Kusama’s Obliteration Room

A collaborative art installation at the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (@QAGGoMA) which is the work of Japanese artist Yayoi Kasumana. The exhibition Yayoi Kusama: Look Now, See Forever features the stunning ‘Obliteration Room’

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is one of the most significant and influential artists working today. The Gallery has had a long working relationship with Kusama, and her installations Soul under the moon 2002 and Narcissus garden 1966/2002 are among the most popular works in the Gallery’s Collection.

‘Look Now, See Forever’ transforms the dramatic spaces of the Gallery of Modern Art with a series of spectacular immersive rooms, featuring new sculptures and paintings as well as film projection and installation. Showcasing Kusama’s innovative work with colour, form, space and perception, this exhibition shows a senior artist at the peak of her powers.

Revel in the vibrant and playful works of Kusama by adding colourful dots to The obliteration room, a popular interactive installation first commissioned by the Queensland Art Gallery for Kids’ APT in 2002.

Space Invaders

Earlier this week I happened to see this amazing little guy while walking to purchase some network cables.

Space Invaders

Merriweather of the Derringdos posted about Cologne Space Invader which started a mini investigation to see if this is a “real” Invader mosaic.

This one is at the base of a doorway in Carlton, Melbourne Australia, and does appear to be an Invader work. Now to find some more :)
