Kengo Kito: Unity on Hudson

The Hudson River Museum opened a new wing, overlooking the Hudson and it's first exhibit was a really unique one! "Unity on the Hudson" by Japanese artist Kengo Kito featured over 2,000 hula hoops interconnected all over the gallery space. 
Kito is particularly drawn to hula hoops, not only because of their appeal for children and adults alike but also because of the resonance of circles in Zen Buddhist philosophy. I personally loved the whimsy and how the hoops filled the space and no matter where I looked there were new connections and shadows!

Wow! That is a lot of hula hoops. The teacher of the very young brain is very lively....how many colours do you see? How many green? How many red? Add them up. Also....can't you just imagine at least one small child pulling one out to hula hoop with? :)
The building is so bright and open. I'm sure every exhibit there will be showcased beautifully. The view of the water adds to the way the art is seen.
I even like saying this person's name!
