Aspiring to Pumpkin’s Love, the Love in My Heart

Three massive painted bronze undulating pumpkin sculptures, each titled ‘Aspiring to Pumpkin’s Love, the Love in My Heart’, debuting a new form that transfigures the organic pumpkin shapes Kusama has reimagined over several decades.

These wall-like structures situate viewers in a space that envelops them in her characteristic polka dots.

Cloud display is an 8 meter wide vertical fountain containing 1600 atomizers that serve as pixels which display words through voice detection.

This piece is part of Lozano-Hemmer’s touring show “Atmospheric Memory” and has been installed in Manchester, UK in 2019 and at UN North Carolina, USA in 2021.

Halfway between urban cartography and comic book panels, each manipulated frame evokes either a solid architectural structure, a playful event, or poetically revives a fragment of memory. The expressive, organic lines and vibrant colors visually tell the story of the city's (Montreal) liveliness, its inhabitants, and their achievements.

Inspired by advertising billboards, this analog interactive wall allows passers-change the artworks shown by turning a dial.

Sphere Packing: Bach is a spherical room 3 metres in diameter which has 1,128 loudspeakers, each of which plays a different composition by Johann Sebastian Bach. All of the speakers are pointed at the centre of the room and they fire the totality of his life’s work onto the public.

This piece premiered as a part of Lozano-Hemmer’s show “Unstable Presence” the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal (MAC) in 2018. It has since been shown at MARCO in Monterrey, MX in 2019 and at SFMOMA in 2020.
