The Broad 美術館在剛過去的9月1日中午網上開售草間彌生特展的門票,短短兩個小時內,5 萬張門票被一掃而空,好多人好失望喔。。。不要緊,丫丫帶給你好消息!

記住 10月2日這個日子吧~~當天中午, The Broad 將會再推出一批新的門票發售,總數有 4 萬張之多!原因是美術館將展覽開放時間每週加長 14小時,並增加入場人數限制,這樣一來,就能讓更多人加入了。不想錯過第二次機會,記得在手機上設定提示功能吧!

售票日期:10月2日中午起於 The Broad官網開賣


 

這次展覽將展出六間草間彌生創作的無限鏡廳,讓大家也能好好體驗草間彌生在不同心境下創造出不同題材的無限鏡廳;另外,草間彌生的另一個著名作品~~ The Obliteration Room 也會同時展出,觀眾可以親身在這個純白的房間中貼上五彩繽紛的貼紙,將這看似無趣、純白的美國郊區小房間轉變成為一個充滿彩色斑點的互動藝術作品。而且,還有展出超過 60幅草間的畫作與雕刻展出。

The Broad’s first visiting special exhibition, Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors—the first institutional survey to explore the celebrated Japanese artist’s immersive Infinity Mirror Rooms—will embark on the most significant North American tour of her work in nearly two decades, and The Broad will be the only California museum to host the exhibition (October 21, 2017–January 1, 2018)

Since opening in September 2015, The Broad has featured Kusama’s installation Infinity Mirrored Room – The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, 2013, from the Broad collection. One of the most popular artworks on view at The Broad, the installation is a mirror-lined chamber populated with a dazzling and seemingly vast array of LED lights creating a disorienting sense of limitless space. The work will be accessible to free general admission ticketholders through September 30, 2017, when it will temporarily transition to be included in the special exhibition through early January 2018. After the close of the special exhibition, the Infinity Mirrored Room will once again be accessible to free general admission ticketholders.

Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors will provide visitors with the unique opportunity to experience six of Kusama’s infinity rooms—the artist’s most iconic kaleidoscopic environments—alongside large-scale installations and key paintings, sculptures and works on paper from the early 1950s to the present, which contextualize the foundational role the concept of infinity has played in the artist’s work over many decades and through diverse media. The exhibition also marks the North American debut of numerous new works by the 88-year-old artist, who is still actively creating in her Tokyo studio. These include large-scale, vibrantly colored paintings and the recently realized infinity room, All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins, 2016, featuring dozens of her signature bright yellow, dotted pumpkins.

“Our Infinity Mirrored Room has become a cultural phenomenon and many of our visitors are extremely passionate about Kusama’s work,” said Joanne Heyler, founding director of The Broad. “The timing is right for an exhibition that contextualizes the infinity rooms and brings Kusama’s contributions to 20th and 21st century art into deeper focus. We are thrilled to present this unprecedented special exhibition at The Broad next year that engages seven decades of work by a phenomenal artist.”
