In Paintings Are Popstars, the National Art Center, Tokyo, is staging the first solo survey exhibition of the queer Japanese American artist Ei Arakawa-Nash. His performance works will occupy one of NACT’s cavernous galleries across nine sections, each addressing painting’s relationship to a different theme, such as parks, parenting, passports and prancing. Arakawa-Nash will perform weekly in what is also the museum’s first solo exhibition by a performance artist.

B. Ingrid Olson|XYZcollective|26 October – 24 NovemberB. Ingrid Olson’s darkly psychoanalytical and disorienting installation ‘Hys’fits perfectly at the bottom of a sharp set of stairs in this basement gallery. ‘Hys’, short for hysteria, mostly occupies a corner of the room – which, the artist writes in the exhibition literature, might equally be described as a crotch or a place in the mind. The work’s sangfroid tone thrums through a group of disagreeable objects.

Kazuko Miyamoto | Take Ninagawa | 1 June – 10 AugustKazuko Miyamoto, a Japanese-born artist who has spent most of her life in New York, has been a critically important contributor not only to minimalism but also to process-based sculpture and conceptual performance.
