~MISAKI KAWAI/MAKING A HOME/JAPAN SOCIETY

MISAKI KAWAI ALSO HAS A BIG INSTALLATION IN THE SHOW: ‘MAKING A HOME: JAPANESE CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS IN NEW YORK’, curated by ERIC C. SHINER.

in fact, it was Misaki who reminded us of the JAPAN SOCIETY show, when we crossed paths at the recent JOURNAL GALLERY opening: ‘CABINET OF CURIOSITIES’, curated by KATHY GRAYSON, in which Misaki also had work.
further, MISAKI KAWAI was unique – in being the sole artist – who had work in both shows.
