The interactive Obliteration Room (2012) begins as an entirely white space, furnished as a monochrome living room, which people are then invited to “obliterate” with multi-coloured stickers.
It was first conceived as a project for children, and was first staged at the Queensland Art Gallery in 2002.
Yayoi Kusama (草間 彌生, 1929) is a Japanese contemporary artist who works primarily in sculpture and installation, but is also active in painting, performance, video art, fashion, poetry, fiction, and other arts.
Her work is based in conceptual art and shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism, and is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content. She has been acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan.
In an early documented performance, Walking Piece (1966), Kusama walked along the streets of New York City in a traditional Japanese kimono while holding a parasol.
Design or Art? Both, with the welcome interaction of real people in the creative process.
