![]() In this new project, Kusama’s obsession with repetition and accumulation comes to the forefront, the blank space offered by Tate Modern serves as the base on which a big group of people will leave their mark, simultaneously honoring the artist as they create a majestic artwork. The fact that there are objects in the space makes it easier to create depth once polka dots start accumulating. The space is created as a monochrome living room, with chairs and furniture all painted in white. Visitors to the show will add to an expanding constellation of dots by bringing their own stickers. The Obliteration Room, a white, empty space ready to be decorated with Kusama’s distinctive polka dots, will be open to visitors’ participation. The Tate Modern is giving visitors the chance to get involved in the creation and completion of a Kusama piece this summer. Polka dots have appeared frequently in her work: Her Infinity Mirror Rooms, immersive installations that give the impression of eternity by reflecting polka dots eternally, are one such example. Polka dots hold a special meaning for the well-known Japanese artist, who is known for her spotted works. Following her collaboration with the New York Botanical Garden, the artist is now creating an Obliteration Room at Tate Modern, offering her herds of fans the chance to collaborate in a polka-dotted installation. Yayoi Kusama is an almost universally beloved artist. ![]()
