![]() ![]() Always taking inspiration from the artists and artworks on display at Tate Modern, UNIOLO Tate Play offers families new ways to play together and get creative, with over 147,000 people having taken part so far. New projects are staged each school holiday, alongside free activities and creative materials during term time. UNIOLO Tate Play was first launched in 202 l with the hugely popular installation: Ei Arakawa’s Mega Please Draw Freely, in which families could draw all over the floor of the Turbine Hall. Since the 1970s Kusama has lived in Tokyo, where she continues to work prolifically and to international acclaim. The artist has been the subject of exhibitions around the world, including a major travelling retrospective initiated by Tate Modern in 2012 and the recently extended exhibition of Infinity Mirror Rooms, now open until l l June 2023. The work reflects Kusama’s enduring obsessions with accumulation, obliteration, and becoming one with the artwork.īorn in 1929 in Matsumoto, Japan, Yayoi Kusama came to international attention in l 960s New York for a wide-ranging creative practice that has encompassed installation, painting, sculpture, fashion design and writing. Visitors are handed a sticker sheet of colourful dots with which to leave their mark on this stark interior, which slowly becomes transformed into a riot of colour. Originally commissioned by the Queensland Art Gallery in Australia, the installation consists of a completely white space fully furnished with entirely white furniture. The obliteration room is one of Kusama’s most ambitious interactive works. As well as having a chance to cover every available surface of the installation with bright circular stickers, families will also be able to create their own work of art to add to an ever-growing garden in the Turbine Hall. Yayoi Kusama’s The obliteration room opens on 23 July as part of UNIOLO Tate Play, Tate Modem’s free programme of playful art-inspired activities for families. Visitors of all ages will help transform a blank white apartment into a sea of colourful dots this summer 2022. Please sign up on the Tate’s website for updates on the release of tickets for 1 October onwards.Kusama is bringing a dotty playground for kids to decorate during the school summer holidays. Infinity Mirror Rooms needs to be booked in advance for a fee, however please note that at the time of writing, general release tickets have sold out until 30 September 2022, except for evening events (tickets are available for members). Obliteration Room is free of charge to gallery visitors. This is a wonderful opportunity for you, and your family, to be involved in a work by one of the world’s most exciting and popular contemporary artists. Obliteration Room began as a completely white space which, over time, will evolve into an explosion of colour with the addition of coloured stickers, which visitors are invited to use. In addition to Kusama’s highly acclaimed, wonderfully hypnotic Infinity Mirror Rooms installation at the Tate Modern (which, due to demand, has been extended to June 2023), the gallery is also hosting her Obliteration Room installation where visitors can add to the development of the finished piece. ![]() ![]() Yayoi Kusama at the Tate Modern: Infinity Mirror Rooms and Obliteration Room ![]()
