FAMILY ∼かぞく(kazoku)
I believe there are variety dimensions of FAMILY.
FAMILY linked with blood, FAMILY linked on the cross road of life , FAMILY linked through the earth.
We are all born and raised on this planet.
We are FAMILY on this planet.
We become humble in front of the mother nature.
We try to become part of her as ONE.
However, some people still hold their fear to be linked, and still fight.
Now is the time for the chance to link , instead of divide.
We must remember.
***
かぞく ~ FAMILY
いろいろなかぞくのかたちがある。
血でつながったかぞく、縁でつながったかぞく、そして地でつながったかぞく。
おなじ惑星で生まれて育ってきたわたしたち、ほんとうはみんなが地でつながったかぞく。
自然の前でhumbleになり、ひとつになり、にんげんとして自然の一部になれるようにつとめる。
そんななか、つながることを恐れ、まだ戦っているにんげんたちもいる。
地をわけることよりも、地でつながっていることを思い出す、ほんとうは今がチャンスなのに。
- Yuri Shimojo, April 2011
Edition One Hundred is also presenting an artist talk by Yuri Shimojo as an Official Programming Partner of the inaugural Los Angeles installment of the Affordable Art Fair:

DAVID ELLIS
True Value
December 15, 2011 – January 14, 2012
Opening Reception:
Thursday, December 15, 6pm-9pm
“With his unique blend of humor, vivid imagery, and technical invention, David Ellis channels his love for music into a variety of art genres and media, including painting, sculpture, and video installation. The artist’s kinetic sound sculpture True Value (Paint Fukette, 2011) — a large installation created in collaboration with Roberto Lange, built of discarded paint cans and buckets that beat a syncopated rhythm — was an acclaimed presentation at the recent PULSE Contemporary Art Fair in New York, winning the 2011 PULSE Prize. The artist has been critically hailed for his freestyle installations inspired by popular music and DJ culture, specifically interpreting the ways in which image, sound, materials, and technology interconnect in the contemporary cultural landscape.
For True Value, Ellis will present several of his signature “Motion Paintings,” including Animal (2011), which chronicle the creation of large mural works in time-lapse digital video… In addition, the exhibition will feature new paintings on panel and tobacco-stained paper. Preparing the paper himself, the artist uses the natural material for pigment as it resonates with his upbringing in Cameron, North Carolina, where the area is predominantly tobacco fields. Ellis will also include Mubarak, an example from his Recollection series of sculptural works…”

Good friend and Colab artist The Sucklord, who recently rose to fame as a featured cast member of Bravo’s “Work of Art” reality show, is shining a light on the Occupy Wall Street movement with his villainous capitalistic Lower East Side takeover “OCCUPY CYBERTRON.” This will be a really fun event, and I highly recommend that you get there early before the cops break it up. Music by The Crystal Pharoah and drinks by our buddies at Beerlao. If for some reason you have something better to do that night (doubtful), I’m sure you can pick up a custom Transformer at the Suckshop.

JK5
THREEMORROW
November 17 – December 2, 2011
Opening Reception
Thursday, November 17, 7pm – 10pm
Colab Projects announces JK5′s second solo show in New York entitled THREEEMORROW, including paintings, drawings, sketchbooks and ephemera culled from the last decade of output, and a stunning new body of hand-etched scratchboards alongside a new series of paintings. The exhibition will be accented by artifacts and selections from the artist’s childhood sketchbooks, which have been carefully preserved for almost 40 years.
According to JK5, “This show is an opportunity to crystallize a body of new work, with a retrospective component of “Visual B-sides”: an edited selection of works never shown before. The title of the show refers to how the birth of my daughter triggered an explosion of creativity and output as well as a rebirth of my own consciousness as my family of 2, or Twomorrow, grew into a family of 3: Threeemorrow. This show encapsulates my attempts to passionately give textual, poetic, iconographic, and imagistic language to the experience.”
Generous support for the exhibition has been provided by Converse and Antenna Magazine.
