The "SP Extra: Malformed Noh-Mask Series Half Skeleton’s Twins: Tosaka", (2008) is series of works by Motohiko Odani exhibited at the Bye Bye Kitty!!!-Between Heaven and Hell in Contemporary Japanese Art exhibition, launched a few days before in NY's Japan Society.
In light of the recent tragedy in Japan a number of related programs are taking place in conjunction with the exhibition. The donation of 50 percent of all ticket sales to aid victims of the devastation announced and the organization’s Japan Earthquake Relief Fund has already raised over $500,000; you can also contribute directly by making an online donation.
What is also striking regarding the interests of this blog, is the inextricable relation of disability aesthetics and the ways that devastating disasters get into the realm of aesthetics (although this is might not be a very clear example). The relation of disability aesthetics and the introduction of any disaster into an analysis of its aesthetic impact seems to be one of the most controversial subject matters of disability aesthetics and needs a lot more close and careful examination or study.
