This summer the traveling retrospective of Yayoi Kusama's work is making its final stop at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The exhibit offers an overview of the artist's work spanning 60 years of her practice and featuring more than 300 works. An intimate and entertaining examination of the artists life, the retrospective has been sparking the interests and imaginations of viewers across the globe as it's traveled from the Tate Modern in London, to the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte in Madrid.
On view at the retrospective you can expect Kusama's beautifully dense dot patterns, her Accumulation sculptures; which feature everyday objects (chairs, sofas, suitcases, and shoes) covered in an overwhelming mass of protruding phallic-like fabric. Photo collages, new paintings, and large-scale environments will also envelop the viewer within Kusama's surreal world. In the main lobby of the museum, art seekers can enter a wonderfully immersive and celestial environment entitled Fireflies on the Water. Entering one by one, Kusama’s dazzling den is an experience of seemingly endless space with mirrored walls, 150 hanging lights, and a pool of water.

BALLET
This past Tuesday marked the return of Ángel Corella to New York City Center with his dance company Barcelona Ballet, which until recently was known as Corella Ballet. This year we find the primier danseur and his troupe doing things a bit differently than their 2010 appearance, most notably with the world premiere of the third and final set, Pálpito.
Choreographed by Spanish dancers Ángel Rojas and Carlos Rodríguez, Pálpito is a mixture of several traditional Spanish styles of dance infused with a classical ballet influence. Set to a score by Héctor González, the performance is haunting and driving at the same time, filled with eerie flamenco vocals and magical tango rhythm and strings, a mixture of Spanish heartbeats with striking and ornate Spanish flavored costumes by Vicente Soler. Pálpito also marks Ángel Corella’s only appearance of the evening and it is well worth the wait. With each twist and turn Corella shows strength, stamina, and grace as his energy practically erupts from the stage during his intense and contemporary solo.
Its final viewing tonight, Barcelona Ballet with a new name, a new style, and new choreography shows that its artistic growth and development continues as this young company vies to establish it self further as Spain's only classical ballet company.

FLORENT: QUEEN OF THE MEAT MARKET
AT CINEMA VILLAGE THEATRE
We’ve got a craving for old New York and director David Sigal is serving it in spades. Florent: Queen of the Meat Market chronicles the story of the now legendary defunct diner, which for 23 years was herald as the meeting place of a-list celebrities, club kids, trannies, artists, musicians, and the colorful late night crowd of the “downtown” after hours scene. Through interviews and vintage clips Sigal portrays a vivid record of an extraordinary era in the New York City’s history and remind us bitterly of our city’s battle with brutal remorseless gentrification. Join actress Julianne Moore, designer Isaac Mizhrahi, and artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude (to name a few) as they recount the glory that was once this beacon of cultural diversity and gay activism. We’re sure you’ll be left hungry for the place that once was.
