SUMMARY:World Amigurumi Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn this two and a half month long exhibition\, Resobox Gallery will be turned into an “amigurumi room”\, filled to the brim with cute crocheted and knitted creatures! \n\n\nBeginning December 12\, 2014\, Resobox Gallery will be exhibiting 4\,000 amigurumi contributed by over 140 artists from 32 different countries. Resobox Gallery wants to turn the space into an “amigurumi room”\, filled to the brim with cuddly and cute handmade creatures.

On display at our booth were calligraphy pieces by Shoko Kazama\, kimono art by MAYUKO Okada\, komodaru (sake barrels) by Kishimoto Kichiji Shoten and some amigurumi from the World Amigurumi Exhibit! \n\n\nWatch our promotional video: Mookie’s Adventure!\n \n\nGo on a video tour of the World Amigurumi Exhibition!\n \n\nWhat Are Amigurumi?\nCourtesy Rachel Hoe from Little Yarn Friends\nAmigurumi (lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami\, meaning crocheted or knitted\, and nuigurumi\, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically animals\, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features\, as is typical in Japanese culture. (Wikipedia) \nAmigurumi stems from animism\, a philosophy in the foundations of many Japanese traditions and customs. Animism is the belief that gods belong to everything: water\, food\, nature\, buildings and houses\, even technology. In Japanese\, this is called “Yaoyorozu no Kami”. In fact\, Japanese people often put eyes\, arms\, and legs onto non-human objects and give them imaginary lives in order to feel closer to these objects and show them respect as co-existing partners in this world. \nAs a Japanese cultural center located in Queens\, NY\, one of the most diverse cultural areas in the world\, Resobox Gallery wants to explore how the ideas of animism and amigurumi are perceived in other places internationally. \n\nJoin us at Vogue Knitting Live NYC in January!\nRESOBOX will collaborate with Vogue Knitting Live and have a small pop-up World Amigurumi Exhibition booth at the show. Also\, on January 18\, 2015 from 11:15 am – 12:00 pm\, Takashi Ikezawa\, creator and owner of RESOBOX will provide a lecture about the company\, including why and how the cultural center began its “World Amigurumi Exhibition” and Helen E. Moss\, an advisor at RESOBOX and a crochet instructor in Queeens and Manhattan\, will talk about amigurumi and show off some of the more intricately designed amigurumi from the “World Amigurumi Exhibition”. \nVogue Knitting Live NYC will take place at the New York Marriott Marquis\, January 16-18\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Edo Pop: Modern Icons Meets An Ancient Art Form
DESCRIPTION:Modern video game heroes\, lovingly depicted as handmade Japanese prints \nFor hundreds of years\, ukiyo-e (or Japanese woodblock prints) has depicted heroes\, villains\, and monsters in every conceivable genre. These artists strived to create inventive and vibrant scenes of entertainment\, a “floating world”. To this day\, that tradition of depicting a “floating world” continues\, especially in video games. Boss fights. Invulnerable heroes. Holy swords. Even the classic double jump can be traced back to medieval Japanese legends. \nTo celebrate Japan’s contribution to video games\, illustrator Jed Henry has taken his favorite game characters\, and returned them to the ukiyo-e style. Modern costuming has been traded for the medieval\, but the essence of each character remains\, proving that you can’t take the Ukiyo out of these modern pop icons. With the help of Dave Bull\, a craftsman trained in the art of Japanese woodblock printing\, these illustrations are truly able to come to life. After Jed Henry designs each print\, Dave Bull goes through an intricate process of preparing\, carving the key block\, carving the color blocks\, and proof printing. In this manner\, Jed Henry’s designs are truly able to come to life in the ukiyo-e tradition. \n\nAbout Japanese Woodblock Printing\nJapanese woodblock printing or moku hanga (木版画) is a technique very similar to Western woodcut techniques (ie: movable type and the printing press). A key difference\, however\, is in the type of ink used for each technique: in the Western tradition\, oil-based inks are most commonly used\, but in Japanese woodblock printing\, water-based inks are used. This allows for a wide variety of colors\, glazes\, and even transparency. \nWatch David Bull create one of these pieces right before your eyes!

