DESCRIPTION:James Cohan Gallery is proud to present <strong><em>DANDAN</em>
  </strong> \, a solo exhibition by Japanese artist <strong>Tabaimo</strong
 > \,  opening September 15th and running through October 29th\, 2011. This
  is  the third solo exhibition at the gallery by the 35-year old Tabaimo\,
   recognized as one of Japan&rsquo\;s leading artists and well-known for h
 er  hand-drawn animations whose coloration bring to mind traditional <em>u
 kiyo-e</em> prints.\n\n Taking on roles as both social critic and a voice 
 of those born in the  mid 1970&rsquo\;s\, Tabaimo strives to investigate t
 he inter-generational  divide.  As globalization pervades an island nation
  that once prided  itself on isolationism\, communal traditions continue t
 o give way to  contemporary desires of individualization. Tabaimo&rsquo\;s
  work offers an  unblinking look at contemporary Japanese society as a mir
 ror in which to  view herself and other members of her generation caught i
 n the  crossfire of these societal shifts.  Her works capture the anxiety 
 that  is a constant reality in a land whose <em>terra firma</em> is less t
 han  stable\, while their tone remains abstract and detached. Recurring  m
 otifs\, including cityscapes\, interior spaces\, hands\, brains\, hair\,  
 insects\, plants and water\, hover between the elegantly rendered and the 
  disturbingly surreal.\n \n Two of the works on view at James Cohan Galler
 y\, <strong><em>BLOW</em> </strong> and <strong><em>danDAN</em> </strong> 
 \, were first shown in <em>Danmen</em> \,  a solo exhibition that originat
 ed at the Yokohama Museum of Art in 2009  and traveled to the National Mus
 eum of Art\, Osaka. These two works are  multi-channel video and sound ins
 tallations presented on elaborately  built stage sets. In addition\, the e
 xhibition features <strong><em>guignorama</em> </strong> \,  a single-chan
 nel work first exhibited in the artist&rsquo\;s solo exhibition  at the Ha
 ra Museum in 2006. This gallery exhibition marks the first time  these wor
 ks are shown in the United States.\n\nFor more information\, please visit
