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.
