With all the controversy and headaches surrounding its failed “bubble” project finally in the past, the Hirshhorn is celebrating its 40th anniversary with both a new director—Melissa Chiu, former director of New York’s Asia Society—and newly renovated third-floor outer-ring galleries. Restored to the original design of architect Gordon Bunshaft, who also designed New York’s Lever House, the third-floor galleries will host their first show in almost a year, featuring museum collection gems by Louise Bourgeois, Brice Marden, Isa Genzken, Alighiero e Boetti, and Bruce Nauman. Highlights will include Janine Antoni’s self-portrait busts made out of chocolate and soap and Ernesto Neto’s “The Dangerous Logic of Wooing,” a giant white, bulbous sculpture suspended from the ceiling, which visitors can actually, for once in their museum-going lives, touch. It looks like the Hirshhorn is finally getting back on track—hopefully its next project will be to fix its website, which is so convoluted and dysfunctional, it must be a performance piece. Opening Oct. 16 and on view indefinitely at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Free.
