今週金曜日、デンマークからQuadronがBay Areaにやってきます。

そのQuadronライブで、Aoi x Noa-としてライブペイントで参加します！
会場のMosaic LoungeはSan Joseダウンタウンに位置するHotel Sheratonのレストラン／バー。いい雰囲気で、外にはオープンなPatioもあってリラックスできる空間です。

今月は本当に盛りだくさんでかなり忙しいけれど、これだけ色々なopportunityがあるというのは嬉しい事です。San Joseまでは車で一時間ほどなので、San Francisco近郊の人は足をのばしてみるのもいいかも！？

QUADRON (http://myspace.com/quadronquadron) hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark was born when Robin encountered Coco at the suggestion of a friend. Already a name within Owusu & Hannibal and Boom Clap Bachelors, Robin was ready to continue his collaborations with some new adventures. In the ingénue of Coco he saw a female muse, influenced by Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill, and the group was born.

After the duo, who are also members of the soul collective Boom Clap Bachelors, enjoyed the accolades of the collectives debut Kort Før Dine Læber (2008); Robin and Coco began work on their own debut recording for Quadron. This lead to the release of their debut, “Quadron”, in Denmark (August 2009). The record found its way into the hands of Anthony Valdez, a DJ at the influential radio station KCRW in LA. He immediately began playing the record and the rest of the DJs followed. Since the end of 2009, Quadron has been a constant fixture in KCRW’s Top 10 and hundreds of top music blogs, and this led to the duo signing to the Los Angeles label, Plug Research, whose roster includes Bilal, Dntel, Flying Lotus, Daedelus and more.

Robin has already enjoyed a long list of collaborations with the likes of Aloe Blacc, Om mas Keith of Sa-Ra, Buraka Som Sistema, Wally Badarou (Talking Heads, Level 42), Erick Sermon, and others as well as being able to site such notable fans as Pharrell Williams (N.E.R.D.) and James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem). Now, along with Coco, Quadron becomes his next spectacular story!

Adam Flores Solo Exhibition “FROM THERE TO HERE” @ Gallery Heist, opening last night. I was trying to get there early to help out preparing the show but my car’s engine started to shake like having a seizure, all of a sudden – and finally made it out there with my friend’s car.

Fresh, deep and refined. I need to take a minute to contemplate in front of these works again.

Mike Giant just came in..

Yui first time at Heist

Lovely friends + Henry Lewis with “peaaaacccee!”

Mike & Adam.

Adam Flores & Me ;-)

Thank you everyone who came to the show. Thank you Adam Flores for your awesome works!

気がつけばもはや６月。
誕生月の水無月、予定盛りだくさんです。
書道講習会、ライブペイント、Group Show。そしてビザも。
しかし、2010年も半分過ぎてしまったのかと思うと、本当に時の経つのは早いものだなと実感します。
今月は、私にとってかなり今後を左右する大事な月になりそうです。
淡々と日々の課題をこなし、計画をしてはそれを形にする作業の連続だけど、人生計画というのはわくわくするもの。
できるだけ逐一アップしていきます。

今日６月２日は、私の父親の誕生日。私と３０歳離れているお父さんは、私の人生の師匠であり、心の友でもあります。いつも厳しくも寛大で、愛情を注いでくれるお父さんの存在は、海外でひたすら頑張る娘にとっては心の支えです。お父さん誕生日おめでとう。そしていつもありがとう。

June. Its’ already June…wow, so fast.
My birthday is coming up in two weeks, and I have lots of plans and tasks to accomplish this month.
Calligraphy workshop this Sunday in Sycamore, live painting at two events, group show, and VISA.
June is an important month that will determine my future – I have been planning projects, events and shows, and working to make them happen. Life is what you design, and life planning brings you excitement. I’ll try to keep updating this blog to inform what’s going on in my life & in the city!

– June 2nd is my dad’s birthday. Born 30 years before me, he is and has always been my educator, master, and my soulmate. Thank you dad, for your love and support, my life is not happening without you. Happy birthday… my love and respect for you.

Asian Heritage Street Celebration & GAIA @GalleryHeist

Me.

Taiko.

I shared a booth with Taiko Fujimura, an mixed media artist based in San Francisco. She is also a member of S.I.R. crew that I organize since the exhibition “Four Elements vol.3 EARTH”. We arrived at the venue 8:30 in the morning, set up the booth, and welcomed visitors of the Street Fair. Upon people’s request, I wrote their favorite words, phrases and names in Japanese on a colored origami washi paper. Thank you everyone who stopped by the booth!

After packing everything up, I headed over to Gallery Heist. We had an opening night for Brooklyn / Baltimore based artist GAIA. We had stayed up all night for T-shirts printing and preparing for the show, and explored Mission / Valencia 3 in the morning to hit some walls… Super hectic, but super exciting. It has been really inspiring days; interacting artists from East coast, immersed myself in the street art scene, creating, talking, dancing and drinking… made me focus back to my own goal. Aim high!

