     I am so grateful for the incredible year as the featured artist for the KMUW (Wichita's NPR) 2021 Artist Series!  Their 2021 events have ended and now the video that they made for the show is available to watch on YouTube.  You can see my selected installations, collaborations and solo exhibitions over the last 10 years all at once.  Hope you will check it out.

 2021年度KMUW (ウィチタ市の米国公共ラジオ局)のアーティストシリーズのアーティストに選んで頂いたこの一年、色々と経験させていただけて本当に感謝でした。ショーのためにKMUWが制作して下さったビデオがYoutubeでもご覧になれるようになりました。過去10年間の私の主なインスタレーション作品、コラボレーション、個展風景などが一気に観られるようになっています。どうぞお楽しみ下さい。

Collaboration with Furniture Artists/Artisans

    I have done several collaborations with other forms of art such as classical music, contemporary dance, short film, and even with engineering. Right now, I'm working on a collaboration with sculpture/furniture artists/artisans in Kansas City area.  This is going to be in a group show in Kansas City in spring.  I'm using vintage kimono fabrics and obi fabrics.  This particular obi fabric is ca.1930 according to the seller of it.  Fun! 

  今までクラシック音楽、コンテンポラリーダンス、短編フィルム、エンジニアリング等々、色んなコラボレーションをやってきましたが、今、カンザスシティのアーティスト、職人さん達による「家具」とのコラボレーション作品を作っています。この春、カンザス・シティでのグループ展にて展示されます。ヴィンテージの着物、帯の生地を使っています。この帯の生地は、売り主さんによると、1930年頃のものだそうです。いい作品になりますように。

Front Porch Project

Exciting news!

                     

My daughter Sarah and I are selected as one of the creatives for the project called Front Porch Project founded by Downtown Wichita next year.  Downtown Wichita received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Knight Foundation Fund at the Wichita Community Foundation for the project.  The overview of the project is here.  Front Porch Project Wichita. We are very excited to be a part of this project as a team and to contribute to the Wichita community through art!

We're paired with Old Mill Tasty Shop, a Wichita's beloved restaurant.   The restaurant is located in the middle of downtown on the Douglas Street.  This street is called Douglas Design District, which is a home to over 500 locally owned businesses with an emphasis on design.  Lately, a lot of murals were added in this area including the one by Sarah and her friend.  The restaurant is family-owned and it's like a family for the people in Wichita.  The food is all homemade and excellent. It opened in 1932 and they are cerebrating 90 years next year.  We are happy to cerebrate with them through this Front Porch Project!

Iridescence Series Paintings from the KMUW Show

     My show at the KMUW is up there through January next year.  I'm glad several paintings have found their new home already.  May these paintings bless their new place and fill their space with love and light!  

     Today, I'm going to introduce some of the paintings  from the "Iridescence" series at the show.  They are mixed media with the material of thread.  The paintings have rich texture.  I hope you will enjoy them.  They are all same sized, "12" x 12", and framed.  If you are interested in purchasing my work, please talk to the KMUW receptionist. Or you can contact me through my website or my email: cmyose@hotmail.com or ckmyose@gmail.com.
