"For its second commissioned art show in Tokyo, luxury giant Louis Vuitton invited Brooklyn-based artist Alyson Shotz to conceive a work for display at the firm\u2019s swank flagship. The airy glass cube that sits atop the Omotesando store, designed in 2002 by Jun Aoki and dubbed the Espace Vuitton, is an ideal venue for Shotz\u2019s sculptures, whose shiny surfaces are activated by changes in light and atmosphere.As her exhibition \u201CGeometry of Light\u201D winds down its run on December 25, Shotz recently joined Nat Trotman, associate curator at the Guggenheim in New York, for an artist talk with a handpicked group of Japanese art-world denizens \u2014 including collector Yoshiko Morita, the widow of Sony founder Akio Morita, and media artist Mikami Seiko \u2014 and Vuitton patrons.Encompassing ideas of transience and change, matter and antimatter, and transparency and opaqueness, Shotz\u2019s work shares a subtle affinity with Eastern philosophy and Japanese culture. \u201CFor me,\u201D she says, \u201Can ideal artwork is one that you can never know.\u201DClick the accompanying slide show to see Shotz's new work, accompanied by her commentary on the piece.[content:shareblock]&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
