DESCRIPTION:On exhibit 1/29/15-4/4/15\nTuesday-Saturday 10AM-6PM&nbsp\;\n\n
 <strong><em>Body and Matter: The Art of Kazuo Shiraga and Satoru Hoshino&n
 bsp\;</em></strong>is curated by Koichi Kawasaki\, former director of Ashi
 ya City Museum of Art and History in Japan. This exhibition places a group
  of 23 important abstract paintings made over the course of the fifty-year
  career of legendary Gutai artist Kazuo Shiraga\, in dialogue with a serie
 s of nine works from the 1990s by Satoru Hoshino\, a prominent member of t
 he avant-garde postwar Japanese ceramics group Sodeisha\, the &ldquo\;Craw
 ling through Mud Association\,&rdquo\; founded by Kazuo Yagi (1918-1979) i
 n Kyoto.&nbsp\;<strong><em>Body and Matter&nbsp\;</em></strong>invites new
  insights into Shiraga&rsquo\;s extraordinary oeuvre through juxtaposition
  with the art of another Japanese master of a parallel universe: clay. Alt
 hough they were near contemporaries in Japan\, Shiraga (1924-2008) and Hos
 hino (b. 1945) never met. The exhibition at Dominique L&eacute\;vy marks t
 he first time their work will be shown in juxtaposition\, tracing the thre
 ad of the informe&mdash\;the &ldquo\;formless&rdquo\;&mdash\;in the radica
 l and poetic work of two great postwar Japanese figures who exploited diff
 erent mediums and created fresh art-historical dialogue through their inno
 vative approaches to matter and individuation.\n\nOn view through April 4\
 , the exhibition coincides with&nbsp\;<strong><a href="https://www.dma.org
