THE Katonah Museum of Art (KMA) presents two special exhibitions — Miniature Worlds: Joseph Cornell, Ray Johnson, Yayoi Kusama And John O’Reilly: Workshop Tours — and two facilities — The Rothko Room And Visual Conversations: An Assembly Studio – on view until June 25.

Miniature Worlds: Joseph Cornell, Ray Johnson, Yayoi Kusama explores the friendships between Joseph Cornell and two pioneering artists – Ray Johnson and Yayoi Kusama – and brings together their works for the first time in this context. By delving into the visual conversations, deep resonances and shared sensibilities that emerged from these two individual relationships, the exhibition offers rare insight into the role social media plays in the process of artistic creation.

The show examines the leading role Cornell played in the lives and careers of these two young artists. Like all relationships, these two friendships were microcosms unto themselves, with their own histories, languages, and complex emotional terrains. The intimate, small-scale works featured in this exhibition were shaped by and reflect the profound impact of these miniature worlds.

Also on view at KMA:

  • John O’Reilly: Workshop Tours — John O’Reilly’s intricate Polaroid montages play with themes of artistic influence, aesthetic pleasure and sexuality.
  • The Rothko Room — For the fifth and final edition of The Rothko Roomthe KMA presents “Untitled (1969)”, an acrylic on wallpaper painted during the last year of Rothko’s life.
  • Visual Conversations: An Assembly Studio — At the Pollack Family Learning Center, visitors are invited to create their own visual conversations through collage and assembly boxes.
