guided by the ways that they are already being transformed by nature and traditional human-directed processes. It is my hope that you will be able to enjoy the objects that I exhibit as both raw materials\, interesting for their own inherent natural properties\, and as works carefully shaped by an artist to draw attention to certain processes and ideas\, to provoke various questions and to enrich the experience of sharing space and time with the object and its journey. \nhttp://yasukamatsumoto.com \nYasuka Matsumoto graduated from Tama Art University in 2009. This is her first exhibition in New York. She has participated in the following group exhibitions in Japan: \n2011 Art Festival at Tama Art University\n2010 Art Festival at Tama Art University\n2010 Wooden Sculpture Class Exhibition at Tama Art University\n2009 Tama Art University Sculpture Exhibition\n2007 Graduation Show at Hachioji High School Art Course Specialization

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Rhythm of Color by Brian Potter
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to announce “Rhythm of Color\,” an exhibition of paintings by Brian Potter. In this series of paintings\, Mr. Potter uses lines and planes of color\, usually very chromatic\, in rhythmic combinations. Sometimes these planes overlap\, creating a sense of implied depth and mystery. Generally\, the colors pulsate foward\, generating a playful energy. There is a balance struck between the emotional content of color association\, and the intellectual qualities of hard edge painting. \nAn Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Saturday\, April 25\, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm. The exhibition will remain on display through the end of May. \nDuring the opening reception\, from 6:30 – 7 pm\, there will be a live art happening organized by CRS Gallery Director Rie Nishimura and painter Robin Ann Meyer. The event celebrates the somatic nature of painting\, allowing the audience to experience the roles that kinetic energy and physical abilities/limitations play in the creative process. Moving dynamically around a large shared canvas\, Ms. Nishimura will paint with her bare hands while Ms. Meyer will paint holding her brush with her feet. \nArtist Statement \nI see abstract art as having almost limitless possibilities—and my plan is to explore these possibilities as thoroughly as possible. While it is usual for most artists to find a style and then refine it through variations\, I hope to reference or create as many abstract styles as possible—in order to create a strong coherent range. To me this has something to do with the essence of abstraction—to distill essences as the basis for imagery and to experiment with these essential qualities in different combinations; the results can lead down different paths\, and one of my challenges is integrating these paths wherever possible. In time\, through experience along these lines\, I hope to invent much new imagery and expand upon my ideas. Ideas are very important to me.  Once I establish an idea in a painting\, I try to move forward and build on this idea—perhaps adding more ideas or shifting along dimensional lines. This allows my painting to evolve organically and spontaneously. I prefer this\, rather than following a plan from beginning to end. \nUltimately\, I hope to tell my story of abstract visual thought\, which explores ideas and their expression. Some of the issues explored are: structure\, shape\, space\, design\, proportion\, color\, texture\, sensuality\, and paint itself. I have had many exhibitions in shows\, galleries\, and museums\, across the United States.

SUMMARY:Inner Vision Workout:  Practice Receiving Spiritual Guidance Using Principles of ACIM
DESCRIPTION:Let’s practice receiving and sharing spiritual guidance from the voice of love inside our minds.\nApproximate Schedule:\n7 – 7:20 pm     Guided Meditation\n7:20 – 8 pm     Spiritual Healing / Practice Receiving Spiritual Guidance\n8 – 8:30 pm     Discussion\nThere is a suggested donation of $20. \nOur primary goal is to learn to recognize the voice of love’s guidance that is always available to us — but which we usually block out! Slowly\, we will re-train our eyes to see the world around us as one that is always presenting opportunities for us to give and receive love. The more you practice\, the easier this becomes. In time\, it can even become your habit. \nFeel free to bring in specific issues that you would like to receive guidance about. The more honest and open you can be about what you think you need help with\, the quicker you can learn to remove these apparent obstacles to your happiness and experience