DESCRIPTION:De Buck Gallery\n545 W 23rd Street\, New York\nDe Buck Gallery 
 is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition of works by acclaimed Japane
 se Gutai master Shozo Shimamoto. Do Something Interesting\, See Something 
 Odd\, delves ever deeper into Shimamoto&rsquo\;s revolutionary career traj
 ectory\, incorporating works dating from the 1960s Gutai period through th
 e artist&rsquo\;s death in 2013. The exhibition provides an overview of th
 e maturation of Shimamoto&rsquo\;s style and technique. Centerpieces inclu
 de examples of his trademark Bottle Crash series\, in which the artist cre
 ated lively\, abstract paint-smattered works by ceremoniously throwing bot
 tles and other containers full of pigment at otherwise blank canvases\, hi
 ghlighting the innovative performance-based methods and the energy\, visua
 lly documented within the works\, with which Shimamoto approached his art 
 over the course of his lengthy career. Pieces such as the 2011 Untitled (P
 ing Pong)\, which incorporates islands of ping pong balls across the surfa
 ce of the canvas\, exemplify a characteristic playfulness and desire to pu
 sh the limits of what is possible in art that embodies the very spirit of 
 Gutai\, and of Shimamoto&rsquo\;s work and life.\nAdmission:free\nWEB:<a h
