December, 4th, 2013, New York, NY, USA : David Zwirner presents " I Who Have Arrived In Heaven, " the gallery's inaugural exhibition with Yayoi Kusama which spans the three locations of the gallery. The exhibition features twenty seven new large scale paintings alongside a recent video installation and two mirrored infinity rooms one of which is made especially for this presentation. Yayoi Kusama's work has transcended two of the most important art movements of the second half of the twentieth century : pop art and minimalisim. The exhibition reflects the artists long standing interest in cosmic realms and resonates with the autobiolgraphical that runs through the artists oeuvre.There are two "infinity rooms, " called " The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, " using hundreds of LED lights suspended from the ceiling, and " Love Is Calling, " a kaleidoscopic darkened mirrored room illuminated by inflatable, tentacle-like-forms covered in polka dots.Also exhibited is, " Manhattan Suicide Addict " a recent video projection in which the artist is seen performing a song she composed while an animated slideshow moves behind her.This presentation of Yayoi Kusama's work makes it's United States debut.
