While some museums are closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Apollo’s usual weekly pick of exhibitions will include shows at institutions that are currently open as well as digital projects providing virtual access to art and culture.
A close collaboration with the artist, this ambitious survey at the Gropius Bau in Berlin (23 April–15 August) allows visitors to lose themselves in full reconstructions of eight of Kusama’s exhibitions from between 1952 and 1983, revealing how her art developed from early abstract paintings to her celebrated immersive environments. Included are two of Kusama’s earliest exhibitions, held in her hometown of Matsumoto, followed by the installation ‘Aggregation: One Thousand Boats Show’, which was staged in New York in 1963. The survey also includes a new Infinity Room and an installation specially commissioned for the atrium of the museum. Find out more from the Gropius Bau’s website.