Hot & Sour Soup and me.

Four Elements vol. 4 風 -WIND- / Saturday May 1st, 2010 / Final series of four exhibitions.

I had four Japanese calligraphy for exhibition:

We can’t see the form of wind, but we can see the force of wind in our environment – the swinging tree branches, trembling leaves, subtle scent of fragrance, sea waves, or movement of your girlfriend’s hair – in numerous ways. My theme was to embody this invisible force of wind in three different ways in terms of its strength and seasonal characters through different styles of brush stroke techniques in Japanese calligraphy.

薫風 Balmy Zephyr
19×19″

風雪　Blizzard
19×19″

春風　　Spring Breeze
27×40″

「はるかぜ
ぼくをつれ去る
まばたきのしゅんかんに」

(on the left)

疾風 Whirlwind
19×19″

Live painting with Noa-. I started to write “wind” in powder blue.

Removed masking tapes of cherry blossom flower petal. Adding gold shadows.

Thinking where to write my signature next to Noa-‘s…

Thank you for watching, everyone!! ;-)

Awakened by the scents of Springtime released into gentle breezes, animal life rises from hibernation beneath fertile soil into the fresh WIND: the voice of nature.
Through art and media, Surreality in Reality (S.I.R.) has been exploring the elements, WATER, FIRE, EARTH, and now WIND, to bridge cultures with an awareness of nature inspired by the ancient Japanese philosophy of harmony between the four elements. In this final exhibition completing the cycle of our series, the S.I.R. Japanese Art Collective is preparing a space for the invisible force of WIND, it’s power finding expression with a live performance, an exhibition, and in carrying the music.

久しぶりのブログになってしまいましたが、ついにSIRのFour Elementsシリーズも完結を迎えようとしています。今回は「風」です。先週はジャパンタウンで大々的に桜祭りが開催され、ここ最近は春を感じる風が肌に気持ちのいい日々です。進化を遂げているSpace GalleryでSIRがショーを始めてからもう２年になります。早いもんだなぁー。今回でSIR参加が最後になるメンバーも沢山います。私にとっては、かなり思い入れのあるショーになります。
みなさんぜひ遊びに来てくださいね！

先週の桜祭りの模様はこちら。↓

＊＊＊＊

あ、そういえば、忙しくてなかなかイベントなどに顔を出せてない中、Thom YorkeのソロプロジェクトのAtoms for Peaceのライブに行ってきました。Atoms for Peace のベースはあのRed Hot Chili PeppersのFlea！！これがほんとに最高すぎて、私の心の中は大変な事になりました。Radioheadとレッチリは、私が高校時代からかなり入れこんできたバンド。ずっとDub StepやElectronicaのDJ系のイベントやJazzのコンサートに行っていたので、やっぱりロックの生バンドはいいなと改めて思わせられたショーでした。

改装されたばかりのFox Theater! 息をのむライティング。

前座はFlying Lotus。この間MezzanineにもFlying Lotusを見に行ったけれど、彼のライブは相変わらずベースぶんぶんの爆音で、彼のライブをより楽しむにはどんなEQが必要なのか考えてしまいました。そしてさらに、回りのお客さんは前座だと思って、ぺちゃくちゃおしゃべり。自分が目玉ではないライブでプレイするときに、自分の音も名前も聞いた事無いというお客さんの心をいかに掴むか。いい音創って、ショーのクオリティがやばいなら、お客さんも自然に反応するはず。「お、誰だこれ？！」と。Flying Lotusがセットを終えてバックに戻るとき、ステージに近い席のお客さんたちはかなりの声援をあげていました。やはり、日々自分の世界を極めていく事なのだな。

今週はBonoboがまたやってきます。
WINDの為の書道の作品を頑張って終わらせて、Bonobo行けるようにがんばろう。

大地の足跡を振り返る

NYCでの二度目のショー。今回は、書道作品の展示はせず、パフォーマンスだけに集中。

『地跡』

足を踏み入れると、そこは荒野だった
植物は枯れ果て、大地は乾き、生物は姿を消していた。
青ざめた月が、音の無いくたびれた地を見下ろしていた。
太陽はどこかに消えてしまったようだ。

ひっそりとした静寂の中を、艶やかに。
衣を身に纏い、鳥とともに唄い、風とともに木々の間をすり抜け、
新たな光を求めて舞う。

太陽のあくび
星の瞬き
若芽のひるね
大地の鼓動

いのちの音を聴く
大地が奏でるいのちの音に耳を傾ける

歴史というのは人類の進化の足跡に他ならない
腐敗と再生を繰り返すその足跡を辿る　ー　その一戦が「歴史」という概念を創る
生命の精が大地の鼓動を蘇らせ、強くする
単色かつ単調であったその音を、
生き生きとしたハーモニーへと塗り替えてゆく

