When you give kids thousands of stickers...

One of my most favorite artists, Yayoi Kusama, currently has an installation at the Queensland Galley of Modern Art entitled Look Now, See Forever. The installation is composed of multiple rooms that immerse the viewer into her creative genius. My favorite of the rooms, The Obliteration Room, offers the museums youngest visitors thousands of stickers to place wherever they wish all over an all-white room, complete with piano, couches, kitchen table, etc. The domestic environment is painted white, serving as a giant canvas for guests to "sticker up". Take a look...





I always tend to gravitate to installation art that involves the viewer, especially ones that the viewer can alter themselves.
