DESCRIPTION:From the exhibition website (gardenofunearthlydelightsexhibitio
 n.com) :\n\nA monster tsunami uproots a city. Modern tough guys lock  samu
 rai-style in battle. Candy-colored streams of animals and flowers  hyperpi
 xelate. These dramatic visual moments are among those to be  encountered i
 n <em>Garden of Unearthly Delights: Works by Ikeda\, Tenmyouya &amp\; team
 Lab</em> .\n\nManabu Ikeda (b. 1973)\, Hisashi Tenmyouya (b. 1966)\, and t
 he art and  technology collective teamLab (est. 2001) are artistic visiona
 ries who  are shaping today&rsquo\;s Japanese art and culture. But each al
 so harkens back  to the Japanese tradition of the master craftsmen\, <em>t
 akumi</em> \, in  the level of technical precision and detail they bring t
 o the creation  of complex images. This exhibition introduces over twenty 
 intricate  allegorical paintings\, installations\, and digital works by th
 ese three  artists.\n\nThe featured works find an affinity in the hallucin
 atory vision of <em>The Garden of Earthly Delights</em> \,  the fantastica
 l triptych by the fifteenth-century Dutch painter  Hieronymus Bosch. Just 
 as Bosch did\, these three artists collage  together imagery and concepts 
 relating to different places and times in  the past\, present\, and future
 . The results are allegorical depictions of  urgent cultural and social is
 sues in a manner informed by their  contemporary environment&mdash\; today
 &rsquo\;s world of spectacle and information  overload.\n\nThere is a plur
 ality of approach to mediums in these artists&rsquo\; works\,  and yet\, s
 een together\, it makes clear some of the notable  characteristics of toda
 y&rsquo\;s Japanese art shared by all of them&mdash\;the  obsessive attent
 ion to detail requiring a vertigo-inducing amount of  time to execute\, an
 d total immersion in the dense and fast-changing  visual sensations of the
  information society.\n\nMonday &ndash\; Friday\, 9:30 AM &ndash\; 5:30 PM
 \n Japan Society will be closed October 13.\n Phone: (212) 832-1155\n Box
