DESCRIPTION:James Cohan Gallery is proud to present &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;DANDAN&lt;/em&gt;
  &lt;/strong&gt; \, a solo exhibition by Japanese artist &lt;strong&gt;Tabaimo&lt;/strong
 &gt; \,  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’s leading artists and well-known for her  h
 and-drawn animations whose coloration bring to mind traditional &lt;em&gt;ukiyo-
 e&lt;/em&gt; prints.\n\n Taking on roles as both social critic and a voice of th
 ose born in the  mid 1970’s\, Tabaimo strives to investigate the inter-g
 enerational  divide.  As globalization pervades an island nation that once
  prided  itself on isolationism\, communal traditions continue to give way
  to  contemporary desires of individualization. Tabaimo’s work offers an
   unblinking look at contemporary Japanese society as a mirror in which to
   view herself and other members of her generation caught in the  crossfir
 e of these societal shifts.  Her works capture the anxiety that  is a cons
 tant reality in a land whose &lt;em&gt;terra firma&lt;/em&gt; is less than  stable\, w
 hile their tone remains abstract and detached. Recurring  motifs\, includi
 ng cityscapes\, interior spaces\, hands\, brains\, hair\,  insects\, plant
 s and water\, hover between the elegantly rendered and the  disturbingly s
 urreal.\n \n Two of the works on view at James Cohan Gallery\, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em
 &gt;BLOW&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;danDAN&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; \, were first s
 hown in &lt;em&gt;Danmen&lt;/em&gt; \,  a solo exhibition that originated at the Yokoh
 ama Museum of Art in 2009  and traveled to the National Museum of Art\, Os
 aka. These two works are  multi-channel video and sound installations pres
 ented on elaborately  built stage sets. In addition\, the exhibition featu
 res &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;guignorama&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; \,  a single-channel work first 
 exhibited in the artist’s solo exhibition  at the Hara Museum in 2006. T
 his gallery exhibition marks the first time  these works are shown in the 
 United States.\n\nFor more information\, please visit http://www.jamescoha
