Yayoi Kusama: In Infinity

While at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen I got to see Yayoi Kusama In Infinity exhibition. It was a thought provoking exhibition to say the least, Kusama’s installations are a delightful immersive experience.

Kusama is a phenomenon, she is an artist of extreme and extremely variable works. She has been a maker of happenings, orgies and performances, and a political and sexual activist. She performed a theatrical gay wedding in New York in 1968, designing a conjoined polka-dotted outfit for the happy couple. She has been an installation artist, dress designer, art dealer, sculptor, pianist, poet and novelist.

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen

I visited the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen this weekend.

Wow…. What an amazing museum, it definitely is one of my new favourites! Not only does it have a diverse range of modern art but the building itself is gorgeous, and set so beautifully in the Danish countryside on the outskirts of Copenhagen. It was designed by architects Jørgen Bo and Wilhlem Wohlert in the 1950’s. For more information on the history of the building click here.

I spent four years at the Centre for the Creative Arts and Media (GMIT), first for my degree in Art and Design, and then to specialise in Design in Textiles. I really enjoyed my time there. And now I’m finished! Very strange, but I’m so excited for now and the next stage for me.

Congratulations to all the graduates xx
