Yayoi Kusama: Earth is a Polka Dot (2015) [video]

The first art installation is a permanent one in the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. I got a chance to visit it when I was traveling over there last summer, absolutely surreal experience as you're surrounded by an infinite plane of pulsing colorful dots in all directions. After a few minutes, you reopen the door into the basement of the museum and you start to wonder where the hell you're mind wandered off to.

I had the pleasure of seeing Yayoi Kusama’s work at the Tate Modern when I visited London in 2011. Her work really left an impact on me.

Aesthetically, her art is hard to define and almost alien. Yet I felt a strange emotional depth to it. There is a kaleidoscope of emotions in her work, and I think that is what really spoke to me.

The Hirshhorn had her Infinity Mirrors exhibition on display recently: https://hirshhorn.si.edu/kusama/

It was amazing, and well worth getting the chance to see.

There was an interesting article in The Guardian recently about several exhibitions specifically of fake Kusama works in China: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/29/yayoi-kusama-r...

There is an exhibition of her work on at the Victoria Miro gallery in Islington, London at the moment. It's currently sold out but apparently they'll be releasing some more tickets:

In qagoma (Brisbane) the kids room was a technicolor sea of dots floor to ceiling. A most impressive community art engagement. She's one of the most popular artists to have a retrospective shown here. (The Asia Pacific Triannual shows her work too I think)
