Stickers and kids Queensland Gallery of Modern Art (Australia)

This week's post is about a very special project. As it involves space and change we thought it would be worthwhile to share on our blog.



In December, the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art installed a space where artist Yayoi Kusama constructed a large studio apartment like and painted every single thing - walls and furniture - in brilliant white. The installation, named the Obliteration Room, is part of the artist's "Look Now, See Forever" exhibition that runs through March 2012.


Over a period of two weeks, the youngest visitors were given thousands of colored dot stickers and were invited to spontaneously transform the white space into an explosion of colors. The white room changes drastically with the passage of time as the dots accumulate as a result of thousands of collaborators.


How amazing is that?
