SUMMARY:Eiko Otake: I Invited Myself\, Vol. II
DESCRIPTION:Otake’s first museum solo-exhibition\, I Invited Myself\, Vol. II\, foregrounds the artist’s video and media\, which have developed alongside her dance\, choreography\, and performance installations. Spanning from 1980 to the present\, the works on view feature a body as it moves in and through various spaces\, including the urban infrastructure of Tokyo and New York and the vast landscapes of Wyoming and California. Working closely with the curators\, Otake choreographs her media works for the galleries of the Fine Arts Center. Editing and updating them for this occasion\, she also brings in related\, weathered objects. A self-described “immigrant artist\,” Otake has challenged the expectations of a museum presentation. Rather than presenting a cohesive overview of the artist’s career\, I Invited Myself places an emphasis on transition over statis. Viewers are strongly encouraged to return as select media will rotate over the course of the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Contested Terrains
DESCRIPTION:Landscape remains important for contemporary artists\, yet many have a dramatically different relationship to the genre. The five artists featured in Contested Terrains acknowledge how human intervention has shaped landscapes across the Americas. Together\, these artists extend the potential of landscape as a genre\, and allow it to function as an entryway to overlooked histories\, acknowledging how politics\, power\, and extraction have shaped the Americas as we know them today.

SUMMARY:What’s David Listening To?
DESCRIPTION:At the Colorado Springs Conservatory\nA collective listening session\, David Harrington\, founder & artistic director of the Kronos Quartet\, shares a selection of recordings from the vast music collection he has built over his four decades of tours with the quartet. Together with Harrington\, listeners explore some of the wide-ranging sounds that have inspired and intrigued this life-long artist. \n\nDavid Harrington\nThe Kronos Quartet has broken the boundaries of what string quartets do. —The New York Times \nDavid Harrington is the artistic director\, founder and violinist of the Kronos Quartet. For 50 years\, San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet has combined a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually reimagine the string quartet experience. \nIn the process\, Kronos has become one of the most celebrated and influential groups of our era\, performing thousands of concerts worldwide\, releasing more than 70 recordings of extraordinary breadth and creativity\, and collaborating with many of the world’s most accomplished composers and performers. \nThrough its nonprofit organization\, Kronos Performing Arts Association (KPAA)\, Kronos has commissioned more than 1\,000 works and arrangements for string quartet —including the recently completed 50 for the Future library of free\, educational repertoire. Kronos has received more than 40 awards\, including three Grammy Awards and the Polar Music\, Avery Fisher\, and Edison Klassiek Oeuvre Prizes—among the most prestigious awards given to musicians. \n\nA Friendship in Motion\nWith the rich collaborative history between Kronos Quartet and Eiko & Koma\, David continues to gift Eiko with his sound for her media works including the pieces shown currently at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College. In February of this year\, Eiko created eyes closed\, a new piece she performed with Kronos Quartet at Carnegie Hall which was hailed by the New York Times as “spectacularly imaginative.” The coming collaboration marks David’s first time performing with Eiko as a solo violinist. \nIn celebration of Otake’s solo exhibition I Invited Myself\, vol. II\, the Department of Theater and Dance at Colorado College is posting a series of two-day events in the Colorado Springs community. \nAll events are free and open to the public.

Their repertoire includes old-time traditional ballads like Shady Grove and St.James Infirmary as well as sounds from European cultures\, mainly that of Romania (hence the duo’s name) yet the music of Roma Ransom is distinctly their own. The sultry sweetness of Grace Easley on vocals paired with the couples’ vast instrumental array combine to form a style that can fit the mood for any setting. The couple was trained classically from an early age\, (Grace on violin/viola\, Gordon on guitar) making them an excellent choice for weddings and banquets in addition to their usual venues\, namely restaurants\, coffee shops and pubs. \n\nDavid Harrington\nThe Kronos Quartet has broken the boundaries of what string quartets do. —The New York Times \nDavid Harrington is the artistic director\, founder and violinist of the Kronos Quartet. For 50 years\, San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet has combined a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually reimagine the string quartet experience. \nIn the process\, Kronos has become one of the most celebrated and influential groups of our era\, performing thousands of concerts worldwide\, releasing more than 70 recordings of extraordinary breadth and creativity\, and collaborating with many of the world’s most accomplished composers and performers. \nThrough its nonprofit organization\, Kronos Performing Arts Association (KPAA)\, Kronos has commissioned more than 1\,000 works and arrangements for string quartet —including the recently completed 50 for the Future library of free\, educational repertoire.

Tan for Guernica  \nBorn and raised in Japan and a resident of New York since 1976\, Eiko Otake is a movement-based\, interdisciplinary artist.
