SUMMARY:Murakami Music: Stories of Loss and Nostalgia
DESCRIPTION:Performance Overview\nCreated by pianist Eunbi Kim\, in collaboration with actress Laura Yumi Snell\, and director Kira Simring\, Murakami Music is a performance piece inspired by the works of contemporary Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami\, an author whose books have been translated into fifty languages\, and sold millions of copies. His works reference classical music\, as well as popular music\, jazz and blues. \n Murakami Music has been lauded and featured on Japanese television network\, FujiTV\, and most recently profiled in the documentary\, “The World Reads Murakami\,” on NHK\, Japan’s national public broadcasting organization. \nA dramatic work\, this program includes performances of piano works with theatrical readings that explore the complexities of the lives behind the pianists in Murakami’s books including Sputnik Sweetheart\, Kafka on the Shore\, and Norwegian Wood. \n\nMurakami Music: Stories of Loss and Nostalgia (Promotional Video)\n \n\nOur Fundraising Campaign\nEunbi Kim (left) and Laura Yumi Snell (right)\nWe are raising funds to offset production costs and to provide artist fees for all the hard-working\, talented\, and creative people involved in this passion project. Ticket sales alone rarely cover all the expenses for a performance\, such as printing and designing programs and materials\, the space rental\, technical lighting\, artist fees\, etc. \nIn return\, we invite you to our VIP Reception Party\, a RESOBOX cafe date complete with their famous matcha latte and sushi\, backstage access and open rehearsals\, and a private house concert for you and all your friends. \n※ To find out more about our fundraising campaign\, visit our IndieGoGo Campaign Site!

