Dream Yayoi Kusama
Yayoi Kusama, Obliteration Room
Yayoi Kusama has become synonymous with dots, infinity nets and pumpkins. Since coming to prominence in New York in the 1960s, she has expanded her creative practice to include installation, painting, sculpture, fashion design and writing. The obliteration room, which opens at Tate Modern on 23 July, reflects her enduring obsession with repetition, obliteration and interactivity. Originally conceived as a project for children by the Queensland Art Gallery in 2002, it consists of a white space, fully furnished with white furniture. Visitors are invited to cover every available surface with colourful dot stickers, transforming the room from a blank canvas into an explosion of colour.