limitless joy again. \nThis class is appropriate for beginners and for advanced students. It’s kind of like going to gym — no matter your fitness level\, practice is the key to growth. \nFamiliarity with A Course in Miracles or experience with meditation is helpful but not at all required. \nInstructor Christopher Pelham is the Director and a co-founder of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). He balances his time between overseeing the growth and health of the CRS community\, producing arts/cultural/educational events at the Center\, and working as a CRS Healer and student and teacher of A Course in Miracles. He has previously also worked in educational publishing and as a web designer\, writer/editor\, actor (most notably for several seasons with Doris Duke Impact Award Winner Johnny Simons at the Hip Pocket Theatre in Ft. Worth\, TX and with artists Richard Bach\, Harold Lehmann\, and Lake Simons in NYC)\, producer and videographer. He graduated from Duke University in 1991 with a degree in English. In addition to studying ACIM off and on with Yasuko Kasaki since 2003\, he studied the Spiritual Psychology of Acting with London-based teacher John Osborne Hughes and Jay Johnstone-based Improvisation with the late Gloria Maddox.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Voice of Nature — Paintings by Keiko Takeko
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to announce “Voice of Nature\,” an exhibition of paintings by Keiko Takeko. \nThrough her works\, she wants to express the beauty\, strength\, diversity and modesty of nature\, sometimes incorporating words which she “hears” from nature. She feels that living with nature teaches us to accept changes and reminds us that important things will come to us naturally. \nAn Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Saturday\, June 6\, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm.  At 7 pm the artist will perform two pantomime pieces inspired by Ka-Cho-Fu-Getsu. Ka-Cho-Fu-Getsu are the traditional themes of natural beauty in Japanese aesthetics. “Ka” means flower\, “Cho” means bird\, “Fu” means wind and “Getsu” means moon. \nThe exhibition will remain on display through the end of June. \nAbout the Artist \nKeiko Takeko came to the United States in 1997 and to study art at the University of Massachusetts in Boston. After graduation in 2000\, she returned to Japan and worked at Ukiyo-e gallery. While working\, she kept learning art\, especially abstract painting\, at Musashino Art University (correspondence education). \nHer first exhibition was a group exhibition in 2012\, “Christmas Art Gift exhibition” (art lab noct\, Tokyo) and the second was a joint exhibition with her friend in 2013\, “Exhibition in May” (Sendagi-Kukan\, Tokyo). \nShe also began to learn pantomime under a popular pantomimer\, Sugapon (Mr. Reina Suga)\, once a week from 2011. She currently performs once a month as part of the class performance series called “Washitsu no kai.” \nArtist Statement \nWe live with nature which changes every day and every moment. New green leaves in spring make me happy and blowing wind makes me refresh. On heavy rainy days with thunder\, I feel fear and realize how little my existence is. My heart is moved when I meet a beautiful moment of nature\, and one of my motives to make nature work is to express those moments. I imagine the scene and choose the paper color which suits it. I draw\, paint and collage with various media such as pastel\, acrylic\, cellophane\, autumn leaves etc. and finish when I feel that the image become the moment. Making several works with the same size is an influence of Ukiyo-e formats such as Diptych and Triptych. I make each panel separately. So I cannot imagine what will happen finally\, when it comes all together. This unpredictable part interests me a lot. \nMorning comes\, night comes. There is a clear day and a rainy day. The season changes and repeats. I think that this cycle of nature is similar to the cycle of the human heart\, feelings and life. However\, nature never complains. They are just there and accept the changes. Besides\, they surprise and please us with various expressions. The essence of the nature is warm and positive. I am glad if you would feel essence of such nature through my work. \nAbout pantomime \nIt is important for a pantomimer to become the thing itself that he wants to express. For example\, if you want to express a flower\, you need to become a flower. This is one of the reasons that I like mime. This idea makes me more familiar with nature and makes me think of it more directly. \nAdditionally\, doing mime gives me the idea of using my body as my art motif.

