The obliteration room
One of QAGOMA’s most popular interactive installations will return home to Brisbane this month, following an extensive tour around the world, during which more than three million cast their eyes over its colourful beauty. Japanese contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama’s The obliteration room is a fun, engaging exhibition for children and children at heart, who can help add vibrant dot stickers to transform the previously all-white domestic space into a colour-splashed zone. The obliteration room coincides with the gallery’s current focus on Japan, including exhibitions Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion and We can make another future: Japanese art after 1989.
