I want to make this event for an opportunity to discuss with audience, so please feel free to share your experiences with us.
The title of the event was named after my favorite comic written by Kyoko Okazaki.
A story is about an endless girls talk by three chatty girls.

“Sound of Desires” screening in New York 


Friday, December 15 – 7:30PM


Wendy’s Subway
379 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
http://www.wendyssubway.com/events/

Please join us for a screening of Maiko Junishi’s new film, Sound of Desires (2017, 69 min), followed by a talk and Q&A with Jinushi and Matt Jay (Director of End of Summer).

Sound of Desires originated as a recording of a collaborative public performance with percussionist, John Brennan. The Director, Jinushi talks with the percussionist about desires, and films how his performance changes throughout the conversation. The result becomes a kind of documentary recording of the process of musical collaboration and of emerging desire.

Sound of Desires was performed at Western Front, Vancouver, Canada and commissioned by LIVE Biennale in 2017.

Introduction to Maiko Jinushi’s Sound of Desires
Written by Matt Jay (Director of End of Summer), December 2017



In the relatively short amount of time since completing her studies at Tama Art University in 2010, Tokyo-based artist Maiko Jinushi has developed a unique praxis for her work which draws upon documentary filmmaking, performance, and installation to produce what Jinushi describes as “a new type of literature.” Her affinity for poetry and novels has influenced Jinushi to try to expand the possibilities of how the essential human act of storytelling can be conducted in surprising new ways.

2017 has been a fertile and reflective year for the artist, having relocated to New York as a participant of Residency Unlimited and a recipient of The Pola Art Foundation Fellowship. This distance from her home country has created the opportunity for Jinushi to explore the elements of language and communication inherent in her work outside of her native Japanese. It has also enabled Jinushi to critically consider social and cultural matters back home through a new lens.

A 2013 article in The Guardian detailed what the Japanese media diagnosed as sekkusu shinai shokogun (“celibacy syndrome”), giving a name to the conditions which have lead to the country possessing one of the world’s lowest birthrates. In July 2017, The Independent published new research on the subject, which stated that one third of the population in Japan is entering their 30’s without having had any sexual experience, choosing to remain single and unmarried indefinitely or longer in life. This widespread abstinence from sex and romantic relationships is particular to Jinushi’s generation, reacting to shifting societal norms, high cost of living, and a looming atmosphere of futility in the post disaster, earthquake-prone country. As Jinushi reflected on these reports from New York, she became compelled to explore the nature of desire through a new work created for the LIVE International Performance Art Biennale in Vancouver, Canada.

Sound of Desires began as a collaborative performance with percussionist John Brennan. Jinushi and Brennan faced each other on a stage before a live audience, Brennan sitting at his drum set and Jinushi behind her video camera. The performance and resulting video utilizes the working method Jinushi has developed and employed in her previous works A New Experience of Love (2016) and The Sound of a Horse Approaching (2014), in which the artist and her collaborator engage in a kind of live-documentary interview recording.

As Jinushi shares anecdotes and poses questions to Brennan on the subject of desire, Brennan responds twice- initially verbally, and then through improvisation on the drums. Thus, each inquiry has a concrete and abstract response, highlighting the communicational limits and strengths of both. As an interview subject, Brennan is candid in discussing personal struggles between desire and ethics, the heightened awareness of participating in an artwork seemingly drawing two strangers into a more revealing dialogue than would naturally occur. Despite her role as the “director” in this exchange, Jinushi subtly reveals aspects of her own personal stake in the matter as well, through the direction of her questioning and particularly in a final request to conclude with a “happy” performance from Brennan. Through Jinushi’s blend of performance and documentary video, Sound of Desires addresses questions of how desire can be engaged or repressed, swell or subside, shift or change focus.

In addition to the screening of Sound of Desires at Wendy’s Subway, Maiko Jinushi will open a solo exhibition at 池の底 (Ike no Soko), a newly established project space in Washington Heights on December 17th. The exhibition will present her work A New Experience of Love in the form of a newly conceived room installation.

