Being in conversation with @sofia.thieu makes my brain light up in countless ways. She wrote this stunner of an essay for The Tongue is the Child of the Heart opening at @ninajohnsongallery this Thursday.
“the heart becomes emblematic of a larger cosmology—one defined by continuity, interrelation, and enfolding”
If you get a chance, please take the time to read it and get on the mind/body reintegration train with us ~

Welcome back to Table Mates, where we’ve invited a stellar group of creatives to plan and execute their dream soirées among friends. This month, Sophie Lou Jacobsen (@sophieloujacobsen) and Megumi Shauna Arai (@oneflewup) host a lively dinner party where the fare is all fresh farmers market produce, and the only rule is “Arrive late, stay late.”

Today is the last day of my show The Tongue is the Child of the Heart at @ninajohnsongallery in Miami. This is a video walking through the gallery the morning after we finished install. Thank you to everyone who has engaged with the work and talked about the ideas with me - it’s such a privilege to connect with you in this way.

Celebrate with us tomorrow, April 16, as we make our debut at the Dallas Invitational. Visit us in Room 109 at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek through April 18, where we will be presenting works by Megumi Shauna Arai, Rob Davis, Elsa Hansen Oldham, Minjae Kim, Estefania Puerta, and Katie Stout.

Megumi Shauna Arai’s textile work centers on silk as a dynamic material—dyed, folded, stitched, and painted into a gestural composition that unfolds through movement and a quiet sense of energy.

Megumi Shauna Arai’s “The Tongue is the Child of the Heart” brings together the overlapping aesthetic and metaphysical frameworks that continue to shape Arai’s practice across media and technique. Through their material poetics, the works on view propose a way of seeing and being—rooted in the interdependence of tongue, heart, hand, and mind.

Visit “The Tongue is the Child of the Heart” in our Upstairs Gallery, on view through April 18.

When something takes charge of the beings, we speak of the heart When the heart applies itself, we speak of intent When intent becomes permanent, we speak of will When the persevering will changes, we speak of thought When thought extends itself powerfully and far we think of reflection When reflection can have all beings at its disposal we speak of knowing how

Filmed in Chiba Prefecture and NYC in collaboration with choreographer, movement artist, and renowned qigong teacher Daria Faïn.

Thank you Daria for your presence and wisdom. I adore you. Anyone who wants to join me in Soho for qigong lessons biweekly with Daria let me know it’s wild stuff
