For a New World to Come: Experiments in Japanese Art and Photography, 1968-1979<\/a> <\/em><\/strong>Japan Society Gallery<\/a>, 333 East 47th Street<\/strong><\/p>\n

$12 students and seniors, $10, Japan Society members. Free on Friday nights, 6:00-9:00 p.m.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the wake of the social and political upheaval of the late 1960s, Japanese artists and photographers began crafting a new visual language for an age of uncertainty. Their embrace of camera-based experiments would alter the cultural landscape and lay the foundations for contemporary art in Japan. For a New World to Come<\/em> is the first comprehensive exhibition to spotlight this radical break with the past. With some 200 works by such luminaries as Ishiuchi Miyako, Daid\u014d Moriyama, Jir\u014d Takamatsu, and Sh\u014dmei T\u014dmatsu, the exhibition charts the stunning diversity of photographic practices during this pivotal era, from conceptual series situated squarely within global artistic currents, to visually arresting meditations on time, place, and self.<\/p>\n
