The current installation of Yayoi Kusama’s popular interactive children’s project has taken the work to a new scale, filling our Children’s Art Centre gallery on Level 1 at GOMA.
This space has been transformed into a series of domestic—style rooms, reminiscent of the average Australian home, filled with furniture and objects painted entirely white. This functions as a blank canvas that becomes ‘obliterated’ over the course of the exhibition through the application of brightly coloured dot stickers.
This series of images shows ‘The obliteration room‘ in its pristine state before the exhibition opened, along with the application of the very first dot stickers.
You can revel in ‘The obliteration room‘ during ‘Yayoi Kusama: Look Now, See Forever‘, on display at GOMA until 11 March 2012. You can also read more about Yayoi Kusama and the exhibition at our dedicated website.

Yes, she’s fabulous. Yesterday I saw a piece on the BBC World News showing her appearance at the opening of her Tate retrospective, resplendently dressed in red and white polka dots and crowned with an ‘electrifying red’ wig – a pretty special octogenarian. I wondered where I had seen the something like the Obliteration Room before, and now I realise it was in my hometown. GoMA Brisbane, you rock!
