Kusamatrix is a new and complex series
of environmental installations by Japanese artist Kusama Yayoi that
offers a unique encounter with the development of her work. While
walking through this art-autobiographical web, specially designed
for the Mori Art Museum by the artist, you will experience the powerful
world of Kusama's "matrix" In rooms emblazoned with the artist's trademark
polka dots and mirrors, the experience includes her pioneering installations
of the 1960s and the very latest, previously unseen, videos and three-dimensional
environments based on her recent drawings of fashionable young girls.
Kusama Yayoi is now a seminal figure in contemporary art. With 1960s
New York as her stage, she first stormed the art world by advocating
the transformation of society through happenings, performances and
installations. In the work shown here, which developed out of her
dot and net filled visual fantasies and auditory hallucinations that
first fuelled her paintings, she invites visitors to lose themselves,
to become part of it and, for a moment, to step beyond their own previous
experience. Kusama Yayoi |
