Whatever you make of the buzz surrounding large-scale shows like the Renwick’s WONDER, Dupont Underground’s Raise/Raze, and even the forthcoming giant rooster atop the National Gallery’s East Building, we can all agree that it’s much more acceptable than groveling over cupcakes, right? Either way, prepare for much clamoring over a splashy show slated for next year: a retrospective of the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.

While single exhibitions of her works have drawn crowds in Los Angeles and New York, the Hirshhorn is mounting a major show that looks at five decades of Kusama’s work in relation to her famous series of mirror rooms.

Opening in February, the show will include begin chronologically with the legendary “Infinity Mirror Room—Phalli’s Field,” in which spotted, stuffed phalluses are reflected back from every angle, and conclude with “The Obliteration Room,” where visitors stick dots to a stark-white vision of suburbia. In total, the exhibition will feature six “kaleidescopic environments,” two-large scale installations, plus paintings and sculptures that date as far back as the early 1950s.

“Yayoi Kusama is among the most influential artists alive today,” said Hirshhorn director Melissa Chiu. “A worldwide phenomenon, she has created a vast oeuvre that defies traditional classification, and we are honored to present the first survey of her Infinity Mirror Rooms.” The 87-year-old artist, who first gained fame with nudity and polka-dot filled anti-war activism in New York, continues to work out of her studio in Tokyo.

Brace yourself for a crash course in Kusama, whether you plan on attending or just plan to open Instagram between February and May of next year.