SUMMARY:Komodaru Furniture: COMON-DARU
DESCRIPTION:About Komodaru \nA komodaru is a wooden barrel designed to transport sake during the Edo period. The daru (wooden barrel part) is wrapped with a straw mat or komo\, and then tied with rope. The komo is often used as a “label” of sorts to distinguish between various brands of sake. While komodaru still store sake\, most are used as a decorative piece in Japanese restaurants and bars to showcase the brands they offer at their establishment. \nKomodaru are also used for celebrations in Japan\, such as for weddings. Kagamibiraki\, is a tradition when the lid of the barrel (called kagami) is opened with the tap of a mallet. After the komodaru is opened\, a toast is made to wish happiness and success for the newlyweds. \nToday Kishimoto Kichiji Shouten continues to manufacture komodaru just as in ancient Japan; each barrel is hand-made to perfection. These komodaru customs and traditions have been passed down from generation to generation for over 400 years. \nCOMON-DARU Concept \nA new concept for furniture was born from a bold mix of traditional values of Japan combining the shape of the komodaru\, printed with various komon (ancient Japanese patterns) representing the four seasons. In Japan\, each season is not only quite distinct weather-wise\, but also contains a lot of underlying symbolism for everyday life. By using red and white komon patterns inspired by the Japanese flag\, Hinomaru\, and by describing the four seasons of Japan\, the COMON-DARU concept was born.

SUMMARY:Japan - An Island Nation: 1870-1890
DESCRIPTION:The Resobox Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of Nineteenth-Century hand-colored photographs of the visual island landscape of Meiji Japan from The Burns Archive. \nThe images in this exhibition showcase the best of Japanese photographs that were made to show the perceived exotic nature of Japan to the West. Several of the great early photographers’ studios are represented\, including Kusakabe Kimbei\, Felice Beato\, and Baron von Stillfried. These photographers\, under government supervision\, documented the artisans\, shopkeepers and workers that made up the bulk of the Japanese middle and working class entrepreneurial society. It was critical for Japanese ‘public relations’ of the era to put a face on Japan’s people and products. They were being exported for the first time to international fairs and expositions. It was through these fairs and photographs that the world was introduced to Japan. These photographs were presented in albums\, which tourists brought back to the West.

SUMMARY:enso vol.2 Live Painting & Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The theme of this exhibit and performance is ‘the four seasons.’ Both artists are from Japan\, whose culture is greatly intertwined with nature and the four seasons. There is a belief in Japanese culture that the four seasons are similar to the stages of life. The performers\, Ryoko Goto and Migiwa Miyajima on piano\, will express this concept through live paintings and improvised music. You will be able to connect the beauty of nature with life through their performance. \nLive Painting: An Interactive Experience\n\nUpon entering\, guests will be asked to write one word which reminds them of one of the four seasons.\nMigiwa Miyajima\, the pianist and composer\, will read all of them and begin improvising on the piano\, simultaneously feeling the musical inspiration emanating from these words.\nRyoko Goto\, the painter\, will begin painting while listening to Migiwa’s improvisation. The audience and their words will help the artists complete their original piece.\nPlease join and take part in this wonderful and spontaneous creation.

