#YokoOno: Wish Tree for Washington, DC is on view virtually and in person at the @Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, through April 30, 2021. For the first time, @yokoono has given @hirshhorn permission to open Wish Tree on @Instagram with #WishTreeDC (April 15-30). Let’s wish virtually: 1. Make a wish.... 2. Write it down. 3. Take a photo or video your handwritten wish. 4. Post the photo or video to Instagram tagging #WishTreeDC #YokoOno #Hirshhorn 5. Ask your friends to do the same. Find all #WishTreeDC wishes on the Hirshhorn's website. Like many of Ono’s artworks, Wish Tree is transformative. Every summer, visitors write and tie wishes to the branches of a living dogwood until it ‘blooms’ with thousands of paper tags, an archive of hopes in our garden. Since 2007, the Hirshhorn staff has ‘pruned’ every wish tied to the artwork. As directed by the artist, we send them to Ono’s Imagine Peace Tower in Reykjavik, Iceland. A gift from the artist in 2007, Wish Tree for Washington, DC has collected more than 100,000 wishes. Images: 1.

The artist #TarikuShiferaw (@abstractexit) shares about his new, site-specific installation "Jerusalema (Master KG)" (2021) which embodies both the artist’s lived experience of Black joy and his childhood in Los Angeles, California, creating an environment where reality and fantasy exist on the same plain. Tomorrow, at 2pm EDT, the artist will be in conversation with art historian, collector, and author #CharlesMoore (@champagneandvitamins). Titled "Let my Hair Down," the speakers will discuss the use of mark-making in the artist’s personal practice and in contemporary art. Link in bio to register.

On view now TARIKU SHIFERAW (@abstractexit) It's a love thang, it's a joy thang On view through May 15, 2021 Exceptionally open till 7pm today with limited capacity. The artist will be in attendance.... Follow link in bio to see individual artworks in the show A new site-specific installation "Jerusalema (Master KG)" (2021) embodies both the artist’s lived experience of Black joy and his childhood in Los Angeles, California, creating an environment where reality and fantasy exist on the same plain. A live palm tree in the middle centers the visitor’s attention, an immediate place-maker reminiscent of Shiferaw’s time spent in the neighborhoods of L.A. and a nod to how palm trees are often used to demarcate spaces of relaxation.

Last chance to see #MildredThompson's solo exhibition "Throughlines: Assemblages and Works on Paper from the 1960s to 1990s." We are open till 6pm today. Pictured here are freestanding wood works from the "Vespers Series." Made in the mid-1990s, they resemble the inner bodies of pianos and violins hidden from the musician’s eye, their curves and linearities eliciting an emotional tone. Simultaneously during that period, Thompson began her "Music of the Spheres" paintings which endeavored to make visible the sound and vibrational patterns found in planetary orbits and astrophysics.