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:Calling All Crocheters for the World Amigurumi Exhibition in NY this December!
DESCRIPTION:RESOBOX Gallery\, a Japanese cultural center\, is planning to hold a “World Amigurumi Exhibition” starting December 12\, 2014.\nThe event page: https://resobox.com/amigurumi-world-14/\nOur goal is to completely fill our gallery space with at least 3\,000 amigurumi. We want to turn the gallery into an “amigurumi room”\, filled to the brim with cuddly and cute! This is a unique exhibition in that it’s not displaying an individual artist\, but a concept. The concept\, amigurumi\, is a culture that began in Japan\, but is now cherished by crocheters all over the world. We were so inspired by the amount of amigurumi artists out there that we decided to embark on a journey to create an exhibition showcasing the united\, global love of this cute craft! \nBut we need your help! This is quite a feat and one crocheter can’t do it alone. We need amigurumi contributions from crocheters everywhere to make this exhibition happen! \n\nBasic Exhibit Information\n\nDuration: December 12\, 2014 to February 28\, 2015\nLocation: RESOBOX Gallery in New York (41-26 27th St\, Long Island City\, NY 11101) / www.resobox.com\nIt would be great if you could come to NY during the exhibition\, but you don’t have to. Our staff will take care of your Amigurumi (sales\, display\, shipping or etc.))\nAll pieces from the various contributing amigurumi artists will be for sale during the exhibition term.\nArtist retains ownership of all work consigned to or represented by RESOBOX Gallery.\nEach work should have a small loop (fishing line\, thread\, yarn\, etc. is fine) so we can easily hang the piece on the wall (see below)\n\n\nPlease attach a loop like this to each of your pieces.\nShipping Your Amigurumi To Us\nPlease send up to 100 amigurumi pieces eligible for sale to: \nRESOBOX Gallery \n41-26 27th Street \nLong Island City\, New York\, USA 11101 \n\n  \nPlease note:\n\n\nThe artist is responsible for the transport of amigurumi pieces to and from the gallery\, including any costs related thereto.\nEach artist can send up to 100 amigurumi pieces. All pieces should be for sale.\nAll amigurumi must arrive by November 30th at RESOBOX Gallery.\nThe artist should certify each work as being “Baby-safe” or “Not baby-safe” that the eyes are safety eyes or embroidered\, that the little appendages can’t be pulled off and swallowed\, and probably that the stuffing can’t be pulled out either\, especially if some of those little pellets are used.\nThe artist should certify either that the work is his/her original pattern\, or that the person who created the pattern has given them the right to sell that particular design (please check it out on their website).\n\n\nFees and Commission\n\nRetail sales price for each consigned artwork will be established by the gallery in consultation with artist.\nCommission when sale occurs: Commission varies depending on the number of pieces\nPayment will be sent within 10 days after the end of the exhibition unless there is a special request by an artist.\nThe gallery is responsible for all marketing fees of the exhibit such as postcards/flyers\, drinks for the opening reception\, event webpage\, promotion to media/press\, etc.\n\n\nInterested artists should send us the following information to info@resobox.com:\n\n\n\n\n\nYour name (or artist name)\nYour contact information (Country\, email address and phone number)\nAn approximate number of pieces you’d like to send us\, up to 100 (NOTE: The number can be changed before shipping in December. We may ask each artist to send more pieces during the exhibition if many are sold.)\nIf there are any oversized pieces\, please specify the size.\nYour website’s URL (Etsy\, Flicker\, etc.)\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please send an email to info@resobox.com or call (718) 784-3680 (Mon – Sat\, 11am-5pm). \n\nFrequently Asked Questions\n– Are you going to publish an article about this exhibition anywhere?  \nYes. We will make a press release by November 12th and deliver to as many media outlets as we can all over the world (in English). Unfortunately\, we can’t have all images of all artists included in the press release\, but will list all participating artists’ names and web pages. We may ask you for some contacts of media in your local area (especially outside US). \n– What type of amigurumi are you looking for? \nThis time we didn’t set up specific theme so we are accepting all types of amigurumi. However\, we can’t accept amigurumi based on licensed characters. \n– I didn’t create the patterns for my pieces. \nPlease check the original creator’s website. Normally\, there are some comments about if you can sell the pieces based on their pattens. We will only accept works that are originals or have the permission from the original creator. \n– If my amigurumi arrive at RESOBOX after the November 30th deadline because of a post delay\, is that okay? \nOur exhibition starts on December 12th\, so we will still have 12 days after the end of November\, but just in case something happens in customs\, we are asking participants to send their pieces by the end of November. Moreover\, December 12th is our opening party\, so we’d like to have the most amount of pieces by then\, but we WILL accept more pieces after that. \n– Commission \nThe commission that the gallery takes varies depending on the number of pieces to be exhibited. \n1-5 pieces: 50% commission to the gallery \n6-10: 40% \n11-20: 35% \n21-50: 25% \n51-75: 15% \n76-100: 5% \n– May I send all the things for gift-wrapping the amigurumi (paper bag\, ribbons\, etc…)? \nWe will gift-wrap your amigurumi when a sale occurs. Unfortunately\, we can’t accept custom gift-wrapping from each participant. Thank you for your understanding. \n– Can I include my own tag? \nWe will attach a small tag to each amigurumi with each artist’s shop name\, contact info\, baby safe or not\, and price. But\, if your amigurumi already have a tag\, that’s okay too. Moreover\, we will add the same tag information on our web page as well. \n– Who will bear the shipping and return shipping costs if my items aren’t sold? \nArtists are responsible for all shipping costs (to and from New York). Unsold pieces will be returned to you. The gallery will not buy your pieces. We will first calculate the cost of the shipping of your unsold pieces and the profit that you make during the exhibition. And then\, if there is a surplus on your side\, we will send the unsold pieces as well as the profit that you make to your account through PayPal or bank wire. If not\, once we confirm the payment received from you\, we will send unsold pieces back to you. You need to pay to us the cost of shipping from NY to your place. Once we confirm the payment received to our account from you\, we will ship your unsold items back to you. \n– May I send the same character with a different color scheme? Do the pieces submitted all have to be different\, or can they be duplicates of the same piece?   \nDuplicates are totally fine whether they are the exact same or different colors/styles. \n– Is it possible to send business cards to go with the amigurumi to gain exposure? \nWe apologize\, but we can’t accept flyers or business cards from each artist. However\, if you attach your contact/store information on the tag of your amigurumi\, that is completely fine. If you don’t\, we will put a small tag on each piece and write the price\, your name\, and your contact information (e.g. email address\, website address). \n– How will you establish the retail prices? \nEach artist can decide the price of each of their pieces. After we receive your price list and amigurumi contributions\, we will contact you if we believe a price is inappropriate. (If you don’t hear from us\, please assume that your prices are okay with us.) \n– Will there be any kind of opening reception? \nYes\, of course! As our gallery does every month\, we will have an opening party on December 12th (time is yet to be decided). If you can make it to New York\, please join us! \nDo you need a detailed list of all of the amigurumis I’m sending? And if so\, what information should be on this list ? \nYes\, we will need a detailed list of amigurumi from each artist. Please send the following information by email. The list does not need to be included in the package: \n1) Name of each piece (if there is a name) \n2) Price for each \n3) Baby safe or not \n4) Any other things that the gallery should know \n– Do you take full responsibility for the dolls stock during the exhibition?  \nUnfortunately\, we cannot provide artists with compensation for lost items. Also\, reasonable efforts will be made to protect consigned artwork from accidental damage\, breakage or lost items but insurance liability for accidental damage or breakage is not provided by the gallery.