「地跡」
その自然の在り方を尊い、礼賛する大地の協奏曲
星が瞬き奏でるチャイムや
風の鼻歌のように

Visual Projection by Martin Söderblom

地跡、パフォーマンス開始数分前。
ダンサーのみかちゃんに、ただ音楽を感じて、自由に舞って欲しいと伝えた。
ひび割れた大地。
生命の影のない荒野。
青ざめた月。
消えた太陽。
そこに足を踏み入れ、絶望に打ちひしがれる自然の精。
その精の肢体の触れるところから、生命が蘇る。
乾いた大地に水が湧き立ち、木々は枝を伸ばし、花は咲き乱れる。

普段はほとんど緊張しない。
程よい緊張感を胸に感じながら、彼女の動きを目で追い、足を強く踏みしめた所に筆で詩を足跡のように記す。
紘子ちゃんの手によって描かれ創られた衣装を纏い、墨にまみれていく彼女の体と、張り付く裸足の足の裏。
白く塗られた新聞は黒いストロークに染められて行き、彼女の強いステップで最初の一箇所が破れた。
私はそこに蒼ざめた月を見た。底無しに黒く暗い。

死から再生へと向かう過程と、それが繰り返されて刻まれて来た歴史を、30分のインプロビゼーションで表現しようという試みだった。在音の音が、このストーリーを形にしてくれた。時の経過を具現化する最大要素がこの「音」という要素だからだ。
音をキーにして、パフォーマンスは進む。
物語は進む。

最高な経験をした。
音楽はイメージ通りだった。
精の舞いもイメージ通りだった。
歓喜の讃美歌だった。
彼の音を、欲しいと思った。
自由に筆を運んだ、無我夢中で運んだ。

そして最後に、精はその足跡の一部となった。美しく描かれたいのちの再生の絵画の中に、還り、ひとつとなった。

地跡は、宙に吊るされた。
破れた穴の数だけ、黒く残された足跡の数だけ、踏みしめられた大地のありかたの様な、大きな一枚だ。

ありがとう。
これで私もまた一歩前に進める。

このショーの計画から実現までに関わってくれたアーティストのみんな、ありがとう。
会場でこの空間を共有してくれたみなさん、サンフランシスコからはるばる見に来てくれた応援隊、ありがとう！

In NYC: 地跡 CHISEKI -Traces of Nature-

Posted on February 27th, 2010 by Aoi

lightbox

Stepping into a silent desolate field
Dressed in blessings from mother earth

The spirit of nature sketched
Footprints on a parched ground
Swirls in dance rustling the petals of
Dying flowers and leaves of trees

Reaching out to a pale moon
The spirit’s warm kiss embraces all existence
On the planet reviving a sun’s essence

History is nothing more than human evolution
Traced in decomposition and rejuvenation
Cultivated along winding paths where
Spirit empowers even the heartbeat of the earth
Repainting the drone of monotonous undertone
Into vibrant harmonies unfamiliar yet known

Chi (地-earth) Seki (跡-trace)
In celebration makes a
Tangible incarnation of earthy ensemble
Like stars strung by lightening that chime and hum
In delicate breeze pleasantry

Join us as we immortalize life through
Performance, art/installation and sound
Rooted in the movement of nature
Creating space for the
Blossoming spring within

＊

Japanese artists now living in Sweden, San Francisco, and New York explore the theme of ChiSeki through installation, performance, visual and photography in hopes of leaving a trace of human distinctions in reverence of the natural order of life.

ChiSeki features Aoi Yamaguchi, Hiroko Tsuchimoto, Martin Soderblom, Mika Yanaguhara, Zaion, Tokio Kuniyoshi, Yoko Furusho, Akko Terasawa, PESU and Yasuaki Okamoto.

The opening reception event of ChiSeki at 310 Lounge, located on 310 Bowery in New York, will be held on Sunday, March 7th, 2010 from 8pm – 2am. The live performance will begin at 10:30pm on the night of the reception event. The exhibition will be on display through March 14th and is open to the public.

ついに、昨日NYC行のチケットを取りました。
「地跡」は、ほぼ２年前に札幌で個展をした時に、自然に根ざしたテキスタイルデザイナーの紘子ちゃんと「スウェーデンとサンフランシスコの間をとって、ニューヨークでショーがしたいね」とぽろりと話して盛り上がったことから始まりました。素材から布を作り、自然の恵みからできた染料で染められてできる彼女のファブリックと、同じく自然の恵みを素材とする和紙と墨を使う書道とのコラボレーションが出来ないかというところから、「大地の足跡」というコンセプトに。
サンフランシスコの戦友Akkoと、アルバムリリースにより脂ののっている在音と共に、そしてサンフラン時代からの友人の名フォトグラファー、トキオ氏との連携により、この計画が形になりました。
３月７日（日）、ニューヨークです。
みなさん会場でお会いしましょう！
