SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Ne-ko — Paintings by Hiroki Otsuka
DESCRIPTION:CRS is proud to present “Ne-Ko\,” an exhibition featuring a selection of sumi-e or ink paintings by Japanese artist and illustrator Hiroki Otsuka. Fusing traditional black ink wash with fluid brushwork reminiscent of Japan’s rich artistic legacy with playful portrayals of cats\, Otsuka produces a striking visual formula that is both whimsical and refined. This exhibition will open on October 22 and will be on view through November 30. There will be an opening reception with the artist on Saturday\, November 10\, 2018 from 6 – 8 pm. \nCats are beloved in Japanese culture as symbols of good fortune\, and have long claimed a monopoly on cuteness in mainstream media. Otsuka employs the varying shades and subtle tones of ink washes alongside animated brush strokes to capture the vibrant spirit\, graceful movement\, poise\, and yes\, cuteness\, of the world’s favorite felines. \nABOUT HIROKI OTSUKA  \nA professional comic book illustrator since 1994\, Brooklyn-based Japanese artist/illustrator Hiroki Otsuka has illustrated for a number of major Japanese publications. In 2005\, Hiroki Otsuka’s focus shifted from graphic to fine arts\, working predominantly with traditional sumi ink used in Japanese calligraphy. Hiroki Otsuka’s debut solo show at Brooklyn’s Stay Gold Gallery in 2005 prompted The New Yorker to write that his works “push the populist youth quotient through the roof.” Since then\, his work has appeared in galleries throughout the United States and Japan\, and has been featured in international art fairs in New York\, Tokyo and Basel\, Switzerland. He’s been exhibited at major art institutions such as The Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (Nothing Moments\, 2007) and in academic settings such as Pittsburgh University Art Gallery (Making Faces: Depiction of Women in Japan from Edo to Today\, 2009). In 2007\, Hiroki Otsuka was featured in Japan Society’s centennial exhibition Making a Home\, curated by Eric C. Shiner\, that highlighted 33 Japanese contemporary artists living and working in New York. Berlin’s Kunstraum Richard Sorge held a major exhibition of Hiroki Otsuka’s paintings and murals in 2009 entitled Everything to More. The same year\, Otsuka provided the integrated illustrations for choreographer Jeremy Wade’s critically acclaimed multimedia dance there is no end to more\, a Japan Society commission which had its world premiere in New York in December 2009. Hiroki Otsuka served as Japan Society’s first-ever manga artist-in-residence during the exhibition Graphic Heroes\, Magic Monsters: Japanese Prints by Utagawa Kuniyoshi from the Arthur R. Miller Collection. Most recently\, a show of new work\, “Men and Cats\,” has been hung at the Wayfarers Gallery in Brooklyn\, and in the Woodland/Shimko Galleries in Provincetown\, Mass. and Palm Springs. https://www.hirokiotsuka.nyc \nARTIST STATEMENT \nNe-Ko \nCats have captivated Japanese artists for more than a thousand years. In the Tale of Genji\, the masterwork of 11th century literature\, a cat sets the plot in motion by knocking over a screen\, and the moment has been captured time and again in prints and paintings. With the arrival of ukiyo-e\, the woodblock printing style of the 17th century\, the homes of Japan became populated by the world’s first great wave of cat art\, featuring the animals both in their natural form and walking upright in kimonos. Perhaps it is not surprising that Hello Kitty\, the most famous illustrated feline\, also comes from Japan. \nHiroki Otsuka’s work consistently mixes the media and methods of high and popular art. In “Ne-Ko\,” which means cat in Japanese\, he approaches this time-honored subject. Otsuka uses the traditional\, black-ink style of sumi painting to capture the animals’ pose and self-possession. But it is his eye as a manga cartoonist of 25 years that gives his subjects the motion and playfulness that has endeared them to their human companions. \nABOUT THE CURATOR \nExhibition Curator Reina Miyake is a recent graduate of Vassar College with a BA in Art History. She is a lifelong resident of NYC\, which cultivated her love of visual art and the color black. This is her first time curating an exhibition.

