NEW YORK - The Japan Society Gallery presents "Bye Bye Kitty!!! Between Heaven and Hell in Contemporary Japanese Art," from March 18 to June 12. The exhibition introduces American audiences to a new wave of Japanese artists who challenge their country's long love affair with the kawaii (cute) aesthetic. The exhibition is very much in dialogue with the themes raised five years ago in "Little Boy," a milestone exhibition at Japan Society Gallery organized by the artist Takashi Murakami, according to Joe Earle, director of Japan Society Gallery. Japan Society is at 333 East 47th Street between First and Second Avenues. For information, http://www.japansociety.org/ or 212-832-1155.[link]