Maiko Jinushi is an artist from Kanagawa, Japan. Her work has evolved from drawings and novels on the theme of personal tales to the creation of a “new type of literature” that comprehensively combines elements including video, installations and performance. http://maikojinushi.com

I will participate in a group show in Helsinki.
“A Detective in Mexico City” my new video which is a collaboration with Mexico based curator Neme Arranz and Helsinki based curator Vera Kavaleuskaya will be exhibited.
This is a sequel of “A Distant Duet” which is a film focused on the Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño.

***
p r o x y

May 26 – June 20, 2017
Opening: May 26, 12:30pm
Atski Gallery | NODE Gallery | Studio 7044
Arabia Campus
Hämeentie 135 C, 00560
Helsinki, Finland

p r o x y is an international group art exhibition that aims to reflect on the notions of displacement, remoteness and phenomenons associated with them.
With most of the artists working far from Helsinki and the curatorial team acting as authorized agents who follow their instructions and protocols, notions of trust, communication and cooperation will materialize in a territory that is itself shifting.

Works by:
Camille Tsvetoukhine (Paris)
eeefff – Dzina Zhuk, Nicolay Spesivtsev (Moscow – Minsk)
Leo Marz (Monterrey)
Maiko Jinushi (Tokyo – New York)
María Salgado (Madrid)
Narim Lee (Seoul – Helsinki)

With contributions from Dana Neilson, Miina Pohjolainen, Raúl Verduzco, Minna Kayra, Vanessa Kowalski and Lari Rantalainen.
You are warmly invited to the opening performance ARABIA proxy by María Salgado and Miina Pohjolainen which will take place at 12:30 sharp in Atski Gallery.
In her action María Salgado dictates through the phone from her house in Madrid a letter to Miina Poojolainen, who is in Helsinki. Miina, a native speaker of Finnish with no knowledge of Spanish whatsoever, pronounces in front of an audience the sounds that she can hear through a set of headphones. The performers use each other as human proxys or middle persons to make possible a text whose content only the translator to Finnish and the artist know first hand. What will it sound like? How much will be lost and how much will remain? “Me”, “you”, “here”, “there”, “this”, “today”, what or who will they name once de-contextualized and de-localized? Will the signal persist?

Curated by Vera Kavaleuskaya and Neme Arranz Ruiz

ZERO GRAVITY
El Ranchito Korea-Japan

I participate in a group show in Matadero Madrid, Spain. This exhibition is a part of a residency program.

November 27th, 2015 – January 10th, 2016
NAVE 16 (Matadero Madrid)
-
This new edition of El Ranchito presents the work of eight artists from Spain, Japan and Korea, selected through public open calls organised by Matadero Madrid and the centres it has partnered with in this edition: Tokyo Wonder Site (TWS) and the Goyang Residency Centre of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Korea (MMCA).

The artists and researchers who took part in this edition are Gun-hee Kim and Part-Time Suite from Korea, Nobuaki Itoh and Maiko Jinushi from Japan and Abelardo G. Fournier, Helena Grande, Jonathan Notario and Alejandra Pombo from Spain.

Zero Gravity is the title chosen jointly by the artists-in-residence. It is a reference to an environment of new conditions that one attempts to adapt to, a situation that is often replicated in the artist residency model, where artists look for a new ecosystem to inspire and enable development of their projects.

Matadero Madrid and AECID would like to thank the artists who participated in this edition for their work and effort during the residency. We would also like to thank our partner institutions for their collaboration and support, as well as Aleix Plademunt and Lys Villalba, the two Spanish artists currently undertaking a residency in Tokyo Wonder Site as part of the resident exchange programme, and Cristina Maya, who is undertaking a residency at the MMCA’s Goyang Centre.

The warm reception that the El Ranchito Residency Programme has met with has prompted us to continue to develop new exchange opportunities, working with new centres and creation spaces around the world. Three new open calls are currently underway for participation in the first edition of El Ranchito 2016, which will consist of two periods of residency: an initial residency in Matadero Madrid, coinciding with the ARCO Fair, and a second residency in the autumn at the HIAP (Helsinki), TWS (Tokyo) and Artista x Artista (Havana) centres.

