How much fun is this?!
Entitled "The Obliteration Room," it is actually an art installation by Yayoi Kusama at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia. The concept was to start with a stark, modern, sparkling white living space; every single surface including the smallest of accessories was painted white...upon which point the room was offered up as an enormous blank canvas to 1000 children.
They intervened with tens of thousands of round colored stickers, and were instructed to go wild with them over a period of two weeks, which resulted in brightly colored {and I think beautiful!} chaos.
LOVE this! what a great way to get children creatively engaged
ReplyDeleteThis is so creative and cool! And what fun it must have been for the kiddos
ReplyDeleteI saw this when I was in Australia! It was so cool. My son, Gus, was desperate to get his hands on it, so when we went home my hubby painted a wall in his room white and Gus went nuts. Didn't do much for the resale value of our house, but he can't reach higher than four feet so who cares? It looks fabulous. Also the stickers seem to peel off quite easily, the kid keeps changing his mind about what he wants it to look like! Today it looks a bit like life in a world post-confetti cannon explosion to me, but Gus tells me it's supposed to be a city.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful! How fun! Thanks for sharing!:)
