Yayoi Kusama: I Spend Each Day Embracing Flowers
David Zwirner – May 11 to July 21, 2023 New York (US)

 

 

 

 

 

David Zwirner is pleased to announce I Spend Each Day Embracing Flowers, an exhibition of works by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama that will feature new paintings, new sculptures elaborating on her signature motifs of pumpkins and flowers, and a new Infinity Mirror Room. Presented across the gallery’s 519, 525, and 533 West 19th Street locations in New York, this will mark ten years since Kusama’s first solo show with David Zwirner in 2013 and will be one of her largest gallery exhibitions to date.

Yayoi Kusama has shared the following message about her forthcoming exhibition:

I’ve Sung the Mind of Kusama Day by Day, a Song from the Heart.
O Youth of Today, Let Us Sing Together a Song from the Heart of the Universe!

Monumental flower sculptures.

The exhibition is named after three monumental flower sculptures, each titled I Spend Each Day Embracing Flowers, which occupy 519 West 19th Street. Since the 1950s, Kusama has repeatedly engaged flowers and plants as motifs in her work, inspired by her fascination with the natural world. Experienced in the round, the immense blooms invite the audience to partake in a wholly immersive experience that suggests the atmosphere of a lush garden. At the opposite end of the exhibition, at 533 West 19th Street, three massive undulating pumpkin sculptures transfigure the organic forms reimagined by Kusama over several long decades. These wall-like structures situate viewers in a space that envelops them in her characteristic polka dots.

Keith Haring: Art is for Everybody

Keith Haring: Art is for Everybody

Keith Haring: Art is for Everybody
The Broad – May 27 to Oct 08, 2023 Los Angeles (US)

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Broad will present the first-ever museum exhibition in Los Angeles of Keith Haring’s expansive body of work and will feature over 120 artworks and archival materials. Known for his use of vibrant color, energetic linework and iconic characters like the barking dog and the radiant baby, Haring’s work continues to dissolve barriers between art and life and spread joy, all while being rooted in the creative spirit and mission of his subway drawings and renowned public murals: art is for everybody. Curated by Broad curator and exhibition manager Sarah Loyer, the exhibition will explore both Haring’s artistic practice and life, with much of the source material for the exhibition coming from his personal journals.

Ten galleries.

Divided into ten galleries in total, the expansive exhibition will feature the breadth of mediums Haring worked within, including video, sculpture, drawing, painting, and graphic works, as well as representations from the artist’s enormous output of public projects, from the subway drawings to his public murals. Works presented span from the late-1970s when he was a student at the School of Visual Arts in New York up until 1988, just two years before the artist died from AIDS-related illness at the age of 31. Haring’s participation in nuclear disarmament and anti-Apartheid movements are featured prominently in the show, as well as works that take on complex issues that remain crucial today from environmentalism, capitalism, and the proliferation of new technologies to religion, sexuality, and race. In the last gallery, significant works from the late 1980s will be accompanied by framed posters illustrating the artist’s activism within the HIV/AIDS crisis.

Louise Bourgeois:  Imaginary Conversations
The National Gallery – May 06 to Aug 06, 2023 Oslo (Norway)

 

 

 

 

 

Refusing to be content with a single, fixed expression or to be confined by a single artistic movement, the French-American artist Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) explored a variety of styles and techniques that few artists can rival. The exhibition “Imaginary Conversations” stages encounters between Bourgeois and other artists. Some of these encounters took place during Bourgeois’s almost century-long life, while others occur across time and space. This is the first major presentation of Bourgeois’s art in Norway in over twenty years.

1940s.

Works from her entire career are presented, from her paintings and prints from the 1940s to the Cells she created in her final decades. “Imaginary Conversations” also allows you to experience artworks by over fifty other artists, including Edvard Munch, Marie Laurencin, Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Arshile Gorky, Louise Nevelson, Senga Nengudi, Alina Szapocznikow, Seni Awa Camara, Nan Goldin, Robert Gober, and Rosemarie Trockel. Many of the works are being shown in Norway for the first time ever.

European parliament – May 02 to 05, 2023 Brussels (Belgium)

 

 

 

 

 

An exhibition of photos by Swedish photographer Elisabeth Ohlson.

On the occasion of the Swedish presidency in the European Council, Member of the European Parliament Malin Björk has invited Swedish photographer Elisabeth Ohlson to show some of her images in the European Parliament.

Ecce Homo in 1998.

Ohlson had her artistic breakthrough with Ecce Homo in 1998 in a Swedish cathedral, in which she showed a series of images of Jesus depicted together with LGBTQI people. The exhibition then toured around the world. However, when former MEP Marianne Eriksson of the Swedish Left Party tried to show Ecce Homo in the European Parliament, she was stopped by the questors, as they found the images too offensive.

Welcome to the opening reception with Elisabeth Ohlson on Tuesday, May 2 at 18h in the JAN 3 Q Area. Drinks and snacks will be served.

Welcome also on Wednesday, May 3 at 13h-14.30h in ASP 1 G 2, when Elisabeth Ohlson will give a lecture about her work. A light lunch will be served.

For visitors who need accreditation to the European Parliament for the events, please send an email to charlotta.narvehed@europarl.europa.eu with your name, date of birth, nationality and passport or ID number.

Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now
Guggenheim Bilbao – Jun 27 to Oct 08, 2023

 

 

 

 

 

Retrospective exhibition of Japanese artist and writer Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929, Matsumoto, Nagano), a singular voice recovered by the history of art and situated in the place that she deserves, turning her into a global cultural icon. During the last seven decades, Kusama has firmly chased her vanguardist vision, perfecting a unique personal aesthetic and a life-central philosophy. Her work captivates us with unlimited spaces and reflections on the natural regeneration cycles.

Extensive retrospective.

Yayoi Kusama narrates the artist’s life and work history, bringing to the foreground her longing for interconnectedness and the deep questions about the existence that drive her creative explorations. The most extensive retrospective of the artist celebrated in the last decade in Spain with nearly 200 artworks—paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, and archive material that document her happenings and performances—the exhibition examines Kusama’s work since her first drawings as a teenager, during World War II, until her most recent immersive installations. Organized chronologically and thematically, the show recreates Kusama’s central themes: Infinity, Accumulation, Radical Connectivity, Biocosmic, Death, and Force of Life, an in-depth view of the obsessive universe of an artist who has been trying for decades to shake up our universe with her work “to cure all humanity.”

Stepping Out! Female Identities in Chinese Contemporary Art

Stepping Out! Female Identities in Chinese Contemporary Art

Stepping Out! Female Identities in Chinese Contemporary Art
Museum der Moderne Salzburg – Until Jun 25, 2023 Salzburg (Austria)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stepping Out! Female Identities in Chinese Contemporary Art is the first exhibition in twenty-five years to offer a comprehensive survey of the output of Chinese women artists working today. Taking outspoken and sometimes provocative stances, women artists began in the late 1980s to challenge the dominance of their male colleagues on the Chinese contemporary arts scene.

Twenty-six selected artists.

Grappling with the tensions between a powerful tradition, the political ideology of the Party, and transformative economic changes, the twenty-six selected artists examine and document individual and societal fears, contradictions, and hopes, which they often expose with unsparing frankness. The representative selection includes both pioneers and young artists who are virtually unknown to Austrian audiences. The exhibition and publication project aims to correct the glaring imbalance in the visibility of women artists from China and point up the enormous diversity and relevance of their work.

Haegue Yang: Several Reenactments

Haegue Yang: Several Reenactments

Haegue Yang: Several Reenactments
S.M.A.K. Ghent – April 22 to Sep 10, 2023 Gent (Belgium)

 

 

 

 

 

The intriguing and refined approaches of Haegue Yang encompass large-scale sculptures and installations as well as works on paper, photography, video, sound and text. Her works are also distinguished by its formal agility and its capacity to convey various ideas, histories, perceptions and emotions. The central hall of Several Reenactments at S.M.A.K. is occupied by seventeen sculptural units titled Warrior Believer Lover. Version Sonic (2023). These sculptural ensembles are reenactments of her previous multi-part installation Warrior Believer Lover (2011). Constituting a horizontally open sculptural field, Warrior Believer Lover – Version Sonic will be accompanied by Igor Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps (1913) among other works by Yang, while the wings on both sides of the hall mirror each other and build a symmetry.

Industrially manufactured.

Yang’s works are primarily composed of industrially manufactured objects, yet possess a remarkable richness due to their artisanal or rigorous arrangements. The ideas of this seemingly oppositional dialectic running through her works, as other notions like abstract and figurative, mechanical and organic, traditional and forward-looking, constantly mirror each other. In response to today’s bold and urgent global issues about migration, identity and community, Yang proposes a discreet yet firm artistic commitment. Excavating from unexpected, even imagined encounters, complex cross-linkages and sometimes contradictory translations of forms, lives, cultures, eras, traditions and practices, she unearths not only shared meanings, but also distils new contemporary entities.

Antony Gormley – Umwelt

Antony Gormley – Umwelt

Antony Gormley – Umwelt
Thaddaeus Ropac – Until May 20, 2023 Salzburg (Austria)

 

 

 

 

 

 

This exhibition brings together my most recent attempts to reconcile the first and the second body. If the first body, our material, biological body, is our first dwelling, then the second is our built environment, which we have become part of and largely dependent upon. These works attempt to map and materialise the interactions between these two bodies.—Antony Gormley

Villa Kast.

Conceived for Villa Kast and responding to the context of this former family home, the exhibition Umwelt comprises sculptures from Antony Gormley’s recent investigations in living space where the body is seen as a place rather than an object. As the title indicates, the works on view explore in drawing and sculpture the dynamics between the internal condition of the human body and its environment (‘Umwelt’), testing its boundaries and permeability. ‘On one level, the human body can be understood as a closed system,’ states the artist, ‘but on another level, it is open to all the variables of its context. The question of where our bodies end and surroundings begin is an open question and leads to open work.’

Hammer Projects: Chiharu Shiota
Hammer Museum –  March 26 to Aug 27, 2023 Los Angeles (US)

 

 

 

 

 

Chiharu Shiota (b. 1972, Osaka) is a Berlin-based artist whose installations, sculpture, and performance art invoke psychogeographic spaces of memory. Emotions, and the cyclical nature of life and death. Using red, black, or white yarn as a base material, Shiota often creates meticulously webbed environments that span the length of entire galleries and mimic organic forms such as cobwebs, veins, and fractals. Shiota also includes a range of found objects in her work such as wooden chairs, abandoned shoes, rusted keys, and used dresses as a strategy to implicate the viewer in the artist’s personal narratives that are often universal experiences.

Unique & visceral installation.

Shiota will be the inaugural artist featured in the Hammer’s redesigned lobby and will envelop the area with a unique and visceral installation.
