•Zen No Zen: Aspects of Noguchi's Sculptural Vision
February 23 - June 2, 2002

This exhibit attempts to find a pathway into Noguchi's uses of the Zen aesthetic. It also attempts to define his lack of commitment to any one alliance or category, taking what he needed to develop his own vocabulary from this aesthetic. Most of the sculptures exhibited here were made during the last twenty years of his life in Japan where he worked with Zen-sensitive artisans and craftsmen. Catalogue available.


•Noguchi: Sculpture and Nature: Bringing the Garden into the Gallery
June 29 - November 25, 2002

The second in a series of shows that will examine different aspects of Noguchi's career and thought, this exhibit focuses on one of the artist's life long concerns: the transposition of natural forms into manmade objects and spaces and its reverse.
