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.

Add Comment This looks super cool! It would look so crazy if we had a huge planet like Jupiter or Saturn filling up the night sky! Here is a little trick to help you solve big math problems! Another good eye-opener on the size of the universe we live in. What a weird-looking creature! It's certainly very determined and devoted to it's tasks and young. Possessing this knowledge will give you superpowers to save the world! Ok maybe not, but interesting stuff nonetheless. Although it will still cost you around $1500 or $2000. Still super sweet though! |