SUMMARY:Otogizoshi - BOKUSAI -
DESCRIPTION:As the word “Bokusai” (boku is ink and sai is color) tells you\, there are various colors found in the colors of black and white. \nSome go together well but others oppose each other. \nTherefore\, there is a certain charm to expressing these colors\, since it’s both difficult and pleasurable. \nSho (calligraphy) is the result of pursuing the possibilities to express the invisible part through the visible part. \nThe way of life of a calligrapher is to believe this and keep drawing. \nThe theme of this exhibition is Otogizoshi\, stories from Muromachi period (13th century) that have been passed down verbally among children in Japan. \nI created these pieces featuring three stories\, Shuten-doji\, Issun-boshi\, and Urashima Taro from Otogizoshi. \nI hope you feel the possibilities of expression from both the invisible and visible parts. \nI’d like to thank everyone who helped me hold this exhibition in New York. \n \n\nRelated Events\nMicroscopic Journey – Friday\, July 25th 8:00 ~ 10:00pm\nKamishibai for Kids – Sat.\, July 26\, 12:30pm ~2:30pm\nKill la Kill Analysis Lecture – Friday\, August 1st\, 8:00pm – 10:00pm\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:TIME AFTER TIME: IMAGES IN HISTORICAL DISPLACEMENT
DESCRIPTION:An interactive installation and exhibition of an ongoing creative project\, to be continued in different venues throughout 2014\, and included as part of Carol Crawford’s solo exhibition at Atlantic Gallery\, Manhattan\, October 7 – November 1\, 2014. Viewers will be invited to contribute their own stories in reaction to what they see in the individual art works. \n\nTHE INTERATIVE PROJECT:\nViewers are invited to respond to a series of questions printed on 3×5 cards\, after studying each mixed media construction. These candid responses will ultimately be compiled to create a story\, inspired by every viewer’s interpretation and reaction to the perceived content of each work. The artist will incorporate the responses into a printed and painted narrative manuscript\, to be displayed with the works in Atlantic Gallery. As this collective narrative grows progressively\, is read and re-written from the input of many viewers\, it becomes a shared experience of creative imagination. The final compilation will be published on the artist’s website\, www.carol-crawford. com and in a series of vignettes on Facebook: Carol Crawford \n  \n\n  \n\nTell Us Your Thoughts… \n\n\n“Unlike windows that painters were once advised to emulate with their own frames\, these constructions are more like doors through which one can pass to enter the landscapes they contain.”* \n*[Arnold Berleant\, quoted from catalog essay about Carol Crawford’s solo exhibition & performance installations\, City Visions\, shown at the QCC Gallery & Theatre\, Queensborough Community college\, C.U.N.Y.]\n\n\n\n– Where would you be and what would you be doing if you were part of this picture? \n– Who do you imagine these people to be\, and what might be their dreams? \n– What caught your attention first in this picture\, and why? \n– What role does time seem to play in this picture? What does “Time after Time” mean to you? \n– What is the strongest emotion you feel when you look at this picture? \nYou are invited to answer these questions on the cards provided in the box marked “questions”\, below. Please circle the number of the picture that you refer to. When you finish your response\, please insert the card into the box marked “responses.”\nThank you for participating in this project. Add your name and hometown if you wish. \n\n\n\n-Carol Crawford

SUMMARY:Bathhouse
DESCRIPTION:Jacek Maczynski\, a Polish-born artist responds in his work to the cultural diversity of New York City\, his adoptive home. Interest in Asian calligraphy has led him to experiment with the pictorial idioms and to establish a cross-cultural artistic dialog through translating meditative experience of religious contemplation of Catholicism into spiritual exercise of Zen Buddhism. With contemporary and urban style to his works\, this is how he described origins of his inspiration: \nUsing an egg tempera and oil in monochromatic manner I make a reference to sacral art of medieval Europe as well as to Asian calligraphy and its meditative ascetic quality of Zen. Taking upon vocabulary of geometric motifs of abstraction of minimal art (I consider minimalism the most profound of artistic movements in contemporary art)\, I bring these three forms of spiritual utterance together to create a cross-cultural meditative pictorial language that evokes a concept of sacrum in Western and Eastern tradition.

