| Yayoi Kusama 'The Passing Winter' Image taken from: roslynoxley9.com.au |
I was fortunate enough to be able to go and see Yayoi Kusama's exhibition at the Tate Modern last weekend. After having read about her work on the Tate Channel and having done some research on her, I was really keen to actually see her work in person. The exhibition is a series of “immersive environments” designed to take us through the phases of Kusama’s career. Her dot designs are seen on balloons in the foyer, but not in the exhibition itself, and a recent installation of a darkened sitting-room covered in fluorescent dots feels like a rather tame reprise of something that would have had more bite in the Sixties. The final room of the exhibition was one of her light installations, the mirrored coloured lightbulbs made for a magical viewing. Kusama's work evidents her physcological struggle.
