The City Girl Farm's 'When Feathers Come Together" A Global Chicken Collection Opening Reception

      The opening reception of The City Girl Farm's 'When Feathers Come Together' - A Global Chicken Collection - was a blast! Both of my chickens, Eiko and Minako, were there greeting many people with 10 other chickens all brilliantly dressed with their artistic feathers. Congratulations to The City Girl Farm for this over-a-year long incredible project! So thankful for all who worked on this project in many different ways!

Minako

Eiko

I was the only artist who made it to the opening as other artists were overseas. I felt responsible to witness this show for them, too. My husband and I also enjoyed staying at the Crossroads Hotel and their hospitality, in the middle of the Kansas City's Crossroads Art District. Both of my chickens were sold within 10 minutes of being released.

GLOBAL CHICKEN CHAT​​​​​​​​

Tuesday, April 26th / 6 pm​​​​​​​​

  シティガールファーム の「羽が集まる時　―グローバルチキンコレクションー」のオープニングレセプションは大盛況でした。私のチキン、栄子と美名子も、他の10羽のチキンと一緒に、大勢の人たちにご挨拶していました。この一年越しのプロジェクトに様々な形で関わって下さった方々に、本当に感謝です。他のアーティストさんたちは皆さん海外在住なので、参加できたアーティストは私だけ。このショーを皆さんの分までしっかり見とどけなければ、と写真をいっぱい撮りました。カンザスシティのクロスローズアート地区にあるクロスローズホテルでの滞在、ホスピタリティを楽しむことができたのも感謝でした。
私のチキン二羽とも、発売開始１０分以内に売れたそうです。良かった～(安堵）。

CHIYOKO MYOSE | Japan/United States​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We had the pleasure of collaborating with Chiyoko in person at our studio as she lives (relatively) close in Wichita, Kansas. We were touched by her intentionality in combining traditional kimono fabric with our felted fiber, creating chickens that artfully express the cultural hybridity she experiences every day as a Japanese American woman. Learning more about this traditional style of dress was fascinating. Thank you for sharing this experience with us, Chiyoko. - Sally ​​​​​​​​