SUMMARY:Illuminating Calmness
DESCRIPTION:Recreating a Traditional Japanese Atmosphere with Cutting Edge OLED Lighting\nFusion & Innovation creates a whole new Japanese “WA” space using Japan’s new cutting-edge technology – OLED lighting provided by Kaneka Corporation – on April 23\, 24 and 25th at RESOBOX Gallery in New York. \nDuring this exhibition\, you will be immersed in traditional and sophisticated Japanese art forms\, even while feeling as though you are in the ancient city of Kyoto. At the same time\, Kaneka’s advanced technology will amaze you\, by using contemporary\, newly-designed OLED lighting fixtures in completely new ways\, such as in room dividers\, traditional Japanese screens (byobu) and many other applications. \nWe’d like you to think about what you are experiencing\, and talk together with us about the myriad possibilities of OLED lighting as you relax in a Japanese tea room set up in the gallery. Enjoy Japanese traditional green tea (matcha)\, served by a tea master from Japan. \nThis is not only an opportunity to see and appreciate creative lighting arts\, but also an opportunity to talk about the future possibilities of OLED lighting together with you. \n \nThis exhibition is hosted by Fusion & Innovation\, Inc. (all exhibited OLED products are designed under the name of “hechi”) \nOLED Lighting Panels are provided by Kaneka Corporation. (http://www.kanekaoled.jp/en/) \n  \nWhat is OLED?\nUnlike LED\, which came out after fluorescent light and incandescent light\, OLED produces a softer light that doesn’t dazzle your eyes\, even if you look directly into it. Thin OLED panels have plain emissions\, making it possible for them to be used in more elaborate lighting fixture designs. OLED can also be used in new\, more creative ways and in completely different fields\, such as interior design\, theatrical scenography\, display designs and in creative products where conventional lighting sources like LED can’t be applied. \nJapanese Culture and OLED Lighting\nTo showcase the new possibilities of OLED technology\, in this exhibition we are setting up a Japanese tea room in the gallery space. The characteristics of OLED lighting match perfectly with the cultural and spiritual climate of Japan. Such lighting can provide dramatic impact\, especially suited for the calmness of a Japanese tea room. Actually viewing some of these possibilities will help expand your own ideas and new concepts to include OLED lighting. \n\n \n

SUMMARY:In/Out
DESCRIPTION:My works are inspired by ordinary moments; such as landscapes\, things that I touch\, feel\, image\, and everything that I am surrendered by. My inspirations are everywhere. Some people may walk pass by\, some may take a picture\, but I capture it into a cloth and making it into something extraordinary with my own hand with my unique technique. \nI have been through so many phase of expressing my art\, but living in New York truly established my style. Living in N.Y on my own was very vulnerable experience\, and it forced me to start from nothing. I would say the life in N.Y helped me to go back to basic. \nMy style origins from when I was very young. My grandmother used to own a colorful knitting shop where I often spend my time. I was fascinated by so many faces that fabrics\, yarns and threads can have. This is the reason why I decided to use the fabrics to express my art. Perhaps\, I was looking for some serenity through the memory of my grandmother. Soon it became my signatures style of art. I use a very thin cloth\, and pull the threads little by little with my hands. It requires dynamic technique like carving a wood or sculpting a stone\, but also requires sensitivity like a painting. However\, when I combine all the techniques into a sheer cloth\, it creates extraordinary sense of existence and illusionary shadow to my art. \nI hope many people can stop and see the moments that I captured. \nGallery\n       \n  \n  \n\n \n \n

SUMMARY:Working Life in Meiji Japan 1868-1912
DESCRIPTION:The Resobox Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of Nineteenth-Century hand-colored photographs of Japanese entrepreneurial class culture from The Burns Archive. \nThe images in this exhibition showcase the best of Japanese photographs that were made to show the perceived exotic nature of Japan to the West. Several of the great early photographers’ studios are represented\, including Kusakabe Kimbei\, Felice Beato\, and Baron von Stillfried. These photographers\, under government supervision\, documented the artisans\, shopkeepers and workers that made up the bulk of the Japanese middle and working class entrepreneurial society. It was critical for Japanese ‘public relations’ of the era to put a face on Japan’s people and products. They were being exported for the first time to international fairs and expositions. It was through these fairs and photographs that the world was introduced to Japan. These photographs were presented in albums\, which tourists brought back to the West. \n Photos from the Opening Reception\n              \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:DREAM / DOOMED SONGS
DESCRIPTION:I was walking down the street in Brooklyn\, I see the wall is covered with graffiti.\n\nI see the curses of people\, someone attempt to cover it up today but it will be painted again tomorrow.\nA sore that never heals. The world is full of misery and devastation beyond repair.\nAll things are becoming tangled\, complicated\, a turbulent situation.\nWhat is the reason behind existence?\nThe surveillance of society is an obscure anxiety.\nI can’t escape from such a world\, I must face it as an artist\, as a Japanese person\, as a woman.\nI have come to the chaos of New York City to make art. Every day I wake up with different songs and different dreams.\nFor this project I am projecting my dreams and subconscious mind into the translucent screen.\nI think all things consist of multiple aspects\, and I am willingly trying to understand how they look.\n\nSound installation – WATER BRAIN

