For commercial and fine art photographer Jay Hoops, exploration and experimentation drove her work. The Long Island photographer returned again and again to the Polaroid format, valued for its instantaneous results and trusted for its honest capture of a moment in time. Polaroids have no need for darkroom development or printing, which means little chance to manipulate an image—yet Hoops created a series of dreamy, atmospheric scenes with dramatic lighting and mysterious subjects that are difficult to explain. The exhibition is exclusive to the DAI.

A sense of joy and wonder is apparent in the art of American artist Alexander Calder. With his recognizable use of solid colors and floating shapes, the works express the artist’s delightful approach to artistic creation. This exhibition includes works from the collection, promised gifts as well as loans from private collections.

One of the outstanding series in the history of Japanese woodblock prints, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s 100 Aspects of the Moon is also the culmination of the artist’s career. Issued as individual prints from 1885–1892, the series is a tour-de-force, combining diverse, striking designs with dramatic historical and mythical stories from Japan’s past. Drawing a selection from the DAI’s complete set, the exhibition is presented in three installments, each focusing on a different theme in the series.
