Thou hast made all the house an empty thing,
Dear Ursula, by this thy vanishing.
Though we are here, ’tis yet a vacant place,
One little soul had filled so great a space.
For thou didst sing thy joyousness to all,
Running through every nook of house and hall.
Thou wouldst not have thy mother grieve, nor let
Thy father with too solemn thinking fret
His head, but thou must kiss them, daughter mine,
And all with that entrancing laugh of thine!
Now on the house has fallen a dumb blight:
Thou wilt not come with archness and delight,
But every corner lodges lurking grief
And all in vain the heart would seek relief.

Wielkiéś mi uczyniłá pustki w domu moim,
Moiá droga Orszulo, tym zniknienim swoim.
Pełno nas, á iákoby nikogo nie było:
Iedną máluczką duszą ták wielé ubyło.
Tyś zá wszytki mówiłá, zá wszytki śpiéwáłá,
Wszytkiś w domu kąćiki záwżdy pobiegáłá.
Nie dopuśćiłáś nigdy mátce sye frásowáć,
Ani oycu myśleniem zbytnim głowy psowáć:
To tego, to owégo wdźięcznie obłápiáiąc,
I onym swym ućiesznym śmiéchem zábawiáiąc.
Teraz wszytko umilkło: szczéré pustki w domu,
Niémász zábawki, niemász rośmiać sye nikomu:
Z káżdégo kątá żáłość człowieká uymuie,
A serce swéy poćiechy dármo upátruie.
The Arizona State University Art Museum presents the U.S. Premier of Breathing Is Free 12,756.3: a new work by Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba, January 24 —“ April 26, 2009. Reception: February 20: 7-9 p.m.
Japanese-American-Vietnamese artist, Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba, is well known on the international art circuit for his striking video installations. This exhibition presents new work, and examines his abiding interest in globalization and the balance between tradition and change as we forge our future. Co-organized with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, each venue will host the on-going piece, Breathing is Free, in which the artist is running the diameter of the earth (12,756.3) in cities of the world at different times. Breathing is Free is a virtual earth drawing, exhibited as an installation, illustrating the movement of populations around the world. The ASU Art Museum exhibition is the U.S. premiere of the Breathing is Free performance and installation.
Jun will be arriving in Phoenix the week of January 19 to install the exhibition and scout locations for the run, which will take place Spring 2009. The artist’s physical runs, when mapped out, create a pattern that fits with his feeling and thinking about the physical location. The run is therefore very strategically planned and requires much forethought. The exhibition inside the Museum will include footage of both his films and previous runs as well as photography, maps and other projects.
Breathing is Free: New Work by Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba is an ASU Art Museum Moving Targets initiative.
Breathing is Free: 12,756.3; New Work by Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba is co-curated by Heather Sealy Lineberry, Senior Curator and Interim Director at the ASU Art Museum, and Dr. Nora Taylor, Alsdorf Professor of South and Southeast Asian Art, School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
