In this time, where death is literally in the air, it's always gratifying to find something that is very much alive -- something not only living but thriving, bursting with vitality ... blooming.
As the second Spring of our COVID discontent unfolds, some contentment can be found in the Bronx. The New York Botanical Garden is unveiling a huge new exhibition by the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama called Cosmic Nature. A series of sculptures, some old and new, are set around the gardens and are "twists", multi-dimensional interpretations of the natural world -- pumpkins, lakes, and other parts of nature are re-imagined, intertwined with the real thing. The imaginative scale of this exhibit is ... cosmic!
If you ever wonder if NYC and art are worht it, this is it!
