yama-bato: Requiem For The Sun: The Art Of Mono-Ha by Blum & PoeLocation: Blum & Poe Date: 25 Feb - 14 Apr 2012 This exhibition examines the postwar Japanese artistic phenomenon Mono-ha (School of Things), following the solo exhibition of Mono-ha’s key ideologue, Lee Ufan at the gallery in January 2010.
