---------------------------------------------------------
「地跡」
人々の生命、生活、文化、歴史がすべて地球における大地の恵みによって育まれ、営まれてきたことから、その大地の足跡をアートを媒体として表現し、見る人にその風化と再生を繰り返して来た大地の歴史とありかたを懐古させる展示＆パフォーマンス。
メインのライブパフォーマンスでは、
自然の素材によって手染めされ創られた布を纏ったダンサーの、自由でオーガニックな動きを追うようにして、書道でその足跡を言葉に置き換えて即興で描いていく。
---------------------------------------------------------

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.

Amanda Diva

Starting off as a young actress on Nickelodeon sitcom, “My Brother and Me” Diva is no stranger to the madness that is showbiz. Moving to New York in 1999 she was exposed and hooked to the hip-hop culture in a completely new way from her hometown Orlando, FL. Soon she was writing and performing on the spoken word poetry scene before being chosen to be on Russell Simmon’s Def Poetry Jam (’02 & ’05). When the director of Sirius Satellite Radio discovered her, she found herself unsuspectingly breaking into the music business as a radio personality on “Breakfast at Diva’s” (’03-’08). During that time she managed to obtained a Master’s in African American studies from Columbia University and also landed her dream job as the face of hip-hop on MTV2 interviewing close to every relevant hip-hop/R&B artist of the last 10 years including Jay-Z, Nas, Mariah Carey, Pharrell Williams, and even acting heavyweights like Tom Cruise and Jamie Fox. Diva’s love for music made a rise to be a recording artist herself releasing numerous EP’s, and she toured/worked with greats like Q-tip, The Roots, and Lupe Fiasco to name a few. She still continues to speak as a culture critic, a comedy commentator, and a music expert on VH1, a host & a creator of “Diva Speak TV”, a host of “Speaking Of…” on Music Choice, a host & a creator of “The Spark” on AOL’s BlackVoices.com, and a star of the reality web show “Technicolor Lover” on Dameon Dash’s CreativeControl. Diva has always expressed a commitment to creativity and originality not only in her music but also her visual arts. Her paintings are known for their vivid and whimsical abstract imagery and intriguing many celebrities including Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz. With murals living from Grenada, Berlin, to New York, her hand painted bag line “Spectrum” having been featured on Karmaloop.com and BET’s “Rip the Runway”. Diva’s work has been recognized globally.

Concep

Concep is Brooklyn's answer to the renaissance ideal of the polymath artist. New Orleans-born Concep's journey in pursuit of intertwining his passion for visual arts, design, and dance led him to Brooklyn, where he has began to lay the foundation to his visionary empire. He gained large notoriety by winning MTV's "Art Battles" competition in 2007 and has since painted for artists in the music industry and painted at events in connection to Swizz Beatz, Rich Medina, and Deeply Madly Living Gallery, Complex Magazine, Girbaud, MTV's “Wild'n Out”, and Scion. His ill skills in street dance also allowed him to be involved in video productions for artist such as Mos Def, Little X, Eric Sermon, Timbaland, and Sa-Ra Creative Partners. His work was shot recently in his Crown Heights' studio in Brooklyn for MTV2's Independent Music Week and MTV Africa's U.S. As a designer, he has worked for urban brands such as Ecko Unlimited, Ruff Ryders, Pony, and he eventually landed a home at Marithé Francois Girbaud, a French brand specializing in premium denim and fashion graphics. His design work is intimately connected with his fine artistry, as you can find textile patterns that serve as inspiration for his design showing up in his paintings, or his paintings getting canvassed on street ware. His growing body of artworks is an unfolding story of the evolution of the self through the language of color. With a special talent for translating ideas, vision and energy, He has an ability to paint concepts, emotions and vibration that has an immediate effect on the observer (similar to the effect of music, which is much harder to achieve in painting). Encoding his key to the secret of life, the ever-present Pythagorean theorem, a2+b2=c2 (a(nthony)2=past, b(rown)2=present, c(oncep)2= future) is a reminder of the infinite possibilities that stretch between life and death, connecting dreams with the path of self-realization.

Riz22

A member of an outcast family from the heart of Ethiopia to modern day Roman America, Riz22 personifies the divinity of creationist expression absent of blueprint or planned conclusions. Alongside having an unlimited arsenal of painted works, there is an extended trailer of erotic comic illustration, political satires, and comedic commentaries of society's kaleidoscopic nature. Clients and patrons of his work include celebrities such as Notorious BIG’s wife, Faith Evans, Clay Aiken of American Idol, and Buttahman of MTV.
