Exhibition of YOKAI IN NEW YORK by Kyoichi Yamada

Gallery Talk:Yokai in New York
1:30 pm – 2:30 pm on Saturday, October 29, 2016

Exhibition of YOKAI IN NEW YORK by Kyoichi Yamada

The Nippon Gallery is pleased to host an exhibition of YOKAI IN NEW YORK by Kyoichi Yamada from October 27 to November 2, 2016. He searched for yokai (ghosts or monsters) hiding in New York, like Pokemon GO hunting, and created his own original paintings from them. We think this kind of exhibition is the first attempt in the USA. We hope a lot of people will enjoy this exhibition.

Yamada is a modern artist from Nagoya City located in the center of Japan. He got interested in yokai at one time, but he didn’t study or research old traditional yokai. He took everything about strange phenomena, eccentric people and unusual buildings as yokai and through his own interpretation he created new yokai. He organized them and published a book. At the same time, because he is an artist, he illustrated pictures of yokai in his book. It was about several months ago when that popular TV program ‘yokai watch’ started on TV.

He stayed in New York for his exhibition in 2014 and got interested in finding yokai also in New York. He visited here again, found out a lot of yokai and published a book titled ‘Yokai in New York’. Of course, he painted pictures for the book as well. In this exhibition 30 paintings out of them are displayed.

In 1964 Yamada was selected for the exhibition, ‘14 Japanese Artists’ held in New York, which was the first exhibition of Japanese artists after the World WarⅡin the USA. He was the youngest of the 14 artists. After that he has won many grand prix at the contest inside and outside Japan. At Wakayama International Printing Biennale, a judge, Sam Francis, a famous American artist, gave Yamada’s work the highest praise and decided that his work was awarded the grand prize.

◎ Gallery Talk:Yokai in New York
1:30 pm – 2:30 pm on Saturday, October 29, 2016
What is yokai? Ghost? Alive or dead? If everything can be yokai, what is it like? What kind of yokai did Yamada find out? He is going to have an interesting and funny talk comparing with Japanese yokai. (The Talk will be conducted in Japanese)

Period October 27(Thursday)-November 2(Wednesday), 2016
Hours 10:00 am – 6:00 pm (Monday – Friday) 10:00 am – 5:00 pm (Saturday)
Location The Nippon Gallery at The Nippon Club

FUNDING FOR YOUR UNPAID INTERNSHIP

katzen-flyer-edited-10-24-16-001

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

So the flyer announcing the 14 $3000 fellowships for unpaid volunteer or internship work toward the common good, has been slightly modified, see the attached. Fast summary:  Students must find their own internship that contributes to the common good and the 230 hours they would need to complete, would be done subsequent to being accepted for the fellowship. The student could be majoring in any of our undergraduate programs and/or may not have decided on a major.

 

This is a terrific opportunity for someone who wants to explore nonprofit or making a contribution toward the common good, etc.  Sites could be in the arts, in hospitals, in political and/or government settings, in nonprofits, in school/college settings etc.  In the past, Katzen fellows have worked at a variety of sites including the ASPCA, God’s Love–We deliver, Social Assurity, March of Dimes, King’s County District Attorney’s Office, Global Potential, United Nations—various permanent missions, New York City Council, Aisecs and Girls Write Now—to name a few.

 

Students could conceivably work 35 hours a week in January and then back down to 14 hours a week when the new semester begins to bring the total number of hours to 230. Or they could commit to 14 to 35 hours a week to bring the total to 230.   Applications are on our website:  www.baruch.cuny.edu/careers or can be picked up at Starr Career Development Center, room 2-150.  Deadline is November 7th.

 

Any questions please Email me at [email protected]    And make the subject heading:

Katzen 2016/17
