Yoshitomo Nara and Installation by YNG, Blum and Poe Gallery, Los Angeles - 2009
Every time Nara creates an exhibition, there is a feel of nostalgia in the room, but this particular show at Blum and Poe (Nara's sixth with the gallery) took on the American West. With the help of YNG, Nara created a covered wagon that became the centerpiece of the exhibition, touching on the Oregon Trail and America's obsession with endless destiny. As Nara mentioned to us in the September Juxtapoz, "If I were in NYC, I would most likely not have come up with the idea for the wagon." Welcome to the Wild Wild West."
