For a New World to Come - Keiji Uematsu - Cutting
In 1971, artist Keiji Uematsu created the site-specific sculptural piece, Cutting, in an exploration of the unseen forces that define our bodies’ relationship to the spaces we inhabit – balance, gravity, and tension. The artist has since re-created the work in various exhibitions, including once before in New York City, at P.S. 1 in 1980. Each iteration of Cutting represents a unique event, with the artist himself carefully orchestrating the installation within the space.

On October 6, 2015, Uematsu came to Japan Society to install Cutting in our North Gallery as part of the exhibition, For a New World to Come: Experiments in Japanese Art and Photography, 1968-1979.
October 9, 2015–January 10, 2016
In the wake of the social and political upheaval of the late 1960s, Japanese artists and photographers began crafting a new visual language for an age of uncertainty. Their embrace of camera-based experiments would alter the cultural landscape and lay the foundations for contemporary art in Japan. For a New World to Come is the first comprehensive exhibition to spotlight this radical break with the past. With some 200 works by such luminaries as Ishiuchi Miyako, Daidō Moriyama, Jirō Takamatsu, and Shōmei Tōmatsu, the exhibition charts the stunning diversity of photographic practices during this pivotal era, from conceptual series situated squarely within global artistic currents, to visually arresting meditations on time, place, and self.
For a New World to Come was organized by The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH). It is co-presented in New York City with the Grey Art Gallery, New York University, where a portion of the show is on view from Sept. 11 to Dec. 5, 2015.
