“Kizome Digital 3D Shibori”
On view through Oct. 1
KIZOMÉ Digital 3D Shibori is a new style of
Shibori (Japanese tie-dye) produced with
cutting-edge technology. Ita Shibori, one of the
traditional Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori styles, is created
using a mold produced by the 3D software
design and a 3D printer.
The extremely delicate and complex molds
resulting from the advanced 3D technologies
achieve the special effect and gentle texture on
the new Kyo-Kanoko Shibori.
Kyoto Shibori Bikyo (by Kiichi Matsuoka)
succeeded to produce the Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori
with the Digital 3D Shibori as a first in its field.

“Stanya Kahn: Stand in the Stream”
On view through Sept. 17
Built from footage Kahn shot primarily over the past
six years, Stand in the Stream records the artist
in the act of both living and seeing, culminating
in her activist mother’s decline into dementia and
eventual death in 2015, and in events leading up to
and surrounding the 2016 U.S. Presidential election.
In a rhythmic flow of images, punctuated by
irruptions of protest, solidarity, and violence, Kahn’s
film charts the intersection between private and
public life in today’s America.

“A Memory of Astoria”
On view through Sept. 30
“A Memory of Astoria,” commissioned by
the Museum of the Moving Image, is an
impressionistic portrait of the blocks surrounding
this building. Wube walked the neighborhood
to observe the area’s confluence of cultures,
focusing on everyday moments, sights, and
sounds. He reconstituted these experiences into
a poetic visual collage, inserting himself as a
silhouetted observer exploring the memories of
his walks.The production of A Memory of Astoria
was an intensive, months-long process, with each
frame painted in sequence on top of the last. The
result is striking: street scenes assemble and
disassemble, leaving visible marks of the past as
if time and space have melted together. Through
these impressions, Wube reveals a diverse,
rapidly changing neighborhood that the Museum
has called home for more than 30 years.
