SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Matters — Works on Silk by Aomi Kikuchi
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents MATTERS\, an exhibition of nine works by the award-winning Brooklyn-based artist AOMI KIKUCHI. Best known for her exquisite Yuzen silk kimono dyeing and work with other delicate fabrics\, which have been exhibited in galleries and museums all over the world\, KIKUCHI here depicts frogs on triple-layered silk organza in a variety of natural settings as well as among human-made objects. \nTo maintain the softness and ‘unreliability’ of the gauze\, she refrains from sewing or tightly stretching it. The fragility and insubstantiality of the images echo the impermanence and insubstantiality of the physical world. The elements of nature\, while ever changing\, evoke a sense of peace which contrasts with the insatiable temptations evoked by the depicted consumer goods. Kikuchi’s work invites us to meditate on this ephemerality and discover that its acceptance brings a sense of inner peace. \nThe exhibition will be on view from December 11\, 2019 – February 4\, 2020. The public is invited to meet the artist at the CRS Holiday Celebration on Saturday\, December 14\, 2019. \nMedium: Triple-layered silk organza\, Acid Dye\, Pigment\nKikuchi dyed three layered pieces of silk organza simultaneously with acid dyes and pigments after drawing outlines with a gold color Sumi ink. She then steamed them to fix colors\, pressed them\, and separated them to be framed. \nMethod: Kikuchi’s original method based on Japanese Yuzen Kimono Dye\nKikuchi uses special brushes made for Yuzen Kimono dye to make beautiful gradations. The size of the brush varies from 3mm to 15cm. She innovated Yuzen kimono dye techniques to establish her original method with layered fabrics and without rice glue lines as water resistance. Instead of glue resistance\, she manipulates dye liquid to prevent it from spreading outside of her hand-drawn gold Sumi outline.\nHer method makes it possible to dye larger and layered fabrics. \nARTIST STATEMENT \nMy work often uses creatures as a motif to express the heart of Buddha’s benevolence that human beings and all creatures are equally important. \nFrogs in particular are special to me. I lived with the frog named “Bell” for several years. Bell eats a small larva twice a week\, but otherwise he/she always sits like a Zen monk and does not move. Unlike us\, he/she didn’t lie down or extend his/her legs. Bell ended his/her life and no more exists. \nHumans have various desires\, and if they are not fulfilled\, they suffer. If they are fulfilled\, they will be obsessed with new desires and will not be satisfied. \nA jellyfish drifts in the waves and lives a life just to get food. We sometimes stop and look at the simple way of life in the aquarium and think its life is even enviable. \nGoldfish were bred by humans to appear more beautiful. The desire to see beautiful things gave goldfish bigger eyes\, fins and a fuller stomach than necessary. Human desires also afflict goldfish. \nThe message of my work is that the only way for us to live a mindful life is through understanding that desire creates pain\, and there is nothing in the world that will never change and nothing that will last forever. \nABOUT AOMI KIKUCHI \nAomi Kikuchi is a creator of innovative fine arts inspired by Buddha’s philosophy and concepts of impermanence\, insubstantiality\, and suffering in our lives. She started her career as a fashion designer and worked for more than 25 years as a professional Yuzen silk kimono dyer. While she has a strong obsession with silk fabrics\, she also works with other materials that have a femininity and fragility such as fiber\, goose down\, and cotton flower. Her artistic practice has been expanding from two-dimensional work to include installations\, sculpture\, and film. She received her BFA from Kyoto University of Art and Design and her MFA from Pratt Institute. Her works have been exhibited all over the world\, including this year at the Yukyung Museum in South Korea\, in the 35th Anniversary Pratt in Venice show at the Steuben Gallery at Pratt Institute\, and at the Wajun-Kaikan Gallery in the famous Chion-in Temple in Kyoto\, Japan\, among many others. \naomikikuchi.com\ninstagram.com/aomikikuchi

SUMMARY:ZERO GRASSES: Workshop & Concert by Vocalist/Multi-Instrumentalist/Composer Jen Shyu
