If you happen to have some time (my suggestion would be to make some time) and are in New York through 16 Dec 2017, plan to see Yayoi Kusama's Festival of Life at the David Zwirner Gallery, 525 & 533 West 9th Street, New York. The line can get a little long, we waited about an hour and twenty minutes but 2-4 hours is kind of the norm and you can check on Twitter(?) to see what the wait time is. Well worth the wait to see her work in person.

Artist Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Room
The box structure that contains the infinity room has cut out windows where visitors can view the interior. The windows are tinted so the very colorful interior is transformed. I shot this blind by lowering the camera and holding it in such a way as to block the reflections. If you look closely to the right in the big red circle you can see me holding the camera.

Marcel Dzama is one of my favorite contemporary illustrators. Last night I got the chance to see the world premiere of Marcel Dzama's film "Sad Ghost" and "The Lotus Eaters" at MoMA. A live band performed an original sountrack to the Lotus Eaters portion of the film. It was great. Amazing-great. Also, I expected Marcel to be an old man (for whatever reason), but he is young and hip and beautiful. (crussshhhh!) If you have the chance to see this anywhere I highly highly recommend it.
Here is a full description of the program: www.moma.org/exhibitions/film_media/2006/Marcel_Dzama.html
See Dzama's work: www.davidzwirner.com/artists/10/
"Dzama’s fantastical, subversively humorous, and poignant films combine live action, animation, puppetry, and painted sets, and are populated by tree people, Berlin bears, cowboys, amputees, and humanoid animals. The artist’s sophisticated primitivism and use of rudimentary cinematic trickery recall such silent-era pioneers as Georges Méliès."

21.03.09 - 21.06.09
"All That Is Solid Melts Into Air is organised by the Antwerp museum of contemporary art MuHKA as part of a large-scale, city-wide program of events, exhibitions and projects devoted to the question of the role of the spiritual and the status of spiritual experience in contemporary ‘post-secular’ society.
The focal point of All That Is Solid Melts Into Air is an attempt to articulate, in five distinct chapters, the seeming or real paradox of what could be called a materialist spirituality – the fundamental dialectic of spirit (animus) and matter that is one of the defining features of what is commonly called ‘art’, or ‘culture’ more generally.
Five exhibitions, curated by MuHKA's team of curators and comprising close to a hundred artists in total, seek to shed light on art's timeless quest for the added value of the spiritual that lurks within the materiality of the world."
Team of curators: Edwin Carels, Bart De Baere, Liliane De Wachter, Dieter Roelstraete, Grant Watson / Project coordinator: Robert Ghesquière / Coproduction: MuHKA & MMMechelen vzw in collaboration with Cultuurcentrum Mechelen /

Yayoi Kusama Japanese b. 1929
Statue of Venus Obliterated by Infinity Nets , 1998
Acrylic paint on fiberglass and canvas
From the very beginning of her career, Yayoi Kusama has had herself photographed in front of her paintings and within her installations painted or dressed to match her surroundings, representing her self-obliteration in which she feels herself “dissolving and accumulating, proliferating and separating” into her art. In the 1960s, Kusama staged pioneering art performances, or happenings, in which she painted groups of nude performers with polka dots. Her Venus series related to her career-spanning obliteration of the human body in her work.
In 1998, Yayoi Kusama was “rediscovered” when her early New York period was featured in a major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. In the midst of this acceptance from the art establishment, Kusama created her Venus series for a show of her recent work at a Manhattan gallery. The Memorial Art Gallery’s Venes is number five from the edition of ten, each painted with a different pair of colors. Kusama wrote “I placed ten life-size reproductions of the Venus de Milo ( Alexandros of Antioch, 130-100 BCE, Louvre Museum) in a circle inside the gallery space…The body of Venus, the paragon of physical beauty, disappeared among the nets.”
The strong visual vibration experienced by viewers is created by the pairing of bright green and pink and the infinity net pattern; the effect references the artist’s New York period during the height of the psychedelic 1960s. The disorienting optical experience enhances the sensation of the figure’s dissolution into the relentless pattern.