SUMMARY:Intro to Sufi Dance Class with Lâle Sayoko
DESCRIPTION:Learn the ancient practice of meditative whirling known as Sufi dance or Sema (Sama in Iranian). You will learn the techniques of whirling\, but Sema is not about reproducing a certain form or aesthetic. Rather\, the technique serves as a vehicle for inner journeying. Sema means spiritual listening. Together we’ll create a sacred space in which we can safely listen to and share our true selves and experience oneness with the Divine. \nEach class consists of some explanation of the theory and technique\, exercises\, practice whirling\, and sharing and discussion of what you experienced and felt. \nWhirling commonly induces dizziness or nausea. Over time\, through whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control. We empty our minds of all thoughts of the individual self as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn. Into this emptiness floods a divine fullness\, which sometimes gives rise to a state known as “mystical intoxication\,” a reflection of knowing and experiencing that you and I and the Divine are One. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing (white\, gray or black color is preferable\, avoiding prints and shiny material which might distract the eye while whirling) and wear socks or soft soled shoes. If you have a whirling skirt and/or a frame drum\, please feel free to bring it. Avoid eating a large meal for two hours prior to class. \n$20 with advance registration\, $25 at the door \nLearn more about Sufi dance:\nhttp://www.ranagorgani.com/10-things-about-sufi-dance/ \nAbout Sufi Dance Instructor Lâle Sayoko \nSayoko was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, and with New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show. Lale aspires for dance to be a powerful communicator though traditional technique and spiritual embodiment. She has lately been studying Sufi dance with Rana Gorgani\, and in April 2018 Gorgani awarded her the International Sufi Dance Certification Of Cid UNESCO\, granting her authority to teach Gorgani’s method of Sufi dance training. With CRS co-founders Yasuko Kasaki and Christopher Pelham\, she leads the CRS Healing Circles + Whirling that take place every third Thursday of the month at CRS (2nd Thursday in Aug 2018). \nhttp://www.lalesayoko.com

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Ne-ko — Paintings by Hiroki Otsuka
DESCRIPTION:CRS is proud to present “Ne-Ko\,” an exhibition featuring a selection of sumi-e or ink paintings by Japanese artist and illustrator Hiroki Otsuka. Fusing traditional black ink wash with fluid brushwork reminiscent of Japan’s rich artistic legacy with playful portrayals of cats\, Otsuka produces a striking visual formula that is both whimsical and refined. This exhibition will open on October 22 and will be on view through November 30. There will be an opening reception with the artist on Saturday\, November 10\, 2018 from 6 – 8 pm. \nCats are beloved in Japanese culture as symbols of good fortune\, and have long claimed a monopoly on cuteness in mainstream media. Otsuka employs the varying shades and subtle tones of ink washes alongside animated brush strokes to capture the vibrant spirit\, graceful movement\, poise\, and yes\, cuteness\, of the world’s favorite felines. \nABOUT HIROKI OTSUKA  \nA professional comic book illustrator since 1994\, Brooklyn-based Japanese artist/illustrator Hiroki Otsuka has illustrated for a number of major Japanese publications. In 2005\, Hiroki Otsuka’s focus shifted from graphic to fine arts\, working predominantly with traditional sumi ink used in Japanese calligraphy. Hiroki Otsuka’s debut solo show at Brooklyn’s Stay Gold Gallery in 2005 prompted The New Yorker to write that his works “push the populist youth quotient through the roof.” Since then\, his work has appeared in galleries throughout the United States and Japan\, and has been featured in international art fairs in New York\, Tokyo and Basel\, Switzerland. He’s been exhibited at major art institutions such as The Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (Nothing Moments\, 2007) and in academic settings such as Pittsburgh University Art Gallery (Making Faces: Depiction of Women in Japan from Edo to Today\, 2009). In 2007\, Hiroki Otsuka was featured in Japan Society’s centennial exhibition Making a Home\, curated by Eric C. Shiner\, that highlighted 33 Japanese contemporary artists living and working in New York. Berlin’s Kunstraum Richard Sorge held a major exhibition of Hiroki Otsuka’s paintings and murals in 2009 entitled Everything to More. The same year\, Otsuka provided the integrated illustrations for choreographer Jeremy Wade’s critically acclaimed multimedia dance there is no end to more\, a Japan Society commission which had its world premiere in New York in December 2009. Hiroki Otsuka served as Japan Society’s first-ever manga artist-in-residence during the exhibition Graphic Heroes\, Magic Monsters: Japanese Prints by Utagawa Kuniyoshi from the Arthur R. Miller Collection. Most recently\, a show of new work\, “Men and Cats\,” has been hung at the Wayfarers Gallery in Brooklyn\, and in the Woodland/Shimko Galleries in Provincetown\, Mass. and Palm Springs. https://www.hirokiotsuka.nyc \nARTIST STATEMENT \nNe-Ko \nCats have captivated Japanese artists for more than a thousand years. In the Tale of Genji\, the masterwork of 11th century literature\, a cat sets the plot in motion by knocking over a screen\, and the moment has been captured time and again in prints and paintings. With the arrival of ukiyo-e\, the woodblock printing style of the 17th century\, the homes of Japan became populated by the world’s first great wave of cat art\, featuring the animals both in their natural form and walking upright in kimonos. Perhaps it is not surprising that Hello Kitty\, the most famous illustrated feline\, also comes from Japan. \nHiroki Otsuka’s work consistently mixes the media and methods of high and popular art. In “Ne-Ko\,” which means cat in Japanese\, he approaches this time-honored subject. Otsuka uses the traditional\, black-ink style of sumi painting to capture the animals’ pose and self-possession. But it is his eye as a manga cartoonist of 25 years that gives his subjects the motion and playfulness that has endeared them to their human companions. \nABOUT THE CURATOR \nExhibition Curator Reina Miyake is a recent graduate of Vassar College with a BA in Art History. She is a lifelong resident of NYC\, which cultivated her love of visual art and the color black. This is her first time curating an exhibition.
