Jonah Bokaer's "On Vanishing" riffs on Korean sculptor Lee Ufan's "Relatum-signal" at the Asia Society Texas Center Thursday and Friday, while Stephan Koplowitz enlivens the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall near the Galleria with "Natural Acts in Artificial Water" Saturday and Sunday. Bokaer, who's had a two-week residency from the University of Houston's Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts, first matched wits with Lee's highly mindful sculpture last year at New York's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, where a similar piece from the "Relatum" series was part of a major Lee retrospective. [...] Bokaer's five dancers (including himself) could touch the sculpture - two boulders and a steel slab - in Frank Lloyd Wright's wide-open, helix-shaped space. The Asia Society's sculpture sits in a rooftop garden with a limited viewing area and a base of pebbles - ouch, not for dancing. Across town, Stephan Koplowitz has been dealing with rain, not the H�0 he had in mind when he began exploring sites around Houston last year for "Natural Acts in Artificial Water," and the city was drought-stricken. Known partly for large-scale works that respond to architecture, Koplowitz last worked in Houston 12 years ago to help inaugurate the Humanities Building at Rice University.
