Yayoi Kusama – Narcissus Garden May 1 – November 30, 2016
To celebrate its tenth public tour season and the 110th anniversary of Philip Johnson’s birth, the Glass House will present Yayoi Kusama: Narcissus Garden. On view will be a new iteration of Yayoi Kusama’s Narcissus Garden (1966/2016). Comprising 1,400 mirrored globes, each approximately 11 inches in diameter, the Narcissus Garden will be installed within the pastoral 49-acre landscape of the Glass House campus.
The exhibition Robert Rauschenberg: Spreads and Related Works is a group of paintings and works on paper chosen to compliment the painting Recital (Spread), 1980 which Philip Johnson purchased that same year and is now included in the permanent collection of the Glass House. This exhibition is organized by David White, Senior Curator of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.
Gerard + Kelly: Modern Living May 13 + 14, 2016
Modern Living, a new project by Gerard & Kelly, brings into dialogue two homes lived in by the architects who built them – the landmark Schindler House in West Hollywood, California, and Philip Johnson’s Glass House. The project explores themes of queer intimacy and domestic space within legacies of modernist architecture.
Ivy Baldwin Dance: Keen (Part 1) May 22, 2016
Choreographer Ivy Baldwin’s latest work, a new piece commissioned by the Glass House, brings a powerful yet often hidden emotion to life within the Glass House and its dramatic grounds. Keen (Part 1) embodies the emotional and physical experience of loss, memory and holding love, and filters it through the lens of serene Modernism and chaotic wilderness.
