“Eiko’s creative practice pushes us to rethink the conventions of museum work to support an experience that will grow and change over time, both in our galleries and beyond.” —Michael Christiano, Museum Director of the Fine Arts Center
To see the work of Eiko Otake is to become acutely aware of raw emotions that are universally felt but uniquely experienced. Watching her movements in space is like being conscious of your own pulse—the moments when it races, slows, or becomes almost undetectable. Her work dwells meaningfully in the territory of what it is to be alive and what it is to be moving around and towards death....All of the dance work is site-specific and often involves water, wind, and other natural elements. Each piece affirms that she can and does make a performance in any and every kind of space.” —Stacy J. Platt, DARIA Art Magazine
