David Zwirner New York is hosting 20/20, a group exhibition of internationally acclaimed artists including paintings and sculptures by Yayoi Kusama, Kerry James Marshall, Nate Lowman, Toba Khedoori, Shio Kusaka, Carol Bove, and many others.
“The world has never faced such uncertainty: everything from our understanding of public health and racial injustice to our geopolitical order and our social and environmental responsibilities is being challenged and rethought. 2020 may go down as the watershed year when the deck was reshuffled; and while we don’t know the future, our minds are busy speculating, anxiously rethinking and looking for a vision beyond,” said the gallery in a statement.
20/20 is on view until December 19. Take a look at the highlights from the exhibition and read Kusama’s message relaying her reflections on the year below.
I find it so lamentable,
The alarming, unwonted ordeal that has come upon us.
O demons of unwonted fate.
We will stand and face you.
We will stand and face you.
Through my art I go on manifesting, with all my heart, my reverence and
love for the cosmos, the world, and all humanity.
Our aspiration for a resplendent future begins with this.
Our resplendent hope is sure to be fulfilled.