The partnership between AECID and Matadero Madrid will thus continue in the year 2016, with a view towards further increasing the number of cultural agents (residency centres, artists, curators, etc.) that comprise the broad international network which gives shape to El Ranchito.

A VOYAGE TO THE CHILI RAIN SEASON

Three films by Maiko Jinushi (Tokyo)
Music performance by Dodge (Tokyo)
This presentation served in collaboration with Karina Roosvita (Yogya)

3 & 4 January 2014
Start at 8.00 pm
Ruang MES 56,
Jalan Minggiran No. 16 A,
Yogyakarta

This event is the screening of three films by Maiko Jinushi (Tokyo). “Super Young Chili” (2013) is comedy about the art world. It had be shown at Yoyo Art Bar, Koganecho Bazaar 2013, Yokohama. “Here and There, Spring and Winter” (2012) is the feature film about people lived in Tokyo after the earthquake and Fukushima disaster. It had be shown at Art Center Ongoing, Fukuoka Independent Film Festival and Theater Image Forum. “Voice” (2011) is her first video work and it is about individual confession. It had be shown at Art Center Ongoing.

The presentation will be accompanied with Dodge (Tokyo) performance. Dodge is a sound and poetry reading performance group. The member is Maiko Jinushi, Hitomi Tada and Erika Kikukawa. In this time, Maiko and Hitomi will perform.

This event collaborates with Karina Roosvita (Yogya) to improve the mood of the presentation.

Maiko Jinushi (born in 1984) is an artist based in Tokyo. She obtained her master degree in Painting, at Tama Art University, Tokyo. She was interested in personal stories and used it in her drawings along with poetic yet long titles. These long titles were extended into short stories and she reads them as her performance. In 2010, she started to develop her storytelling practices into video works. Her works were shown at Art Center Ongoing (Tokyo), Art Award Tokyo (Tokyo) and Fukuoka Independent Film Festival (Fukuoka).

Video screening kali ini akan menampilkan 3 (tiga) film oleh Maiko Jinushi (Tokyo). Film pertama berjudul “Super Young Chili” (2013), sebuah film komedi pendek mengenai dunia seni yang telah diputar di Yoyo Art Bar, Koganecho Bazaar 2013, Yokohama dengan Wok The Rock sebagai salah seorang pemerannya. Video kedua berjudul “Here and There, Spring and Winter” (2012), merupakan film panjang mengenai perasaan-perasaan penduduk Tokyo setelah gempa besar dan tragedi Fukushima. Film ini telah diputar di Art Center Ongoing, Fukuoka Independent Film Festival dan Theater Image Forum. Sedangkan film ketiga berjudul “Voice” (2011), berisikan pengakuan-pengakuan personal yang merupakan karya pertama Maiko. Film ini juga telah diputar di Art Center Ongoing.

Selain pemutaran video, akan tampil juga grup musik Dodge (Tokyo), sebuah grup musik yang beranggotakan Maiko Jinushi, Hitomi Tada dan Erika Kikukawa, yang merupakan grup dengan ciri pembacaan puisi yang diiringi bebunyian. Penampilan Dodge kali ini diwakili oleh Maiko dan Hitomi.

Untuk memperkental mood selama presentasi, event ini berkolaborasi dengan Karina Roosvita (Jogja) yang akan mendokumentasikan ekspresi-ekspresi penonton selama pemutaran.

Maiko Jinushi (lahir 1984) adalah seorang seniman yang tinggal di Tokyo. Dia mendapatkan gelar Master di bidang Seni Lukis dari Tama Art University, Tokyo. Dia tertarik dengan cerita-cerita personal dan menggunakannya dalam gambar dengan judul panjang yang puitis. Judul-judul panjang ini lalu dikembangkan menjadi cerita pendek yang ia bacakan sebagai performance. Mulai tahun 2010, dia mulai mengembangkan praktik berceritanya ke dalam karya-karya video. Karya-karyanya dipamerkan di Art Center Ongoing (Tokyo), Art Award Tokyo (Tokyo) dan Fukuoka Independent Film Festival (Fukuoka).