SUMMARY:Whispering Cascades
DESCRIPTION:When creating this body of artwork\, I held a Kōan in my mind. \nA Kōan is a question or statement used in Zen practice to provoke deeper understanding.\nA Zen master might give his students this Kōan: “You know the sound of two hands clapping; tell me\, what is the sound of one hand?”. \nMaking art is a contemplative act\, in my process\, I created my own Kōan.\nWhat is it like for water to drop into a space where there is no sound? How does it feel to be in such a place?\nI tried to glimpse the space\, to feel the movement of the water and the different densities of color.\nAs the silent drops fall\, they expand\, moving out from within.\nThe space vibrates\, and the colors have a quiet energy which transports me deeper into the space.\nMy artistic inner voice whispers to me\, and I am seduced by the imagination. I externalize the color\, its movement\, and the timeless inner place of the canvas.

SUMMARY:TEE
DESCRIPTION:” T-shirts as their central media to relate their artwork with casualness\,”\nT-shirt is as known as a casual outfit\, but its value is changed by DESIGN \nIn the exhibition\, each artist treats the t-shirt as a traditional surface\, such as a canvas\, and create artwork and the VALUE also. \nThe Members is a New York based group\, originally formed by six experimental artists. They change the members of every exhibition based on the theme to introduce novelty at every show. The anonymity of the group name removes the boundaries of class\, race and gender.

SUMMARY:MIEKO ANEKAWA SOLO EXHIBITION
DESCRIPTION:“Anekawa’s works demonstrate a curious combination of the ability to immerse the viewer into her wonder-world\, \nbut also render them as mere objective perceivers at the same time. The visual tension within her works lends her images a distinctive power.” \n“Her compositional perfection shows she is working in the Nihon-ga tradition\, \nyet her attempt at abstraction also show her attempt of violently breaking away from preconceived notions of art. Anekawa wishes to explore the combination of tradition and the rejection of tradition in her future works as well.” \n—Erin.K \nClick here to read a full review

SUMMARY:WASTED
DESCRIPTION:Resobox Gallery proudly presents political works from Alex White Mazzarella\, artist and \nFounder of global social art initiative Artefacting. A collection of 17 mixed media paintings and a short video explore WASTED as a landscape\, way of life\, and social condition. \nLarge canvases collage lottery tickets\, food packaging\, and images of nature with colorful paint and pastel to create stories. Portraits of oil drums convert waste into aesthetic loot. Shadow populations are surveyed behind bars and people combine with abandoned rubber tires in metamorphosis. And in the 2011 performance video “Computer Man” the consumer awakes in a far distant land to discover the world that processes and recycles his composition. \nThe work was created during residencies in Brooklyn\, Mumbai and Detroit. \nExhibition visitors will be able to define WASTED for themselves and later see the artist turn the\ndiscourse into a collaborative artwork. \nWhat is wasted? What is not wasted? What can’t be wasted? Why do we get wasted? \n  \nCivic. Mental. Material\nWASTED In Context\nI’ve been staring at this computer screen for days but now\, finally\, I can go out and get WASTED \nNearly $6 billion spent for the 2012 presidential campaign. Economic production or WASTED \nOur Global cities and their material incarnations swell and multiply. But how fast can we run to avoid getting WASTED \nThe Kyoto Protocol.

