"to: Night" brings together a selection of artworks which explore the theme of night using a variety of approaches. Curated by Joachim Pissarro, Mara Hoberman and Julia Moreno, this exhibition opens at coincides with the exhibition of "Van Gogh at Night" at The Museum of Modern Art curated by Joachim Pissarro, Adjunct Curator of the exhibition and co-author of the catalogue. The exhibition features work by over forty artists and focuses mainly on works created since 2000, but also includes important historical works from the 1960s-90s. In the context of this exhibition, “night” is taken as a descriptive term which encompasses a wide range of meanings and associations—from the literal to the psychological. This vast subject is divided into thematic sub-categories, which range in character from romantic to disquieting. Included in these sub-categories are works that relate to, among other topics: celestial bodies, the “after-hours” urban experience, sleep, the nocturnal impact on color and light perception, surveillance, and voyeurism. to: Night explores the cultural, emotional, environmental, political, and aesthetic implications of the nocturnal as represented through a wide range of artistic interpretations and media. Seen together, the works included in to: Nightoffer a rich and diverse portrait of our complex, multi-layered perceptions of night.
