Cosmic Themes in Contemporary Art: Exhibitions, Publications, and Astrological Planning
At the Michael Hoppen Gallery in London, Kikuji Kawada's exhibition titled 'The Last Cosmology' showcases pieces from 1989 and the late 1990s, including the print 'Setting Sun to a Triangular Pyramid, Tokyo, 1989,' which is listed at £10,000 plus VAT. MACK books is set to release 'The Last Cosmology' in spring 2015, following the success of Kawada's photobook 'The Map,' which fetched £12,500 at Christie's in 2010. Projects by Katie Paterson include 'All The Dead Stars' (2009) and a 2012 artist's book. Matt Mullican employs color codes to classify human experiences. The New Museum Triennial is scheduled to commence on February 25, 2015, with astrologer Morgan Rehbock providing insights for the date. Olafur Eliasson appeared in a Soulland sweatshirt on the cover of ArtReview in December 2014.
