Yoshitomo Nara
All My Little Words
Albertina Modern, Vienna, Austria
Albertina Modern is pleased to present All My Little Words, an exhibition focusing on Yoshitomo Nara’s multifaceted oeuvre of drawings and works on paper, created over a forty-year period. The exhibition ranges from early experimental works on paper and a number of paintings and sculptures, to an expansive installation. The drawings, which Nara sometimes scribbles almost casually on slips of paper, envelopes, flyers, or corrugated cardboard, show the direct influence of music, literature, sub and pop culture that express the artist’s sociopolitical concerns: they negotiate social values, norms, and ideals in a diaristic manner.
