Yayoi Kusama’s Obliteration Room

An interactive setting created by Yayoi Kusama is currently on exhibit at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art. The project started out as a whitewashed home interior as a blank canvas for children visiting the museum. This masterpiece is titled “The Obliteration Room” where by the children could cover the interior with colourful dots with sharing art through layering.

Visitors would leave their experience on the space, therefore creating a manifestation within the exhibit. Through the creation of this innocent randomness of the children’s choices, a pleasure of some form of order emerges. The impulse that one would have to cover a new white space, or to even cluster around a social crowd of others is what I find intriguing.

Comment by Danielle on January 31, 2012 at 7:55: I wish we had that here. I actually drove past a house yesterday and they had covered their green fencing with plain white metal walls if i can describe it that way, It had graffiti on and i thought that it would be brilliant to do the same :)

Very interesting comment Danielle, trying to work out where I would place my first dot:)

Comment by Danielle on January 31, 2012 at 8:21: Id place it on the roof to start it off. I think a single dot on the roof will be quite abstract
