Rebirth: Recent Work by Mariko Mori - "White Hole"

Rebirth: Recent Work by Mariko Mori

Friday, October 11 — Sunday, January 12

Displayed for the first time in North America, White Hole is one of the key works in Japan Society's current exhibition Rebirth: Recent Work by Mariko Mori. On view until January 12, 2014, this piece highlights the quiet, contemplative quality of many of Mori's creations in the last decade.



An icon of 1990s Japanese pop art, the visionary artist Mariko Mori has always transformed herself effortlessly and faster than anyone else into the future. Japan Society Gallery presents her latest countenance in this major solo exhibition, Rebirth, as a significant artistic statement by Mori. The entire gallery space is transformed into Mori's world through 35 sculptures, drawings, photographs, sound and video works, strung together into a narrative of birth, death and rebirth—a continuous circle of life force that the artist observes on a cosmic scale. Journey through space, time and consciousness in this immersive installation.
