When I first heard that Yoshitomo Nara's LACMA retrospective was going to have an installation of some of the records the artist listens to while he works, I was intrigued. When I found out that the display was going to be an entire wall of 352 records and I was going to be one of the preparators to work on it, I was super thrilled. I've always been really into music, and the thought of getting to flip through a famous artist's record collection was really exciting to me.See, some of my earliest memories growing up are of my two favorite toys when I was a toddler.
