Review of David Zwirner

The Yayoi Kusama Festival of Life exhibition is no...

The Yayoi Kusama Festival of Life exhibition is now showing at David Zwirner in Chelsea, NYC. The exhibition was really nice. If you don't mind to wait on long lines to get inside, then you are a real New Yorker. I went on a Thursday and it took me about 1 hour and 15 minutes to get in. The wait time may vary depending on what day of the week you go on. The wait may be about 2 hours if you go closer to the weekend or on the weekend. Since it's first showing in LA, it has become very popular and people from all over are now coming to see what the hype is all about in NYC. Doors open at 10am daily. Closed on Sundays.There were only a few rooms, so you can see everything in just a matter of minutes (about 15 min), depending on how long you want to stay. But some of the rooms you will be rushed out of by the workers since they try to keep everyone moving so that they can get everyone behind you inside as quickly as possible.
The mirror rooms are pretty cool, great for pictures. You are allowed to take videos and photography. But you are not allowed to touch anything inside. And the workers will remind you of this. There is one large room with paintings that go all around the room and and art piece of flowers in the center of the room. This was probably my favorite room which is full of color and pretty impressive art work. There is also another showcase of Yayoi Kusama's Inifinity mirrors in the Upper East side.
