Tabaimo: Utsutsushi Utsushi (Through Feb 26): Utsutsushi Utsushi, by acclaimed Japanese artist Tabaimo, is the third in a series of solo exhibitions by already well-known contemporary Japanese artists who nevertheless have not shown much in Seattle, presented by the Asian Art Museum. (The series began with Mr. in 2014 and continued in 2015 with Chiho Aoshima.) Each exhibition has been distinguished by not just being a prepackaged touring show but rather for including premieres of new works. Of the eight video installations in Tabaimo’s Seattle show, she created four particularly for this exhibition. For inspiration, she used pieces in the museum’s own personal collection, including the famous gold crows screens. The historical works are presented in a display adjacent to the new pieces in an exploration of the Japanese concept of “utsushi”—the emulation of masterworks as a form of artistic education.
