This December, in a surprisingly simple yet ridiculously amazing installation for the Queensland Gallery of Modern Ar, artist Yayoi Kusama
constructed a large domestic environment, painting every wall, chair,
table, piano, and household decoration a brilliant white, effectively
serving as a giant white canvas. Over the course of two weeks, the
museum’s smallest visitors were given thousands upon thousands of
colored dot stickers and were invited to collaborate in the
transformation of the space, turning the house into a vibrantly mottled
explosion of color. How great is this? Given the opportunity my son
could probably cover the entire piano alone in about fifteen minutes.
The installation, entitled The Obliteration Room, is part of Kusama’s Look Now, See Forever exhibition that runs through March 12.
