Artworks by 19 participating artists are at times playful and poignant, including: Jim Hodges's eerily captivating pink crystal skull, divided in two, forming a (broken) heart; Felix Gonzalez - Torres's poetic light strands and touching
brass rings; Louise Bourgeois's hand - sewn couple merged at the belly; Ron Mueck's miniature yet monumental spooning couple; Juan Muñoz's wall - mounted men sharing a hearty laugh at each other's expense; Katharina Fritsch's fantastical octopus embodying fear, control, and helplessness; Yinka Shonibare MBE's headless ballerinas concealing revolvers behind their colorful skirts; and Maurizio Cattelan's slyly humorous pair of inverted
police officers,
which take on a new resonance in the wake of recent violence and protest.