SUMMARY:Sunday Spiritual Reading/Healing Clinic — 7/13/14
DESCRIPTION:Many of you have asked for a weekend healing event\, so I’m thrilled to announce a Spiritual Reading & Healing Clinic with short meditation on Sunday\, July 13 from 12 – 1 pm\, just before Jon Mundy’s monthly Miracles in Manhattan lecture on A Course in Miracles (starting at 1:30 pm and you are welcome to join)!  \nWe’ll start with a short grounding meditation to relax and remember that we are spiritual beings\, unlimited by our physical circumstances and free to think and choose what we want. Then we’ll dive right into the individual readings! \nBring any issue you are facing right now — physically\, emotionally\, mentally\, and/or spiritually. With eyes closed (you will be seated and the healer will stand nearby\, no touching involved)\, we will join with you silently\, embracing your perfect spirit with unconditional love\, and ask the Holy Spirit to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues. After about 10 minutes\, we will share with you the guidance that we receive.  \nBy Holy Spirit\, we mean the voice of the part of your mind that seeks only to extend love to others unconditionally\, with the understanding that nothing real can be threatened. You don’t need to believe in God or in any particular religion to receive guidance from this place of love in your mind. When you feel stuck\, or scared\, or angry and unable to forgive\, the Holy Spirit’s guidance can remind you that you can be happy now\, that you have what it takes to meet and use any situation for love\, and that your frustration is therefore not actually caused by your situation but rather by your way of looking at it. If you are willing to change your mind\, you can find a way of seeing your situation as an opportunity for you to learn\, grow\, and share your love and limitless creativity.\nIf you are unable to attend but would like to receive spiritual reading/healing/counseling privately another time\, please contact us at info@crsny.org to set up a convenient time.\n \nLearn more\nJuly 20141312 – 1 pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Whispering Lights — Art by Erika Mizukami
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to announce “Whispering Lights\,” an exhibition of art work by Erika Mizukami. \nFinding inspiration in light\, she began making art on her own and is self-taught. So far\, she has made more than 100 works in this way. We selected about 10 works from all\, and will show them at CRS. The works represented here are colorful oil pastels in complex patterns\, created by scratching\, reminiscent of mandalas. Their purpose is to invite unity and harmony into the mind and also a sense of playfulness. \nAn Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Saturday\, July 11\, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm.  Pianist Maurizio Najt will perform \nThe exhibition will remain on display through August 17\, 2015. \nAbout the Artist \nBorn in New York and raised in Tokyo\, Erika Mizukami has been drawing since 2010. \nAfter experiencing self-hypnosis and guided meditation several years ago\, Erika started experiencing beautiful visions every night as she was lying down. Images were like the ones in a kaleidoscope\, vast\, spacious\, unlimited\, smooth\, a continuation of simple motifs within a slow movement. She was fully aware of her surroundings\, never tired from sleepless nights\, leaving her with a clear mind and emotional detachment. \nFully connected with the presence of Love\, Freedom\, and Stillness\, Erika explored the idea of capturing these images and wanted to share with others not only the images but the senses of healing she had in the experience. Drawing them on a sketchbook with a pencil was not an accurate way of sharing them. \nA year after\, she met a Mandala artist who recommended to her a book on how to draw a mandala. The instructions of drawing were so complicated for Erika\, so she placed the mandala interactions away and started playing with a compass to draw one simple circle in many ways. She loved it! However it was not quite yet able to reflect her visions. \nDuring the same year Erika took a course on Metaphysical Science. She had an assignment of expressing emotions in art. She picked oil pastels to do the project. It struck her! Since then she uses oil pastels and compass to draw the images. “When I scratched off the line\, the color appears underneath of black coated paper. It’s like the light appears in the dark.” \nEven though her artwork does not exactly mirror the images she sees in her mind\, “What I have experienced with drawing these particular artworks is far beyond my imagination. I just took inspired action every each moment to create shape and even choosing color.” \nThese artworks are teaching and guiding Erika in so many different aspects of understanding meaning in life and leading her to the original pure essence. When she completes a piece\, she looks at it with completely detachment\, neither like nor dislike\, leaving her for a couple of days with an empty mind\, no sense of judgment but deep love and joy! \nRelationship with all my creation is just being a witness of a process of unfolding flowers. When you see beauty in nature you go speechless\, with no words to express\, a kind of shock\, all thoughts and emotions become powerless and fade a way and I replace them with total acceptance\, being fully connected with something beyond my five senses \nRealizing that her art invites the viewers to the experience of reuniting with the universe as a whole\, Erika has been creating her artworks for people across any boundaries. \n“Creativity enriches my life. I love to inspire people and let them know how life is enjoyable just by taking a little time with the creativity we are all born with!” \nArtist Statement \nThe process of creating my work is one of returning myself back to the original nothingness. Choosing motifs\, colors\, and patters for each little step of drawing in a long\, simple repetition is made possible when I perceive a subtle and quiet inspiration coming from within. In drawing\, I let self-talk bubble up to consciousness from the innermost realm within\, and gently liberate each of them into the light. \nOnce the work is finished\, I realize that I have been experiencing the authentic nothingness. Which means no words\, no critiques\, no voices\, and no emotions emerge from my work toward me when seeing it for a couple of days after the completion. It seems as if a physical