SUMMARY:RGB
DESCRIPTION:RESOBOX Gallery is proud to present RGB\, solo exhibition of the works of Satoshi Tsuchiyama. Inspired by his personal experience with the earthquake and tsunami in Japan\, Tsuchiyama created two multimedia works\, RGB and The flow and the Geometry.\nIncorporating the elements of entertainment and terror\, each work investigates the boundary of reality and fiction in the contemporary society and mass media. Tsuchiyama’s approach to these notions and the various materials focuses on how to play and fold them. \nIt was my terror and entertainment that are made with the various shapes\, their movements and the three colors of lights. \nThat day\, March 11th 2011\, I was not there when the earthquake hit Japan. I was here in New York\, far away from my home country. The scenes of tsunami waves swallowing the towns of Tohoku and Eastern Kantou were broadcasted on American News channels. It was as if I was watching one of the Hollywood disaster movies. There was no difference that I could see from actors and the news reporters. The cars were like toys. The true tragedy seemed to have a face of entertainment. The sublime power of the chaos was taking over what people there had built\, the order. I was fascinated with the overwhelming abstractions and assemblage with various materials\, wondering how many RGB lights on the large TV-flat screen. What information or emotion did each light convey? \n\nRGB is an interactive sculptural object that consists of the three parts. A minimal diorama of a scene of a disaster stands on the speaker that plays a low sound causing a vibration. Red\, green\, and blue lights are above\, looking down on it and creating the shadow with uncanny color casts. Motion censor detects people and activates the lights. Interactive media artist Taezoo Park supported technical aspect of the work.\nA found footage of a car in the tsunami is manipulated and projected on the parts of a car. The flow and the Geometry shows the sequence of abstract patterns and the rhythm. Its continuous births of geometric forms becomes a flux on the surface of the car\, the work wanders around with the questions to the materialism.

SUMMARY:Vintage kimono and doll exhibition
DESCRIPTION:An Elegant Rustling of Silk\nThe sensuality of fabrics is one thing that photographs\, especially early photographs\, cannot\ntotally reveal. This sumptuousness — the elegant look and feel of fine silk — was\, and still\nis\, one essential part of that sense of “mysterious cool” that is so admired. We can look at\nfabrics from the Taisho era in the form of kimono that belonged to an elegant lady. This is\na totally different kind of fashion show. Rather than dwelling on the seasons\, or on types of\nkimono\, thanks to the generosity of the Asano Collection\, we will go back to a time when\nthe only synthetic fabric\, rayon\, was a novelty. \n \nAbout Washi Dolls:\nWashi is the light\, strong traditional Japanese paper made by hand from plant fibers. The word washi literally means “Japanese paper”. Today most paper in Japan is made in large automated mills\, but a few hundred families in rural villages continue to make washi by hand in the traditional manner.\nIn this exhibition\, the washi was formed into ningyo or dolls by a master artist about 30 years ago. These are not just any dolls\, though. Each doll in the exhibition represents a Kabuki play or dance-drama. We’ll take a look at these extraordinary dolls\, their costumes\, and the Kabuki plays they represent. \nThe Shimmer of Silk\nOne thing old photographs from Japan cannot do is to show us the shimmer of the silk worn in them. In order to get the feeling of the real thing\, we have to look at and examine elegant silk kimono. Almost unbelievably\, there was a time when synthetic fabrics like polyester simply didn’t exist. Can we even imagine it? Join us on Valentine’s Day for a hands-on lecture as we enjoy the luxurious feeling of natural fibers. Find out the difference between real and fake shibori\, between the concepts of hade and shibui\, and about some of the textile designs\, materials and techniques. \nAfterwards\, we’ll enjoy a bit of chocolate and champagne! \nHelen Moss (Fujima Nishiki-no 藤間錦乃) teaches and performs Japanese classical dance in the elegant Soke Fujima style.\nAs a “spokesdancer\,” she has given workshops and lecture /demonstrations to introduce people of all ages to the beauty of dance and Japanese culture throughout the New York area\, recently leading an artist-in-residency series of workshops at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. \nMs. Moss writes and performs concert narration explaining the dances to increase the audience’s understanding and enjoyment. A classically-trained violinist/violist\, she has a unique approach to teaching Japanese dance musically to non-Japanese students\, enabling them to better interpret the dance. \nMs. Moss is the founding Secretary and one of the instructors with IchiFuji-kai Dance Association\, a multicultural non-profit organization representing the Soke Fujima style in the greater New York City area.

