Recently, the New Museum had a mid-career show of the Brazilian artist, Rivane Neuenschwander called, "A Day Like Any Other." I didn't make it but my bff and her husband did and raved. It's easy to see why. Colorful and sweet, strong and filled with curiosity and compassion. A tenderness and an accessibility. A call to participation.
Many great works, but below a sampling from
I Wish Your Wish.
Thousands of ribbons printed with collected wishes from strangers/viewers in the past displayed. Visitors invited to take one and replace with a piece of paper on which their own wish is scribbled. Poignent, sad, uplifting and beautiful and wonderful!
