Looking Back Into the Future

Park Life proudly presents Looking Back Into the Future, a Broken Wrist Project show.
Looking Back Into the Future is an exhibit featuring three Broken Wrist Project painters: Ashley Macomber, Steve Sueoka, and Ryan Wallace. These three painters use the power of narrative to provoke and encourage viewers to create and share thousands of stories. Looking Back Into the Future provides visual cues to the past, present and future of each artist's work as well as insight into intended and unintended stories. The importance of the narrative in our lives is best described by the American Association for Artificial Intelligence, "By telling stories, we make sense of the world: We order its events and find meaning in them by assimilating them to more or less familiar narratives" (Mateas & Sengers, 1998).
The Broken Wrist Project is an award-winning artist's collective focused on supporting and advancing the work of emerging fine artists and illustrators. Its work is driven by narrative, aesthetic and emotion. This July's exhibition advances Park Life's mission to support a provocative and intellectual exhibition that nurtures and encourages an appreciation for and understanding about the contemporary arts for both aspiring artists and art lovers alike.
Co-curated by Chako Suzuki
About the Broken Wrist Project:
The Broken Wrist Project originated as an artist collective in Los Angeles in the late 1990s. It was formed to promote the efforts of a creative syndicate of painters, illustrators, and designers. The Broken Wrist Project consolidated its work with a network of writers based in Chicago to provide literary content to inspire and navigate the group's visual identity. The result of this collaboration is the Broken Wrist Project Book Series, a hybrid format that blurs the line between street-level art book and literary journal. Anthem Magazine hailed the Broken Wrist Project as "filled up to the brim with short stories abreast art from some of the most noteworthy figureheads in street, graphic, and fine art." The collective has also been nationally recognized in magazines such as American Illustration Annual 2004, I.D., Communication Arts, The Fader, Flaunt, and Tokion among others, and received the Merit Award at the Art Director's Club's 83rd Annual Awards.
About the Artists:
Ashley Macomber was born in 1978 in Massachusetts and lives and works in Los Angeles. Macomber has had solo exhibitions at Kavi Gupta Gallery, Chicago and New Image Art, Los Angeles. Recently she was included in Panic Room - Works from The Dakis Joannou Collection at the Deste Foundation in Athens, Greece as well as Paper Trails at V1 Gallery in Copenhagen and Good World in association with Beautiful Losers in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has also exhibited her work in exhibitions at Marianne Boesky Gallery, NY; John Connelly Presents, NY; Creative Time, NY; Elizabeth Dee Gallery, NY; and Clementine Gallery and White Box, NY.
Steve Sueoka was born in 1974. He received his BFA in illustration from Art Center College of Design in 2000. Steve is an artist, graphic designer, book publisher, racist beater upper, lover, cusser, foodie, freedom fighter, tequila/whiskey drinker, hugger, brother, uncle, sancho, righteous troof-seeking gangster with a heavy glowing pimp hand. Steve is one of the founding members of The Broken Wrist Project and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
Ryan Wallace was born in 1977 in New York City, where he currently lives and works. He received his BFA in 1999 from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). His work is based on personal, exterior, desired and fictitious experiences. He creates worlds of variously interpretable, often romanticist narratives. His pictures act autonomously--and as a whole--suggesting each piece as a segment or selection lifted from a larger landscape or longer timeline. Wallace's imagery and symbols reflect an interest in the dualities, fleetingness and half-lives of the beautiful and awesome. His symbols are enacted to create brochure-like pictures of the adventuresome and romantic, subverted by an inherent apprehension at the improbability of the universe that they exist in. Wallace has exhibited his work in exhibitions at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, CA; New Image Art, CA; Space 1026, PA; Aidan Savoy Gallery, NY; Alston Skirt Gallery, MA; and Alena Gallery in Montreal, Canada.

hi TH
without a BA i think you make about 250,000 a month.
as for level of japanese lang - ZERO
level of teaching experience - ZERO
i've heard not as many people are applying for jobs so lots of companies are desperate. including mine.
0 -
TH - no you'd be a fully fledged teacher - at least at my company. and i know people that don't have degrees that are fully fledged teachers at other companies too. my company pays higher than most.

yes i know there of one guesthouse in shimo and i'm sure there are more - i think it is run by the SAKURA line of guesthouses. idaknow a website but you could poke around google. the tough thing is that a LOT of people want to live in Shimo as it's only 1 stop away on express from shibuya (which is only 1 stop from harajuku) AND it is 2 stops from shinjuku on the express...so it's a very desirable place to live. getting into gaijin houses in those areas might not be so easy. it's like a person leaves, a person fills the spot type of deal. not sure exactly how it all works because i've never dealt with guesthouses and i heard that some companies can be pretty shady..but i know 1 girl who lives in a guesthouse there and i am PRETTY SURE that it is run by SAKURA. i don't know her well and only met her twice so i wouldn't be able to pass her info to you either since i don't have it....as for kichi joji - i'm sure there are guesthouses there too....i would mess around on google....

unfortunately, yes! ugh.
ah - that's too bad you didn't know about the flea markets. they are so fun. there was supposed to be one in meiji and yoyogi koen today but the rain. another in yoyogi koen tomorrow but i think it'll be rained out as well.

i'd definitely try to come WITH a visa. you don't want to deal with that headache.
my company will be hire around january.
they are desperate for teachers and you can get a job without a degree. they just pay you less.

shimo-kitazawa is most definitely a great place to live - right now there is some compaign to "Save Shimokitazawa" as they are trying to run a highway through it...not sure if it is going on still but i heard about it a few months ago.
everyone that has come to visit me has loved shimokitazawa the most because it has the most "neighborhood-y" feeling. it's a huge tangle of sidestreets filled with great shops, cafes, etc.
should also check out Kichi Joji..it's bigger but it's still got a nice feel and less crazy than Shib and Hara. it's a few stops away from Shimokitazawa on the Inokashira express line.

hi! i am a HUGE flea market whore and my two favorite ones here in tokyo at Meiji Koen and Yoyogi Koen - which is Sendagaya and Harajuku respectively. There is a calendar although it is not always accurate for the Yoyogi Koen flea market as it is way more frequently than listed