SUMMARY:Who Was Not Created By A Woman
DESCRIPTION:Who Was Not Created By A Woman?\nThe mother’s vagina is the portal to the world. Ayakoh Furukawa’s work of vagina explores universality of motherhood. \nInside our mothers’ womb\, we are protected as a singular newborn life. However\, once we enter into the world\, we are inevitably faced with the irrationalities of the world\, and thus forget the original connection with our mothers. In other words\, within the realm of the mother’s womb\, we cannot be separated from our mothers. \nOur mother’s womb might have been an Eden of Earth\, and we are entangled in a constant struggle to regain that site. By becoming mothers and experiencing maternal instinct\, women realize the gender bestowed upon them. On the other hand\, men would never physically become mothers\, and could never possess their mothers as their own. \nFurukawa’s knitted objects convey her sense of loss for not becoming a mother\, as well as her subconscious want of bringing her mother\, who she left in Japan\, within her reach. \nThe women in her text drawings captivate viewers through their strong presence and gaze. Moreover\, they express an universal beauty that differs from commercialized images of women. \nThis exhibition presents the conflict between humanism\, her views as a human\, and feminism\, her beliefs as a woman\, within the artist.

SUMMARY:The Child is Gone
DESCRIPTION:This body of work deals with subjects of loss\, grief\,   hope and renewal. It\nrelates to times in our lives when great forces seem to determine our fate\, sometimes hazardously. This is the situation in both my country\, Israel\, and in Japan. Israel – where an ongoing war conflict keeps threatening the region\, and Japan – a country that suffered the traumas of war and of a devastating tsunami\, and is now still recovering from both. \nMany of the sculptures in the show are of small children. The child is a symbol of hidden wishes\, innocence and renewal. At the same time\, there is an apprehension that what is now most vulnerable may later become part of the front-line of a conflict. This awareness to the beauty and fragility of life is very prominent in Japanese culture (as exemplified by one of its famous symbols – the cherry blossom). \nIn addition to children\, pregnancy is also a recurring theme in my pieces. It signifies transformation and change\, it is both the creation of a new life and the fundamental change of another. I found inspiration in mythology and symbols from different cultures\, mostly involving female characters. One of them was the story of Izanami-no-Mikoto\, a Japanese goddess of both creation and death\, and the creator of the first land together with her husband. It touches upon themes of fertility\, death\, land and chance which I explore in my work.

