    'Yayoi Kusama
    Child's Play: Art Piece Sees Room Covered in Colourful Stickers

    What do you get when you let loose a group of children armed with coloured stickers on a white room? A work of art!

    An artist has created a work in which youngsters are encouraged to express themselves on walls, floor, furniture and ceiling.

    Yayoi Kusama's The Obliteration Room features a domestic living space in pure white, complete with sofas, bookcases, vases and a television.

    The room then slowly takes on a vibrant new appearance as visitors are allowed to place thousands of stickers anywhere they want.

    Dan Cameron of the Queensland Art Gallery explains: "In this 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."

    The obliteration room is part of the exhibition 'Yayoi Kusama: Look Now, See Forever', a survey of the artist's current practice showing at the Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia until March 11, 2012.
