DESCRIPTION:From <a href="http://noguchi.org/programs/exhibitions/space-cho
 reographed-noguchi-and-ruth-page">noguchi.org</a> :\n\n<em>Space\, Choreog
 raphed: Noguchi and Ruth Page</em> was developed in  a collaboration betwe
 en The Noguchi Museum and The Ruth Page  Foundation\, building on a group 
 of drawings Noguchi made of the great  American avant-garde dancer and cho
 reographer Ruth Page posing in a sack  dress he designed in 1933 to transf
 orm her into a dynamic embodiment of  his sculpture <em>Miss Expanding Uni
 verse</em> (1932).\n\nThat piece had emerged from Noguchi's extensive effo
 rts to find a  distinctive way to abstract the human figure- efforts great
 ly enhanced  by his contact with modern dance\, and Page's form in particu
 lar- his  study of ink wash painting with the Chinese painter Qi Baishi\, 
 and his  best friend\, the eccentric futurist genius Buckminster Fuller\, 
 a sort of  Three Musketeers of American ability and aspiration\, had been 
  captivated by a series of lectures popularizing Edwin Hubble's recent  di
 scovery that the universe was neither static nor tidily Copernican. It  is
  hard to conceive a better visual metaphor for Hubble's new picture  of th
 e universe\, a pulsating amoeba of out-rushing matter\, than Page in  Nogu
 chi's sack dress.\n\nThe exhibition explores Noguchi and Page's personal r
 elationship and  their two professional collaborations: the constellation 
 of objects and  performances that includes <em>Miss Expanding Universe</em
 > \, the dress and the dances it inspired and Page's post- World War II da
 nce <em>The Bells</em> \,  based on Edgar Allen Poe's poem of the same nam
 e\, for which Noguchi  designed costumes and a set. The exhibition has bee
 n scheduled to  coincide with <em>Isamu Noguchi and Qi Baishi: Beijing 193
 0</em> \, also on view at the Museum this fall.\n\nImage: <em>Ruth Page in