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents CROSSING BOUNDARIES Concert Series Vol. 11: ZERO GRASSES\, curated\, created and performed by Steinway Artist\, Guggenheim Fellow and USA Fellow JEN SHYU (photo by Caterina Di Perri). \nThis powerful autobiographical work arose out of an intense period of self-reflection following the sudden death of JEN SHYU’s father and a visit to a fertility clinic. Effortlessly weaving together music\, monologue and video projection\, SHYU traces the threads of her life to explore the painful terrain of expectation\, ambition\, longing and love. \nCommissioned by John Zorn and premiered Oct 30 at National Sawdust\, ZERO GRASSES reunites SHYU with Romanian director Alexandru Mihail\, who also directed her acclaimed one-woman show Nine Doors\, which premiered at National Sawdust in 2017 and was reprised at last year’s Resonant Bodies Festival. The piano for this concert is being provided with generous support by Steinway. \nPrior to the concert\, starting at 6:30 pm\, Jen will lead a short participatory Intermedia Workshop for the audience. The performance itself will begin at 8 pm. The workshop is open to all artists and art lovers alike. Everyone will be writing\, singing\, moving\, acting\, and improvising\, so please try to wear comfy clothes and shoes\, and feel free to bring any instruments or just bring yourselves. \nIn honor of Jen’s father\, and in partnership with WEARTH\, for every ticket sold to this performance\, a tree will be planted in the Tsu Pin Shyu | 徐澤濱 Forest in a conserved forest in Saskatchewan\, Canada. \n \nComposition\, vocals\, piano\, sound design\, Japanese biwa\, Taiwanese moon lute\, dance: Jen Shyu\nDirector: Alexandru Mihail\nSet and Projection Design: Kristen Robinson and Kate Campbell\nCostume Design: Elizabeth Caitlin Ward\nLighting Design: Solomon Weisbard\nKeynote Operator: Neil Beckmann\nMedia Production: Kinetic Expression LLC \nThis is the eighth and final concert in the series during 2019 and will take place on December 13\, 2019 at 8 pm at CRS. \nTickets are $25 in advance $30 at the door. Students and seniors with valid ID can purchase tickets for $20 at the door. Tickets are available online at crsny.org\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. \nMORE ABOUT ZERO GRASSES \nZERO GRASSES premiered at NATIONAL SAWDUST on Oct 30\, 2019 as part of John Zorn’s Stone Commissioning Series. \n“The title and seed of ZERO GRASSES came from my ongoing collaboration and conversations with Garin Nugroho\, the great Indonesian filmmaker and stage director\, who directed my first solo theatrical work\, Solo Rites: Seven Breaths. In light of Seven Breaths and Nine Doors\, we began to discuss the number zero and its power as a metaphor for loss and disconnection\, as in the deterioration of humans’ ability to communicate with nature\, to read the signs of nature\, which is something I was already wanting to manifest artistically. So when John Zorn asked me to create a new work on October 30\, 2019\, for his series at National Sawdust\, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to realize this vision. \n“Zero Grasses is dedicated to my dearest father\, Tsu Pin Shyu | 徐澤濱 (January 19\, 1941 – April 2\, 2019)\, who passed away unexpectedly in his sleep in his favorite chair during a nap while I was on a research fellowship in Japan. I was informed via email from the local sheriff who arrived with 911 whom Mom called when she couldn’t wake up Dad. Before I left for Japan February of 2019\, Zero Grasses was rooted in environmental concerns and an unforeseen ending of a long-term relationship when I turned 40. After rushing to Texas to take care of my mother and in the following months processing Dad’s death\, I worked intensely with director Alexandru Mihail on shaping Zero Grasses. Its themes expanded to include legacy\, family\, race\, sexuality\, fertility vs. barrenness in land and in our bodies\, technology’s effect on our connection with nature and to each other\, our own conflicting ambitions\, and an investigation of life when Mom handed me my childhood diaries from a shelf in Dad’s closet when we were cleaning it out and deciding what to keep of his and what to give away. In performing this work\, I am constantly reminded that it was Dad who inspired me to live life as I envision it. Zero Grasses is an hommage to all those who shape our lives in changing the world around us.” \n— Jen Shyu \nWatch the music video for one of the songs from the show\, “Life As You Envision”:\n \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nGuggenheim Fellow\, USA Fellow\, Doris Duke Artist\, Fulbright scholar\, multilingual vocalist-composer-instrumentalist-dancer JEN SHYU is “one of the most creative vocalists in contemporary improvised music” (The Nation).
