蓮見令麻の音楽は高みへと向かっていくが、その道のりは、深く荒れた水域を航行するかのようでもある。その旅はここ数年で新たな次元を帯びてきた。母としての歩みが、彼女の人生と芸術の両方を形作り直しているからだ。

Before encountering the artworks themselves, the moment I stepped into the venue, I felt as though I were descending into the deep sea.

A profound stillness emerged—the kind found when one sinks toward the ocean floor, where only one’s inner pulse can be heard. I noticed my breath slowing, and I simply watched it do so. From the space itself, I sensed a quiet invitation: you can go deeper. At the same time, I felt momentarily overwhelmed by the intensity of the energy. I sat down, closed my eyes, and listened to the presence lingering in the air.

After about thirty minutes, I found myself guided toward a single work.
It was New Birth by Bassim Al-Shaker (b. 1986, Baghdad), an artist currently based in New York.

The creations of Japanese artist Mariko Mori, a respected and well-known figure in the international art world since the 1990s, have never seemed more present, needed, and timely than now. Why? In an era saturated with stimuli, her work invites us to slow down, suspend our assumptions, and enter a quieter relationship with ourselves, one another, and the world. Her art calls us back to what she simply names Radiance, the light and interconnectedness that underlie everything. http://onlylove.art #seankelly #seankellygallery #marikomori #moriartmuseum #guggenheimmuseum #spiritualart #exhibition #artjournalism #japaneseart #radiance #japaneseartist

New on https://onlylove.art — writer Yasuko Kasaki explores the Aichi Triennale, which brought together a diverse group of non-Western artists/group with twenty-six from Japan to respond to the horrific carnage and environmental destruction rampant around the world. The Triennale reexamines the serious issues that lie between humans and the environment, not from the anthropocentric perspectives of nation, territory, or ethnicity, but from a geological timeline. Rather than focusing on the extreme dichotomy of ashes (apocalypticism) or roses (optimism), it attempts to unravel the world through nuanced thinking in the space between.

"Among the countless fragments of memory vying to become the most precious, the one that lingers deepest within me is of a morning by the sea.

Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart died on June 9th, 2025. There have been a lot of narratives about his life and death, but less about his music, particularly his under-appreciated 1973 album, Fresh. True to its title, Fresh is lighter, more relaxed, and much more personal than any music Sly had written to date. It`s also much funkier, as Sly had in turn embraced the deep grooves of the Bootsy Collins-era JBs of James Brown.

Created by gamin, Between Breaths is a meditation on lineage, transformation, and transcendence—where tradition is reimagined through feminist and intercultural lenses, and breath becomes memory, ritual, resistance, and future. Drawing on her monograph of family history and cultural heritage, she brings to life the stories of her foremothers through the sounds of traditional Korean wind instruments—the piri, saenghwang, and taepyeongso—blurring the lines between ritual and recital. Through improvisation and Korean modes, each breath becomes a vessel of resilience, migration, and belonging.

The phone vibrated gently, reminding me that it was time to wake up. In Moscow, I have no other way to know that a new day has begun except for the rough sound from the phone. On the other side of the window, everything remains the same: bright yellow lights glitter on the white snow, and the sky is not yet totally dark but has turned a deep blue, the dense blue that reminds me of the bitter cold here. The wind blew. The snow fell. The sound of the wind whistling came from afar. Touching on the frosty bar of the windows, I swayed back and forth like a matryoshka doll, while widening my eyes to cover all of the scene unfolding in front, as if afraid that in the blink of an eye, everything would vanish as a fleeting dream — a frozen moment of the memory. If I hadn’t had to work and arrange my schedule that day, I could have stood like that all day without getting bored. So what? In the tireless race against time, I have proven myself to be an enduring athlete. Enduring to try, enduring to fight, and enduring to enjoy. This moment, like countless precious moments in life, deserves my attention and time more than usual.

The previous night, the snow fell heavily. The snowflakes fell gently yet fiercely, floating through the night like magical creatures. The cold crashed on me suddenly as soon as I stepped outside, aggressively occupying all the corners in my body, sneaking into every inch of carelessly exposed skin. The cold froze on the skin, piercing my brain, aching with every breath. On cold winter nights like this, the best thing to do is to stay in a cozy room, drink a cup of ginger tea, and talk about everything — except politics, of course. Politics in Russia these days is taboo. Russians avoided the subject like a terminal illness. “War in Ukraine? No, don’t worry, we are fine.” They changed the subject. Except Varf Labec....

Please join us on July 26, 2025, from 3 – 5:30 pm (doors open 3 pm, program starts 3:30 pm) for the Closing Reception for the exhibition Life Is Art Is Motherhood Is Art. At the reception, mother artists Sita Chay (violin) and Rema Hasuma (keyboards) will perform and join a conversation with the exhibition artists on the exhibition’s themes. The event will take place at Tenri Cultural Institute of New York. Admission is free and no RSVP is required. Families with children are welcome!

Following the conversation, Vietnamese mother artist and author / peacemaker / philanthropist L Le Ly Hayslip will share her thoughts and weave them into a larger conversation about the lessons not learned from the American War in Vietnam — this year marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the war as well as the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII — and the need to envision a society where the value of inspiration, creation, mutual care, and unconditional love is recognized and integrated into every aspect of life, without discrimination.

The event is the last of a series of Mother Artist Salons being held in conjunction with Life Is Art Is Motherhood Is Art, an exhibition of five artists who are mothers of different generations — Daniela Kostova (Bulgaria), Aline Müller (Brazil), Quynh “Alex” Nguyễn (Vietnam), Katie Heller Saltoun (USA), and Satomi Shirai (Japan). Curated by CRS co-founder Christopher Pelham, the exhibition will be on view at Tenri Cultural Institute of New York from July 21 – 26, 2025.

“Being an artist is to experience a vigorous, experimental life of the mind and of the senses. Parenthood is another enriching experience: primal, haptic and life-affirming. Why are the two still seen as incompatible?” — Jeffrey Boloten and Juliet Hacking, Forward to How Not to Exclude Artist Mothers (and other parents)

Tracy Shi had the honor of introducing Yoko Tawada’s seminal lecture “Every Work Has Several Faces: A Conversation with Yoko Tawada about Writing and Translation,” delivered at the Lenfest Center for the Arts, Columbia University School of the Arts, on March 27, 2025. In the latest article on onlylove.art, she expands on that introduction, exploring how Tawada, a borderless wordsmith, shatters linguistic confines through writing and translation: her language erases frontiers and reconfigures reality, existing not as the ruins of Babel, but as a thriving, pulsating, organic entity.
