SUMMARY:Exhibition:  CODE — a drawing like poetry like drawing
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents CODE — a drawing like poetry like drawing\, an exhibition of small works on paper by visual artist and poet Teo Yamamoto. The exhibition will open Saturday\, June 9\, 2018 and will remain on view through July 5\, 2018. An Opening Reception with poetry reading by the artist will be held on June 9 from 6 – 8 pm. \nThe 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. The 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. \nArtist Statement \nI’m a poet as well as a visual artist. Since I was little\, I began drawing pictures instinctively\, just as naturally as talking to myself. \nI am fascinated with “dots’ and the way dots connect to each other to become a “line.” Lines attract me even more. I am always impressed that the world\, as I see it\, is made up of lines. These lines\, straight or curved\, intersect\, merge and mix\, creating new forms\, morphing into geometric shaped objects. \nIn my mind’s eye these objects change their scale\, their distance and speed\, floating\, hovering\, then pass by\, disappear\, pop and freeze. They hold codes for me to decipher. \nAnimals\, plants\, stones\, clouds\, my love of the natural world all motivate me to make art. So\, too\, my awe of man-made marvels and creations like skyscrapers\, brick buildings\, stone churches\, common houses\, boats and roads inspire me immeasurably. \nI have been writing poems for a long time and started creating visual poetry in 2007. Through accumulated experience\, I discovered how to draw pictures using the same techniques and processes for writing poetry. I shift my focus inward to my mind\, and as I do\, objects become simplified; their meanings dissolve and float in space. Then\, slowly\, the freely structured poetic world is revealed. \nIn pockets\, I believe everyone holds a key that can open them to both see and feel my art. I wish that when people look at my drawings they can also enjoy a poetic experience. \nAbout Teo Yamamoto \nTeo Yamamoto was born in Japan and has been living in New York City since 1988. 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\, Tokyo\, and Europe. \n“CODE – a drawing like poetry like drawing” is an on-going series that Yamamoto began creating in 2007 and exhibiting in 2011 and continues to the present. As the title suggests\, Yamamoto focuses on the secret of drawing pictures as if writing poetry. Exhibitions of the CODE series have been held in New York\, Paris and Tokyo. Yamamoto’s works of visual poetry and objet d’art have also been shown in various group shows. \nAs a poet\, Yamamoto has published several books of poetry\, including her bilingual Japanese and English collections An Ordinary Tomorrow and Funny Tail\, which also feature her exquisite drawings. She performs her readings with live music collaborations. \nTwo of her earlier books of poems\, Running God and Blue Elf Weed\, were published in Japan. She also produced a series of chapbooks\, including  CODE\, which was issued in conjunction with her first exhibition at CRS in 2011. The series of her visual poetry called “Breath” was published in the poetry magazine Gui. \nhttp://teoyamamoto.com/

SUMMARY:Kabbalah Intro Lecture: What’s the Meaning of Life?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fascinating free lecture about the meaning of life\, the forces in the system that control our nature and our role in this system. \nLearn from authentic Kabbalistic sources and how to apply the principles of Kabbalah to everyday situations.  Meet like minded people in a stress-free environment and take the first step on your spiritual path. \nIn this lecture we will touch on the following topics. \nWho are you\, where did you come from\, where are you headed?\nWhy do people suffer? Is there a purpose to suffering?\nWhy you don’t need to suppress or feel ashamed of your desires.\nThe formula for attaining the deepest form of independence.\nHow to discover love in every situation.\nCreation & evolution explained.\nWe offer a 10 week campus class that will delve deeper into these mind-blowing topics and more… \nPresenters \nVLAD SHAMAILOV\nNEW YORK \nVlad has been on a quest for meaning of life since early childhood. Having tried numerous methods and beliefs promising inner fulfillment\, he stumbled upon the wisdom of Kabbalah at the age of 21. “All of a sudden I realized that two decades of wandering in the fog have not been spent in vain\,” he recalls. “Life itself has led me by the hand into a place of truth\, to finally make sense of my existence.” Since 2010 Vlad has been teaching Kabbalah in two languages in both a physical and a virtual setting. \nThe mission of KabU\, a brand of Bnei Baruch America Inc.\, is to teach the wisdom of Kabbalah and to share it with the entire world. By providing free courses for seekers of positive personal development and social improvement\, we aim to provide people with wisdom and inspiration for developing a deeper understanding of themselves\, nature\, and the world\, as well as new insight into the common source of life’s problems.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for the Exhibition “Love Planet” by yukko*
DESCRIPTION:CRS invites you to an Opening Reception on July 7\, 2018 from 5 – 7 pm for the exhibition Love Planet —  sending love of the plants all over the world through photography\, by photographer yukko＊. There will be live music by the artist. The exhibition will open Saturday\, July 7\, 2018 and will remain on view through August 30\, 2018. \nExhibition Concept \n‘Love Planet Project’ was created by photographer yukko＊ to share love of plants all over the world through photography. \nThe aim of this project is for the plants in yukko＊’s photo postcards to be delivered all over the world by those who join this project by ‘pay-it-forwarding’. \nIn this show the original prints of the postcards and posters of the 16 selected photos used for the project postcards as well as the actual postcards themselves will be displayed. \n All her photos were taken with a film camera\, and none of them have been re-touched by the computer. \nArtist Statement \nPlants have always seemed to be very close to me since I was a child.  Without recognizing it\, I started taking photos and naturally I became a photographer specializing in pictures of plants. Gradually I noticed that I always felt the affection and graciousness of the plants while taking photos\, and started to want to try to transform the plants’ energy of love into light through photography. At the same time I started to talk to the plants when taking photos saying\, “Please let me deliver your love to those who need it.” \nHaving seen visitors to my photo exhibition shed tears while looking at my photos\, it became certain to me that the wave of love of plants can be passed on to us human beings\, and I decided to deliver the love of plants all over the world through photography.  As a start\, I have launched this ‘Love Planet Project’ in New York through this photo exhibition at CRS. \nBio \nyukko＊ was born and raised in Sapporo\, Japan. She became interested in different cultures when she saw a lot of foreign guests at the winter Olympic games in her hometown when she was a child. She kept this interest in the world and became an English translator at the local government after she studied at Kings College\, London. During her career as a translator she came to understand the cultural diversity as well as re-recognizing the spiritual nature of Japanese people. \nBeing transferred to the suburb to work as a staff in charge of tourism she started to take photographs as a part of her work. It did not take long for her to be absorbed in photography and she came to recognize that photos reflect what the photographer sees and feels. \nShe experienced depression during her next career in the government and decided to quit\, and started her new career as a photographer in Osaka. \nNow she holds photo exhibitions in various places in Japan as well as photo classes and portrait shooting.  She also works as a personal fashion-consultant and also as a singer.  She is an integrated artist supporting people to live honest to their nature. \n
