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:The Grace of Gratitude — Healing Energy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:With Reiki Master Nathalie Jaspar & Holistic Coach Michele Kong \n* Space is limited. Please pre-register: http://graceofgratitude.eventbrite.com\nWorkshop fee $25 – $30 \nWith the hubbub of grocery lists\, travel plans\, the excitement of seeing family and friends\, or bracing to tolerate yet another familial get-together during Thanksgiving\, sometimes the spirit of the holiday can get lost in the shuffle. \nThe act of giving is a natural impulse that can dissolve differences\, mend (spoken and unspoken) misunderstandings and fuel connection. With an unarmored heart\, the grace of gratitude emerges in each of us quite easily. \nTo reconnect with this quality\, we will explore gentle movement\, mindful breath work and awareness exercises along with energetic attunements to prepare you for the Thanksgiving holiday ahead. We aim for you to move through your holiday gatherings feeling centered\, balanced and embodying your innate graciousness.\nFor more information\, please contact:\nReiki Master Nathalie Jaspar\nnatjaspar@me.com \nor\nHolistic Coach Michele Kong\nclearcoachingintl@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Japanese Music Concert with Seasonal Sweets
DESCRIPTION:CRS & Mar Creation\, Inc. invite you to discover traditional Japanese music by the acclaimed koto and shamisen player Yoko Reikano Kimura offered together with an exclusive taste of beautiful Japanese seasonal sweets prepared by Rin NYC. The first concert will take place on Saturday\, Nov 28 at 4 pm at CRS. Tickets are $20 and include wagashi (sweets). Seating is limited and advanced purchased (online\, by phone 212-677-8621\, or in person at CRS) is strongly encouraged. \n“…Yoko Reikano Kimura\, playing the shamisen and singing\, is superb….” — New York Times \n“…Kimura’s performance on the solo shamisen was quite stunning. An elegant refined presence perfectly poised\, she played with precision\, beauty and the utmost confidence….” — San Francisco Examiner \nThis will be the first in a seasonal series of music concerts called Four Seasons in New York — Gems of Japanese Music. After many centuries\, the brilliance of traditional Japanese music is still being passed on to the present day. Come and experience the sounds of koto and shamisen and enjoy the taste of the four seasons here in New York. This concert series will feature each season’s representative traditional works along with the colorful and delicate Japanese style confectionaries. \nEach season is expressed through ingredients. Spring traditionally begins with sakura (cherry blossoms)\, broccoli rabe\, strawberries and raspberries\, followed by elderflower\, rose\, edamame and sansho (Japanese pepper) in summer. As autumn approaches we’ll pick chrysanthemum\, apples\, grapes\, chestnuts and hazelnuts; and yuzu and kumquats in winter…. Even within one season\, the taste and the form change gradually from hashiri through nagori. \nmochi Rin / Bite-sized mochi dessert made with organic bean paste\, seasonally fruits and flowers in NY.\nWe present a new type of mochi that doesn’t quite exist in Japan\, by infusing New York’s locally-sourced ingredients into Japan’s popular traditional dessert —the stuffed mochi rounds\, such as daifuku and sakura-mochi — and mixing in rin\, the element of restrained grace.  http://www.rin-nyc.com \nMore about Yoko \nAs a frequent soloist and collaborator\, Japanese born Koto/Shamisen performer and singer Yoko Reikano Kimura has performed in NYC\, Chicago\, Tokyo\, Kyoto and many other cities\, featuring a wide-ranging repertoire from classical Japanese music to improvisational pieces. Yoko has won numerous awards including the First Prize at the prestigious 10th Kenjun Memorial National Koto Competition as the first Yamada style koto performer. She received the First Prize at the 4th Great Wall International Music Competition and the Osaka Chinese Counsel Award and won the Japanese music audition for NHK-FM radio and her solo shamisen performance was broadcasted nationally. Since then she has performed numerous koto and shamisen pieces for the radio and regularly toured internationally. \nSince Yoko moved to the US in 2010\, her mission has been to promote Japanese music to American audiences. As part of this mission she is performing and giving workshops at various venues\, such as the UN\, Merkin\, Bargemusic\, Roulette\, Princeton University\, Japan Society\, Harvard University\, Princeton University\, the New England Conservatory\, the University of Chicago\, Duke University and many others. http://www.yamadaryu.com/reikano/ \nAs part of the award-winning Duo Yumeno\, she has just released the album Flowers\, Birds\, Wind\, Moon:  The Music of Marty Regan.
