ONE WITH ETERNITY: YAYOI KUSAMA AT THE HIRSHHORN
Extended through spring, One with Eternity showcases the Hirshhorn’s permanent collection of works by Kusama, including two of her Infinity Mirror Rooms—her first and one of her most recent—that create a dazzling sensation of never-ending space. These transcendent rooms are exhibited alongside an early painting; sculptures, including Pumpkin (2016) and Flowers—Overcoat (1964); and photographs of the artist. This exhibition honors Kusama’s distinctive vision of self-obliteration by exploring its development across media while also underscoring the Museum’s mission: to present the most exciting art and ideas of our time. Free, timed-passes are required to experience One with Eternity: Yayoi Kusama in the Hirshhorn Collection. hirshhorn.si.edu.
“SEVEN METHODS OF KILLING KYLIE JENNER” AT WOOLLY
When Forbes Magazine declares Kylie Jenner a “self-made” billionaire, Cleo takes to Twitter to call out white women who co-opt and profit from Black culture. Soon online discourse spills into reality, blurring the tenuous lines between internet personas and who we are IRL. On the internet, actions don’t always speak louder than words. Tickets start at $29 and paywhat-you-will tickets are available for each performance. Seven Methods of Killing Kylie Jenner is at Woolly Mammoth, 641 D St. NW, from Feb. 4 to 26. woollymammoth.net.