SUMMARY:Glimpsing Vistas of Meiji Japan\, 1870-1890
DESCRIPTION:Dance Performance and Lecture on the Burns Archive Collection\nVisit Resobox’s exhibition of 19th century photographs of Japan from the Burns Archive\, and view the subjects of rice\, silk and tea from an entirely new perspective. There will be a short nihonbuyo dance performance by one of our senior students\, Yoshiko Furuse before the lecture. Then\, Helen Moss will take a look at the products and the photographs represented in this exhibition from different angles\, including the aspects of ritual\, manual processing\, and the rapid industrialization that took place during the Meiji era. \n* Complimentary sake will be served! \n\nAbout the Burns Collection\nThe Burns Collection was established in 1975 by Stanley B. Burns\, MD\, FACS\, a New York City ophthalmologist and photo-historian. The Collection focuses on unique images not available elsewhere\, and has been generally recognized as the most important private comprehensive collection of early photography. The Burns Archive\, with over a million historic photographs\, is best known for images of the darker side of life – death\, disease\, crime\, racism\, revolution and war – however\, a large part of the collection depicts aspects of social and cultural life. \nA favorite and compelling part of the Collection are nineteenth-century Japanese hand-painted photographs. Working together\, Dr. Burns and his daughter Elizabeth\, wrote Geisha: A Photographic History 1872-1912. It explores the life and culture of Geisha during the Meiji Era with a comprehensive history of photography in Japan. They have also produced several exhibitions. They have been especially pleased to present at the Resobox Gallery in 2012 Geisha: The Golden Years 1870-1890\, in 2013 Working Life in Meiji Japan and in 2014 Japan – An Island Nation: 1870-1890. \nBurns Archive: http://www.burnsarchive.com/

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.