relationship between “me” the creator and my work the created\, which had been supporting the process of my creation\, reveals its real nature:  the original nothingness. \nAfter the experience of nothingness\, my consciousness gradually returns to the world of words and emotions where my work visually expresses its beauty. \nEvery time I finish my work\, I deeply feel that my creative process strengthens the mutual trust between my Self and what’s beyond my Self\, namely divinity. Not only my finished work but every little piece of the work\, every event I went through in the process of creating it\, every color\, and every figure outside the work now tell me the truth of the universe in a totally different way. The entire universe\, including my work and myself\, plays a role as catalyst to enrich the bond\, or a mutual trust\, between me and what leads me to create my works. This bond\, the trust\, is an experience of oneness between my singularity and the entire universe. My works are a series of invitations to this oneness.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Whispering Lights — Art by Erika Mizukami
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to announce “Whispering Lights\,” an exhibition of art work by Erika Mizukami. \nFinding inspiration in light\, she began making art on her own and is self-taught. So far\, she has made more than 100 works in this way. We selected about 10 works from all\, and will show them at CRS. The works represented here are colorful oil pastels in complex patterns\, created by scratching\, reminiscent of mandalas. Their purpose is to invite unity and harmony into the mind and also a sense of playfulness. \nAn Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Saturday\, July 11\, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm. ​ Pianist Maurizio Najt will perform. \nThe exhibition will remain on display through August 17\, 2015. \nAbout the Artist \nBorn in New York and raised in Tokyo\, Erika Mizukami has been drawing since 2010. \nAfter experiencing self-hypnosis and guided meditation several years ago\, Erika started experiencing beautiful visions every night as she was lying down. Images were like the ones in a kaleidoscope\, vast\, spacious\, unlimited\, smooth\, a continuation of simple motifs within a slow movement. She was fully aware of her surroundings\, never tired from sleepless nights\, leaving her with a clear mind and emotional detachment. \nFully connected with the presence of Love\, Freedom\, and Stillness\, Erika explored the idea of capturing these images and wanted to share with others not only the images but the senses of healing she had in the experience. Drawing them on a sketchbook with a pencil was not an accurate way of sharing them. \nA year after\, she met a Mandala artist who recommended to her a book on how to draw a mandala. The instructions of drawing were so complicated for Erika\, so she placed the mandala interactions away and started playing with a compass to draw one simple circle in many ways. She loved it! However it was not quite yet able to reflect her visions. \nDuring the same year Erika took a course on Metaphysical Science. She had an assignment of expressing emotions in art. She picked oil pastels to do the project. It struck her! Since then she uses oil pastels and compass to draw the images. “When I scratched off the line\, the color appears underneath of black coated paper. It’s like the light appears in the dark.” \nEven though her artwork does not exactly mirror the images she sees in her mind\, “What I have experienced with drawing these particular artworks is far beyond my imagination. I just took inspired action every each moment to create shape and even choosing color.” \nThese artworks are teaching and guiding Erika in so many different aspects of understanding meaning in life and leading her to the original pure essence. When she completes a piece\, she looks at it with completely detachment\, neither like nor dislike\, leaving her for a couple of days with an empty mind\, no sense of judgment but deep love and joy! \nRelationship with all my creation is just being a witness of a process of unfolding flowers. When you see beauty in nature you go speechless\, with no words to express\, a kind of shock\, all thoughts and emotions become powerless and fade a way and I replace them with total acceptance\, being fully connected with something beyond my five senses \nRealizing that her art invites the viewers to the experience of reuniting with the universe as a whole\, Erika has been creating her artworks for people across any boundaries. \n“Creativity enriches my life. I love to inspire people and let them know how life is enjoyable just by taking a little time with the creativity we are all born with!” \nArtist Statement \nThe process of creating my work is one of returning myself back to the original nothingness. Choosing motifs\, colors\, and patters for each little step of drawing in a long\, simple repetition is made possible when I perceive a subtle and quiet inspiration coming from within. In drawing\, I let self-talk bubble up to consciousness from the innermost realm within\, and gently liberate each of them into the light. \nOnce the work is finished\, I realize that I have been experiencing the authentic nothingness. Which means no words\, no critiques\, no voices\, and no emotions emerge from my work toward me when seeing it for a couple of days after the completion. It seems as if a physical relationship between “me” the creator and my work the created\, which had been supporting the process of my creation\, reveals its real nature:  the original nothingness. \nAfter the experience of nothingness\, my consciousness gradually returns to the world of words and emotions where my work visually expresses its beauty. \nEvery time I finish my work\, I deeply feel that my creative process strengthens the mutual trust between my Self and what’s beyond my Self\, namely divinity. Not only my finished work but every little piece of the work\, every event I went through in the process of creating it\, every color\, and every figure outside the work now tell me the truth of the universe in a totally different way. The entire universe\, including my work and myself\, plays a role as catalyst to enrich the bond\, or a mutual trust\, between me and what leads me to create my works. This bond\, the trust\, is an experience of oneness between my singularity and the entire universe. My works are a series of invitations to this oneness.
