Immersed: Local to Global Art Sensations
Internationally celebrated Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity (2009), cover image, immerses the viewer in an enclosed, mirrored, seemingly infinite space. A constellation of lights brightens into the expanse, only to slowly fade back into darkness so that the cycle can begin again. The work asks viewers to think about not just placement in local or global settings, but in the entire universe. Kusama’s vision of a better society through creativity, and dedication to creating objects and environments that unite and heal, is itself a mirror to San Antonio as the city reflects on its 300-year history.
