EMILY BATES: THE SKY IS GLOWING WITH THE SETTING SUN
02/06/2012 - 23/09/2012
@ Mudam Luxembourg - Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean
Amami-Ōshima is the largest of the Amami Islands, set in the East China Sea, with Kakeroma, "Shadow Island", nestling beneath it. Emily Bates has ventured there several times, and bonded with some of the women who are preserving the old traditions as best they can. The villages, which are often isolated because of the mountain terrain and the dense sub-tropical forests, each have their own rituals and language. The authorities are trying to develop tourism so that young islanders will stay there and have a future.
Curator: Enrico Lunghi
Within the framework of MONO 2012

I visited the museum this past Thursday and enjoyed Emily's work very much. I also wish I could have seen this video in the museum as it better explains the background and some of the themes of this installation. As you can guess I am a layman with no formal artistic education. Still, enjoyed it very much. Keep up the good work Emily! Maybe you could explore shamanism in other parts of the world for us too? Latin America, Russia, Mongolia? Thanks again.
