There are so many things to love about her.
I almost screamed when I walked out of Central train station in Sydney after a long flight from Osaka late last December, and met Yayoi. There she was.
Of course if you already know my sometimes imaginary way of language expression, you might ask twice. Yayoi was plastered on the city bus stop in her pink fabulousness, advertising a FREE exhibition at the delightful Museum of Contemporary Art down near the Opera House and Circular Quay. A free exhibition of Yayoi Kusama. Free! It was certainly a "MERRY Christmas Janelle" moment.
Today walking home from Umeda, I stopped in at the Visitor's Centre just near JR Osaka station there to see what was happening.

(Foreigner's Live Art Guide)
(Currently under construction, but very COOL title page.)
is a 'flagged' event for Yayoi; the "Multiplying Room", being held in Minami Semba until November 8. A mini leap of JOY I had.
Explore this Yayoi website (in English) for more details of this show, get some inspiration, and wow wow wow factor vividness alive. Enjoy!

Anonymous, hello to you,
ReplyDeleteThe day after I posted this, a birthday parcel arrived from favourite friend Fizz in LONDON.
Inside, a red and white dotty ring chunky, and a sketchpad mini (WALKING in my MIND) with the perfect title, DOTS Obsession by Y.K.
My new adored things.
YES.
Via Minami I will go for sure.
For sure.
Love the "six sense" idea.
Powers of.
Thanks TS.
