Marc Jacobs is a man reckoning with his past. His show notes said as much: “Memories, both bittersweet and beautiful, are a faculty of purpose, influencing current and future actions—who we are, what we create, what we leave behind, and what we carry forward.” For the first time in two years we were back at the Park Avenue Armory, an on-again, off-again show venue of Jacobs’s. Tonight, the Brobdingnian folding table and chairs by the late artist Robert Therrien from that spring 2024 show were shrunken down to life size, and positioned at the far corner of the enormous space. Perched on the table was a small painting by Anna Weyant, commissioned just last week, of a daisy, its petals plucked and pinned like scientific specimens or keepsakes in a scrapbook. To see the painting required a walk across the Armory; from the distance of the single row of chairs where the audience sat, it was vanishingly small.
