A "remote" closing reception and artist talk event will take place to conclude the solo show of Ayako Kurihara, "I Am Here, There and Everywhere: Mind Games 2020," by connecting the gallery and the artist's studio in Yokohama via Zoom from around 6pm on Saturday, November 21st. This event will be broadcast live on the gallery's YouTube account page (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTa4k-VE-Mo).

As part of the program related to Ayako Kurihara's solo show "I Am Here, There and Everywhere: Mind Games 2020," we will host an online talk/live-painting event, titled "Art, Coronavirus, and Future: Osaka-Seoul-Yokohama," interconnecting Osaka, Seoul, and Yokohama via the Internet on Sunday, November 15th, 2020.
Kurihara's studio in Yokohama, HRD Fine Art’s director Akikazu Harada's home office in Osaka, and Space O'NewWall, HRD's collaborative partner gallery, in Seoul, will be connected using Zoom web-conference. Harada and Juno Seo, director of Space O'NewWall, will discuss the current situation surrounding art in Korea and Japan amid COVID-19 pandemic, as well as future prospects and plans.
At the same time with the talk session, two children - sons of the two gallery directors - will play the game of Othello using Zoom. Then the artist Kurihara creates an Othello-painting in her studio based on the progress of the game played between the two kids.
One new piece of "artwork" will be created as a result of this multi-layered, "remote" collaboration, examining the current situation and looking ahead into the future after COVID-19, while imagining the shape of the next generation international friendship.
Talk session and live-painting performance will be broadcast online via Facebook Live on HRD Fine Art's page.

As part of the programs related to our current exhibition I Am Here, There and Everywhere: Mind Games 2020 by Ayako Kurihara, the artist has launched a painting-performance via social media platforms, dubbed "Remote Othello Game." Sporadically and without notice Kurihara posts the current status of the Othello (Reversi) game being played, and then anyone on the platforms can participate in the game by designating the box to place the next piece (stamp) using the comment function. Visit Kurihara's account pages on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram to find more details about the progress of the game and how to participate in this co-creation of a new work.