SUMMARY:GREEN EARTH
DESCRIPTION:Bertille de Baudinière at Resobox Japanese Gallery presents her Green Earth paintings from 1989 in Tokyo together with her recent work in New York on the same theme. Her earlier work was inspired by the inherent harmony with nature found in Japanese culture.  Twenty years later\,  Bertille looks at this idea differently\, in light of a growing environmental crisis and in the wake of the Fukushima disaster. \nIn Baudinière ‘s original series of paintings\, Green Earth refers to “a Nihonga pigment of the same name.  Symbol of the link that unites man and nature\, Green Earth celebrates the cosmic dimension of Japanese Buddhism\, the essential idea that man and the smallest part of grass are both part of a whole….. The artist paints the ideal space of a harmonious universe\, of a calm living organism.”1 \nHer recent work takes a broader view of “ Green Earth”. Baudinière writes : \nThe recent anniversary of the tsunami and Fukushima disaster made me aware of my time in Japan where I completed in 1989 my Green Earth series of paintings. \nMy exhibit “Green Earth “ is a continuation of my research during the 1980’s when global warming was not a real issue. Even if Japan was already covered with electric wires\, the landscape of this island was paradise and the essence of beauty. \n1. Elisabeth Lievre-Crosson\, “Blue Earth”\, retrospective catalogue\, 2005 \n  \nレソボックス・ジャパニーズ・ギャラリーにてベルティーユ・デュ・ボーディニエールが1989年に東京で発表した「緑土」と同じテーマに基づいた最近の作品を発表する。初期の作品は日本の文化に見受けられる自然との調和に影響されていた。福島の災害と増大する環境危機を踏まえ、20年経った今、ベルティーユは同じテーマを別の角度から見ている。 \n当初、「緑土」は「同名の日本画の色。人類と自然をつなぐシンボル。人類も小さな“芝”も全体をおりなす一部分であるという日本の仏教の宇宙観を賞賛し、芸術家が静かに生きる生物が織り成す調和の取れたユニバースの理想を描き出している」1ものであった。 \n最近の彼女の作品は「緑土」をより広範囲にとらえている。ボーディニエールは、こう言っている。 \n「最近の津波そして福島の被害の1周年を向かえ、私は1989年に完成した自分の“緑土”シリーズについて考えさせられました。今回の展示は地球温暖化がまだ真剣に捉えられていなかった80年代の探求の延長線上にあります。たとえ、日本が電線で覆われていたとしても、この国の地形は楽園と美の基本を備えた風景である」。 \nPart of the proceeds from the art sales in the exhibition will be donated to JEN\, non-governmental organization for the victims of Tsunami and Earthquake happened in Japan 2011. Thank you for the support of Ms. Keiko Kiyama and Ms. Hamasaka from JEN. \n本展での作品売り上げの一部は東日本大地震被害者支援のために特定非営利活動法人ジェン（JEN  – 担当：木山氏・浜坂氏）に寄付されます。 \nClick here for Official page of JEN \nPhotos from the Opening Reception\n             \n

SUMMARY:Art From The Earth
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist\, Yasumitsu Morito is going to show his latest work\, a collaborative piece of western ceramic and Japanese traditional pottery from Mashiko. \n\nReview by Gavin Keeney / Agence ‘X’ \nMorito Yasumitsu \nIf the work of art is a type of index that always encompasses a much larger world within its singular form\, primarily through the wizardry of the artist\, but also through the very nature of the materiality of the artwork\, then Morito Yasumitsu’s sculpture\, while figurative and in many senses working against the grain of present-day representational values\, also contains a secret record of his youth digging clay out of the hills of Mashiko\, Japan\, the mixing of silica and other minerals for glazing\, and the multiple experiences of working in a traditional ceramics studio under his father’s guidance and gaze. \nThis apprenticeship\, as in all cases of journeyman activities (modern and pre-modern)\, is written into the work. What is not written into the work is the evolving relationship to art in its current manifestation as privileged object for an art world that is driven by the collection\, circulation\, and re-selling of the artwork as hyper-commodity. Yasumitsu’s work contains a traditional bias that resists all of that. What make it extraordinary nonetheless are the artistic qualities that include but exceed what passes today as “sculpture.” The gracefulness of the figures is misleading in this regard. The clay and the textures\, the postures and the sensuality are all by contemporary standards “archaic\,” and one senses not the influence of the great present-day exemplars of installation art as sculpture nor even the ironic and iconic works of late-modern masters (for example\, Louise Bourgeois plus Jeff Koons) but instead Houdon plus Rodin\, or neo-classicism as it edges toward modernism\, all in gentle defiance of the dictates of the market. \nAs no artist worth his or her salt would capitulate to what is fashionable\, and no one brought up through the traditional apprenticeships of yesterday would willingly submit to the law of the art market today\, there is in Yasumitsu’s work\, as a result\, a beautiful confluence of respect for materiality and form plus an edginess that might be said to index a larger conversation with a “lost” relationship to the past and the wider world that includes the source of sculpture in its material expression – the Earth proper. To inquire into this work is to exit through a door that leads back to Mashiko\, into the mountains\, and – ultimately – into an alliance with art that acts in concert with the most elemental ethical precepts that are arguably always buried in art awaiting excavation (not unlike “clay”). \n  \nGavin Keeney/Agence ‘X’ \nMarch 15\, 2012 \nCopyright Gavin Keeney 2012.
