On Kawara – Silence

What: One of the most anticipated shows of 2015's art season, this retrospective of Japanese artist On Kawara shares a life's work that helped create the conceptual art movement. But "retrospective" isn't quite the right word, for as curator Jeffrey Weiss points out, On's extremely disciplined methodologies and conscious choice never to stray from them meant the artist's work changed very little over his career. This devotion to practice created a stunning (and massive) trove of meticulous collections: thirty years of daily postcards stamped with the time the artist awoke, small canvases with the date each was created in stark white paint, and perhaps his best-known work, a list of every date from one million years before his conception through one million years after it.
