  • Intractable Chasm
    MEDIA CONTACT: Sina McLin Arts and Communication Administrator 918-585-1234 [email protected] PRESS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TULSA – JULY 9, 2019 LIVING ARTS ANNOUNCES JAVE YOHIMOTO’S SOLO EXHIBITION: INTRACTABLE CHASM. Opening Friday, September 6th, 2019, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM Living Arts will present our September-October exhibition, Jave Yoshimoto: Intractable Chasm. This exhibition will feature works that examine the refugee crisis in Greece, experienced firsthand by Yoshimoto when he volunteered at a refugee camp. The exhibit consists of wood reliefs, paintings, and an interactive exhibit with sculptural work, recordings, and generated instructions. The exhibition will remain open through October 18th, 2019. Artist Statement: My work takes on the ephemerality of news and information and how the emotions we bring to each tragedy in the news cycle are swept away by the wave of information that floods the media. I address this social amnesia through my art with the work acting as a social memory for tragic events so quickly forgotten in our information age. I have researched my current topic of humanitarian crises by employing images of contemporary disasters. As a way to attain better personal understanding, I have volunteered to help with earthquake relief in both Japan and Nepal, as well as with the refugee crisis in Greece to gather first-hand, on the ground stories so that the audience can begin to understand the difficulties from around the globe that still challenges us today. The stories I gather are then used to construct my compositions, which is then completed as paintings on paper, or drawn digitally to create laser carved, and hand-built wood relief block sculptures.

    ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES IRL: Investigating Reality A Group Show Curated by Indira Cesarine THE UNTITLED SPACE 45 Lispenard Street, NYC June 6 – 21, 2019 THE UNTITLED SPACE 45 LISPENARD STREET UNIT 1W NYC 10013 EMAIL: [email protected] CURATORIAL STATEMENT “We live in a culture so immersed in social media, it is often impossible to distinguish reality from the edited, retouched, fantasy lives led online. As we become more dependent on the digital world, we equally crave authenticity and the truth. “IRL” which is an abbreviation of the term “in real life” is a phrase that emerged in the early days of the internet when people saw a need to distinguish things that were presented online versus the realities of offline or the “real world”. The expression “irl” has become increasingly relevant as apps and edited realities created for likes shift the paradigm towards unrealistic and often unobtainable virtual worlds that defy reality with perfect holidays, perfect bodies, cyber romances, and artificial followers. I felt it was time to get back to “IRL” and invited an international selection of emerging and established contemporary artists of all genders and generations to “investigate reality.” The exhibit explores this narrative with works that are often very intimate, works charged with self-interrogation, vignettes of reality, explorations of realism, revelations of private lives, as well as works full of satire and humor that address the intersection of the digital and physical worlds. What does “IRL” or “in real life” mean to you? As we become more connected are we becoming more disconnected? As our computer monitors and smartphones take over our lives, we find ourselves longing for nature, for tangible connections, and genuine experiences.
