Nature is healing: New York Botanical Garden finally opens Yayoi Kusama Infinity Room

New York City has officially lifted all pandemic restrictions as cases of the coronavirus continue to decline in the state—and most importantly this means that the New York Botanical Garden will finally open Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Room this week. The work has only been viewable from the outside since the blockbuster exhibition Cosmic Nature opened at the garden in April after a year-long postponement. The newly-commissioned Infinity Mirrored Room—Illusion Inside the Heart (2020) comprises a cube-like glass structure with a reflective mirror-polished stainless steel surface pierced by small holes. The work “reflected the seasonality of the garden’s landscape”, a spokesman previously said of the tantalisingly out-of-reach room, but some wondered what the point of an Infinity Room was if you couldn’t go inside. There are separate, free timed tickets to enter the piece in addition to the $35 admission fee for the garden, which is already sold out for this weekend. Each visitor gets 30 minutes with the work, giving them plenty of time to perfect their selfies. Don’t feel like braving an hours-long queue this summer? You could have better luck at the Rubell Museum in Miami, which boasts two Infinity Rooms that each reopen this week after being closed since late March last year.
