February 4, 2015: Yayoi Kusama's "Obliteration Room"

[Undertoad]

My Modern Metropolis features this item today; on a Queensland Art Gallery installation by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, "The Obliteration Room".

Started back on December 6, 2014 and through April 19, 2015, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is once again showing The Obliteration Room.

As GOMA states, "When leading contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama was a young girl, she started seeing the world through a screen of tiny dots. They covered everything she saw – the walls, ceilings, and even her own body. In her artwork, Kusama has used dots to cover many different surfaces and fill rooms. She calls this process 'obliteration', which means the complete destruction of every trace of something."