This performance was inspired by and arranged from the Japanese traditional tea ceremony. The original ceremony consists of a variety of manners to drink tea properly\, but to experience this ceremony fully\, it’s best to simply drink with a style you favor most. The most interesting practice would be focusing your thoughts on the tea master for a few minutes without speaking and enjoying the tea in this small silent space. I always serve this tea for whoever sits down in front of me. Red Tea Ceremony -YOU ARE GOD- is always a great tool to communicate universally without any thought of hierarchy. I’ll be happy if we could find any great idea to make better and more enjoyable future throughout this tea ceremony. \nお茶会説明文　(Japanese)\n世界一赤い男のお茶会パフォーマンス。 茶道は偉大なる日本の伝統芸術ですが、現代芸術家・浜崎による茶道は前衛芸術です。前衛とは「芸術」と称される高尚なものを、日常のものに取り戻すための一種の概念です。 外部から遮断された、たった一畳の小宇宙。そこだけが目に見えないバリアーで覆われた異空間。２人だけの無言の対話。 飲み方は自由でその人の人格を表し、感じ方は人それぞれ。 このパフォーマンスはお客様が主役であってボクはただお茶を立てるだけ ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・YOU ARE GOD. タタミ１畳と赤い和傘、金の茶碗を携えて世界中どんな場所ででも「茶会」を催すことが出来るパフォーマンス「RED TEA CEREMONY -YOU ARE GOD-」。日本国内のみならず、ニューヨーク、ラスベガ ス、パリなど海外でも活動を行っている。 中でも1999年に日本人として初めてパフォーマンスを行って以来毎年参加しているネバダ州の砂漠で行われるアートイベント「バーニングマン」では、そのパフォーマンスの様子がイベントを紹介している各国のメディアにおいても、常にメインビジュアルとして取り上げられるほど象徴的な存在として知られている

SUMMARY:Shuten Doji vs State Shinto: Kill la Kill as Modern Otogi-zoshi
DESCRIPTION:Airing from Fall 2013-Spring 2014\, Kill la Kill has taken anime fans by storm\, thanks to its over the top artwork\, quirky characters\, and breakneck pace. But underneath the sailor suits and “schoolyard battles” lies another\, more subtle reading. Borrowing elements from classical “monster stories” like Shuten Doji and the Uji no Hashihime\, Kill la Kill presents an interesting critique of both Meiji Japan and nationalism in history. This lecture explores this reading of the series\, how it parallels the old tales\, and presents a new narrative for engaging and revealing deeper meanings in Japanese animation. \n\n Related Events\nOtogizoshi -BOKUSAI- until August 7th\nMicroscopic Journey – Friday\, July 25th 8~10pm\nKamishibai for Kids – Saturday\, July 26th\, 12:30~2:30 PM

SUMMARY:Kamishibai (Paper Theater) Performance for Kids
DESCRIPTION:What is kamishibai (paper theater)?\nKamishibai comes out of a long tradition of etoki ( picture-narration) in Japan. It began as a street performance art and is a precursor of anime and manga. Kamishibai is still a popular form of entertainment in Japan today. \nAbout the performance\nIn this performance and workshop\, Tara will tell kamishibai folktales relating to oni (demons) and other shape-shifters in Japanese folklore. She will also introduce participants to the history of kamishibai and teach them how to make an early form of kamishibai\, called tachi-e (standing pictures)\, which are based on visual techniques from magic-lantern shows. After the interactive performance\, participants will make their own tachi-e puppets inspired by the stories they have heard. \nRelated Events\nOtogizoshi -BOKUSAI- until August 7th\nMicroscopic Journey – Friday\, July 25th 8~10pm\nKill la Kill Analysis Lecture – Friday\, August 1st\, 8-10pm

SUMMARY:Microscopic Journey : Shuten-doji
DESCRIPTION:Shuten-doji is a mythical oni leader or like an evil yokai in Japan. It has various birth legends. \n“Shuten-doji\, according to one legend\, was born at Ganbara\, Echigo. However\, there is also the idea that from the base of Mt. Ibuki\, where in literature like the Nihon Shoki\, in the legend of the defeat of the giant snake Yamata no Orochi to Susanoo in a battle\, it fled from Izumo to Ōmi\, had a child with a wealthy person’s daughter\, with that child was Shuten-doji. Both father and son had a matchless thirst for sake\, which is often cited as support.(by wikipedia)” \nIn this performance\, Shuten-doji might  be able to be like a score  for performers to create their own images. Also the performance can be expected that the sounds and movement resonate with the exhibition space and excellent works by Shoko Kazama – BOKUSAI. \n  \n\n \n\nRelated Events\nOtogizoshi -BOKUSAI- until August 7th\nKamishibai for Kids –  Sat.\, July 26\, 12:30~2:30pm\nKill la Kill Analysis Lecture – Friday\, August 1st\, 8-10pm

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
