SUMMARY:Exhibition — "Home and Home: New York in My Life" — Photographs by Satomi Shirai
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) announces “Home and Home: New York in My Life\,” an exhibition of photographs by Satomi Shirai. These seven works reveal\, in boldly playful as well as subtle ways\, a newly arrived immigrant’s strategies to create a sense of home and to discover what those strategies are. From the outset\, CRS has sought to provide a creative and spiritual home to artists and seekers from all over the world\, and we believe that this exhibition speaks directly to our mission and the experience of so many members of our community. \nThe exhibition will open on October 19\, 2015 and be on display through November 28\, 2015. An opening reception with the artist will take place on Friday\, October 23\, 2015 from 7:30 – 9:30 pm. \nWhile the photographs in this exhibition look like documentary-style records of the often messy and alien life that an immigrant lives prior to acquiring furnishings and fully settling in (does an immigrant ever fully settle in?)\, the photographs are actually meticulously staged with a highly controlled mastery of mis-en-scene and craft. This creates a tension between order and chaos\, reality and artifice\, into which the artist places herself and her own child and friends as models\, challenging our initial impulse to label the life depicted as disordered. The more we look\, the more we recognize objects\, symbols\, behaviors\, relationships that give meaning and context to the home depicted. We recognize that we carry home within us and carry on a never-ending process of using our minds in diverse and complex ways to anchor ourselves and project our sense of home into our habitat\, making it our own even in the midst of constant change. \nAbout Satomi Shirai \nSatomi Shirai is originally from Tokyo\, and currently lives and works in New York. She completed the full-time Certificate Program at International Center of Photography in 2007\, and received her MFA from CUNY Hunter College in 2010. Her works have been exhibited nationally and internationally including at Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography\, National Portrait Gallery in London\, and Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. Her photographs are in the collection of Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography and Kiyosato Museum of Photographic art. \nhttp://www.satomishirai.com \nArtist Statement \nWalls with windows and doors form the house\,\nbut the empty space within it is the essence of the house.\n— from The Uses of Not\, Lao Tse \nIn this body of work\, Home and Home: New York in My Life\, I explore what constitutes the concept of home\, as an immigrant who chose to live in New York. Tangibility versus intangibility are brought up\, and added to the discussion. How do we assess or assume home? \nMy relocation to New York is not about overcoming a culture that is distinct\, but encountering and understanding cultural disparity and similarity. Living in NYC highlights the intangible aspects of cultures today that include language\, myth\, mind-sets\, daily customs\, social class issues\, and identity. The diverse sense of femininity provides me other vantage point to examine the collective consciousness in the cities. \nI am bringing up positions of custom\, holiday\, architecture\, dress\, food\, location\, and home design as a means to explore how culture is being inter-mixed or is remaining unchanged at a microcosmic level\, and how national identity and sensibility are maintained or relinquished through living in a cross-cultural city life. The more understanding of cultural contrasts I have\, the more I feel closer to the U.S\, and so my space in New York is psychologically being expanded. \nA new point of view has been added to my life and work. I gave birth to my baby in New York and became a mother. This has enormously shifted my state of mind and lifestyle. The project or new chapter will be continued with the unknown transitions. \n

SUMMARY:π=3.14...First Reading with Three Actresses
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents a new play with video by Yoshiko Chuma & the School of Hard Knocks in the White Room at CRS. The text is taken from the π=3.14 series of works that journeyed from 2000 – 2015 through Sarajevo\, Macedonia\, Manipur\, Romania\, Fukushima\, Ramallah\, Amman\, Kabul\, Berlin and New York. \nDesign\, Direction and Concept/Dry Tech:  Yoshiko Chuma\nCast:  Miriam Parker\, Saori Tsukada and Heather Litteer\nLive Video Painting:  Kit Fitzgerald\nUnfinished Series Film and Documentation:  Megumi Eda \nDesigned by Clouds AO\, winners of the recent NASA competition to design the first inhabitable structure to be built on Mars\, and opened in June of this year\, the White Room at CRS was named by Homes to Love as one of nine studios around the world to “achieve design nirvana.” This performance will be the first theatrical event to be held in the space. \nPerformances will take place on Friday & Saturday\, November 20 & 21\, 2015 at 7:30 pm and 9 pm. The performance is 70′ in duration. Tickets are $20 ($15 for students and seniors)\, and there are only 15 seats available for each performance. \nYoshiko Chuma\, artistic director of The School of Hard Knocks (SOHK)\, has been a creative force in postmodern performance\, traveling and interacting with artists in relatively isolated parts of the world since the 1980’s. She has assembled her newest project\, π=3.14…First Reading with Three Actresses\, through a creative process called “Dry Tech” that emphasizes verbal communication between the artists. Dry Tech traditionally refers to a theatrical rehearsal without the performers\, in which the design and technical staff run through the operation of all the technical elements of production\, stopping and starting to make adjustments. In contrast\, the Chuma-style Dry Tech consists of a meeting\, usually not in the performance space\, that includes the entire team including performers wherein Chuma leads the team exclusively through the verbal calling out of the technical cues and action and extensive discussion of the work. The method—often interview style—investigates the artists’ perspectives and stories—both artistic and personal. This creative process mines material from the team members’ sharing about how they understand the work and how they view themselves in the context of making the work. Elements of this material may then be incorporated into the production\, enabling a multiplicity of distinct and at times conflicting voices and viewpoints to emerge and co-exist. \n \n  \n \nABOUT THE TEAM \nYOSHIKO CHUMA (conceptual artist/choreographer/artistic director of The School of Hard Knocks) has been a firebrand of New York’s downtown dance scene since arriving in 1978. She has created more than 60 full-length company works\, commissions and site-specific events for venues in 35 countries\, constantly challenging the notion of performing for both audience and participant. Her work has been presented in such diverse venues as Joyce Theater\, the Eiffel Tower\, Newcastle Swing Bridge\, City Center\, Lincoln Center\, the former National Theater of Sarajevo\, the perimeter of the Hong Kong harbor\, and an ancient ruin in Macedonia\, and in Jordan\, among others. She has received fellowships and awards for choreography and career work from John Simon Guggenheim Foundation\, NEA\, New York Foundation for Artists\, Japan Foundation\, Meet the Composer Choreographer/Composer Commission and Philip Morris New Works. Chuma has led workshops and master classes and been commissioned to create new work in East and West Europe\, Asia\, Russia and the U.S. She received a 1984 BESSIE award for choreography and four more Bessies were awarded to her productions in 1992 and 1998. In 2007 she received a Bessie for Sustained Achievement. Chuma was Artistic Director of the Daghdha Dance Company in Limerick\, Ireland from 2000-03 and continues to work in Ireland as a guest teacher/choreographer in the Dance MA program of the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance. \nTHE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS [SOHK] (Founded in 1984) is an award-winning collaborative effort of choreographers\, dancers\, actors\, singers\, musicians\, designers\, and visual artists working under the artistic direction of Yoshiko Chuma.  The School of Hard Knocks\, which takes its name from the American idiom meaning to learn things the hard way\, was the title of the company’s first production\, a collaboration between Yoshiko Chuma\, Jacob Burckhardt (filmmaker) and Alvin Curran (musician) presented at the 1980 Venice Biennale.
