Yayoi Kusama - The obliteration room (2011)
The obliteration room 2011 revisits the popular interactive children’s project developed by Yayoi Kusama for the Queensland Art Gallery’s ‘APT 2002: Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’. In this reworked and enlarged installation, an Australian domestic environment is recreated in the gallery space, complete with locally sourced furniture and ornamentation, all of which has been painted completely white. While this may suggest an everyday topography drained of all colour and specificity, it also functions as a blank canvas to be invigorated — or, in Kusama’s vocabulary, ‘obliterated’ — through the application, to every available surface, of brightly coloured stickers in the shape of dots.
As with many of Kusama’s installations, the work is disarmingly simple in its elemental composition; however, it brilliantly exploits the framework of its presentation. The white room is gradually obliterated over the course of the exhibition, the space changing measurably with the passage of time as the dots accumulate as a result of thousands and thousands of collaborators.

ADTR STOPS MIDSET TO HELP A FAN.

My god the love I have for these people.<3
“ADTR is just a band full of shitty people”. I’m sorry how many bands have stopped their timed set on Warped Tour to help out one single fan? I don’t think I’ve heard of any. They fucking care about their music and their fans. Everyone needs to stop bitching about their personal lives. You don’t even fucking know them.
