    Oct 14, 2011 – Jan 29, 2012
    Room for Big Ideas

    YBCA welcomes Bay Area photographer and installation artist Derick Ion to the Room for Big Ideas. His installation transforms the RBI into a meditative and sensual environment rich in symbology, Jainist iconography, and Subcontinental texture. Complementing and contrasting YBCA's large first floor exhibition, The Matter Within: New Contemporary Art of India, the ephemera and minutiae displayed in Ion's space reflect another contemporary – and timeless – perspective on India.

    Crosspulse in Association with YBCA presents:

    The 4th International Body Music Festival

    Music you can see, dance you can hear. The only festival of its kind anywhere, the International Body Music Festival presents over 20 events featuring traditional and contemporary Body Music from across the globe. Artists traveling from seven countries include Balinese Kecak group Çudamani, Las Vegas hip hop steppers Molodi, Greece’s Kantu Korpu, Canary Islanders Cambuyón, and others from Brazil, Turkey, the US and Canada. It’s a cross-cultural conversation that only the world’s oldest instrument, our bodies, can reach. “Body Music across cultures reveals not only a sonic diversity but a breadth of world views,” says Artistic Director Keith Terry, “It is amazing how many different ways the body can be played.” The six-day festival includes an Opening Party, Open-Mic, Workshops for children through professionals, Teacher Trainings and In-school assemblies — culminating with Concerts and Family Matinee at YBCA. It’s the oldest music on the planet, and it’s brand new.
