Obliteration Room uses kids and thousands of stickers to go from plain to colorful
What happens when you give thousands of kids thousands of colored dot stickers, and turn them loose in a completely white room? Art! Turning to the general public for inspiration worked well for the?Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, so it's not surprising that artists are doing the same thing.
Japanese artist?Yayoi Kusama started with a room painted entirely in pristine white. Everything from the walls, floor, and ceiling to the table, chairs, and piano were perfectly white. She then unleashed the smallest visitors to the?Gallery of Modern Art at the Queensland Art Gallery, armed with thousand of colorful dot stickers.
The result is a crazy riot of color, both revealing and hiding the forms and shapes of the objects in the room and providing the installation's name: the?Obliteration Room. Kusama's work has frequently had an element of interactivity, and the spaces of the Obliteration Room change gradually as visitors add more and more dots to the environment. The installation is part of Kusama's "Look Now, See Forever" exhibit at GOMA, and runs through March 11. If you happen to be in Australia, be sure to check it out!
