Practical InfoĪ 3-min walk from the Millennium Bridge, London Tickets She is undoubtedly a very important figure in both minimalism and pop art. The new Obliteration Room As part of Pavilion Tokyo 2021 going on until 5 Sept 2021, Yayoi Kusama has set up a purely white installation made up of different rooms that need to be filled up with polka dot stickers. Kusama has been acknowledged to be one of the most important living artists in the world. Recently though, Yayoi Kusama has opened a new and special Obliteration Room which visitors can lend a hand in completing. Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese contemporary artist, best known for her infinity room installations (currently available to visit in Tate Modern), and her polka dotted artworks, and fashion designs. Visitors are free to place their stickers anywhere they like, such as on the floor, on the furniture, on the artificial plants, and on any everyday object within the rooms. The apartment has four different rooms, including a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and playroom all furnished with white furniture. Visitors are invited to transform a completely white apartment into a riot of colours by using bright coloured round stickers.Įach visitor is handed a sticker sheet with different sized colourful dots and encouraged to place those stickers everywhere they like within the apartment. The experience is part of UNIQLO Tate Play, Tate Modern’s free programme of playful art-inspired Summer activities. The Obliteration Room is an interactive room, inviting families to become part of a creative artwork.

Collaboration between Yayoi Kusama and Queensland Art Gallery. Yayoi Kusama, The obliteration room 2002-present. Now it's your turn to experience this fun and engaging work of art.
By the mid-1960s Kusama had become well known in the art world for her provocative happenings and exhibitions.įor almost 70 years Kusama has been engaged in a practice encompassing painting, collage, sculpture, performance, film, installation and environmental art, as well as literature, product design and fashion, including a collaboration with Louis Vuitton in 2012. The obliteration room is a reflection of this hallucinogenic vision, as well as a way of embracing the whole world in a kind of overall pattern.īorn 1929, Kusama studied painting in Kyoto before moving to New York in the late 1950s. The work relates to hallucinations Kusama began to experience in childhood, where her vision was clouded by spots. The goal of the installation is to inspire the artist inside us all. Moving away from the traditional restrictions of a Gallery space, it encourages everyone to touch, engage and create in an entirely self-directed way. The white walls, ceiling, furniture and objects in the space will be obliterated over time by the mass build-up of dots into a dizzying blur of colour as visitors apply brightly coloured stickers in various sizes to every surface. The iconic installation that has made waves overseas begins as a New Zealand living room drained of colour which will function as a blank canvas ready to be invigorated. Avant-garde Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s The obliteration room family-friendly participatory installation is making the Gallery's Creative Learning Centre home on Saturday 9 December.
