WHEN+ADD TO CALENDAR
February 21, 2019 - April 13, 2019
An Oscars celebration that draws inspiration from Mahayana Buddhism, GYATEI² sees the iconoclastic Japanese artist’s signature cast of characters assert themselves in previously unseen forms. A whimsical, sharp-toothed Mickey Mouse–like figure looms large, while images of doorways, graffiti of the word “viral,” and a self-portrait of the artist and his dog are overlaid onto dense graphic patterns.
