Hirokazu Kosaka: Art and Asymmetry will contextualize the evolution of Kosaka’s artmaking from his solo visual, sound, landscape, and body experiments of the early 1970s to his current large-scale, collaborative, and socially involved projects that seamlessly incorporate contemporary art concepts with ideas and traditions of calligraphy, Zen archery, Enso painting, Noh drama, Bunraku puppetry and Kabuki theater as well as Shingon Buddhism.

The Japanese American Cultural and Community Center is hosting Hirokazu Kosaka: Art and Asymmetry and welcomes partnerships with local arts organizations in this endeavor, especially among those that have previously commissioned or exhibited Kosaka’s visual art installations or presented his cross-genre performances. Research themes include Buddhism’s influence on Avant Garde art, the arts of Zen archery and calligraphy, migration and the Silk Road’s current cultural reverberations, the Gutai Art Association, Fluxus movement and the evolution of West Coast performance art.

“The Warhol Foundation aims to support the full range of artistic activity in America—from exhibitions at major museums to neighborhood projects by artist collectives. Arts writers, through the range and specialization of their individual interests, touch upon all of this activity—illuminating and interrogating it and bringing it into conversation with the public. Support for artists is not complete without support for the circulation and serious consideration of their ideas. The Arts Writers Grant program keeps artists at the center of cultural dialogue and debate—in our opinion, right where they belong.”
