Yayoi Kusama, the Japanese artist created an infinity mirror room, Love is Calling, at the famed David Zwirner Gallery.
You stand on the corner with bated breath because you know something exceptional waits just around the corner, Kusama’s installation. You do not growl at passersby or complain that your toes might be frostbitten. If you are smelling death and decay, you know you are in the right spot. The odor is due in part to the nearby water treatment center and meatpacking plants-fancy. It stinks, literally, not exactly the ambiance of an art gallery.
If you had your druthers, this is not the most charming corner of town where you would loiter. It is nearly Thanksgiving, and you find yourself on West 19th bundled up in the Meatpacking District, stamping your feet to keep warm in a line of people snaking all the way around to 10th Avenue.
