EIKO OTAKE: I Invited Myself, vol. III is the third iteration of Eiko Otake’s I Invited Myself, an exhibition series that the artist started in 2022. Following the first iteration showcased at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the second iteration at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Asian Arts Initiative and The Fabric Workshop and Museum have partnered to present different versions of EIKO OTAKE: I Invited Myself in Philadelphia. The institutions have worked together and alongside the artist to present specific aspects of Otake’s expansive practice. 

The reception will be held in our gallery from 3–5pm and is open to all. The screening and performance, held in our theater, has limited seating and requires registration. A screening of Slow Turn, co-commissioned by Lower Manhattan Council, NYU Skirball, and Battery Park City in 2021 in commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the September 11 Attacks, will be followed by a live performance by Eiko Otake. Two showings will be presented, one at 3pm and again at 4:30pm. Please select the time you wish to attend through the registration link
