There's a residual energy to Cai Guo-Qiang's explosive works
Japanese artist Taro Okamoto once said, "Art is an explosion." This was despite the fact that his own works were carefully planned and developed, as the exhibition "Taro Okamoto's Paintings: From Impulse to Realization" at the Taro Okamoto Museum of Art made clear back in 2006. Okamoto's famous dictum, however, literally applies to the New-York-based Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang, who is famous for using gunpowder explosions to distribute colors and other effects across his expansive canvases.

Whistler: The misunderstood artistic rebel
Though his paintings may not look radical to us today, in his time, James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) often faced incomprehension — both through interpretations of his art and his own uncompromising stance toward it. Museumgoers in Japan now have a rare opportunity to decide for themselves the merits of his work, as the "James McNeill Whistler Retrospective" at the Yokohama Museum of Art is the first of its kind to be held in 20 years.

The importance of being Yokoyama
Big exhibitions of famous Japanese artists are usually held on important anniversaries of their birth or death. The Taikan Yokoyama exhibition now on at the Yokohama Museum of Art, however, breaks with this convention. Rather than marking the 150th, 100th or 50th anniversary of the birth or death of the artist in question, it instead marks that of an entirely different person, namely Tenshin Okakura, an important scholar and academic whose ideas were important in launching the nihonga (Japanese-style painting) movement of which Yokoyama was a part.

An art expedition to Southeast Asia
Confronting the ongoing state of transformation that characterizes their native Singapore, two artists exhibiting at a new exhibition, "Welcome to the Jungle," adopt quite different approaches and media. Francis Ng in "Constructing Construction #1" turns his camera on an unfinished section of an ugly new highway, a speeding bus whizzing by. Hong Sek Chern, meanwhile, applies Chinese ink to traditional rice paper to map out a multiple-faceted view of the country's public-housing apartments in "Constructing Old and New."
