Welcome to artist Yayoi Kusama’s Obliteration Room, a gallery exhibit in Brisbane, where kids were given stickers over two weeks to transform a blank white space with colored dots.  Sounds like a cool DIY project that you could try at your home if you’re brave enough.  While kid’s art projects can become big messes, I think the beauty here is the limits of the materials used – white background with only the colored dots given to the kids. So if you want to try this in a playroom at home, think about limiting the material palette before starting.  Let us know how it goes.

The kids will connect with Mike Stimpson’s black and white photographs because of the Lego figures, but it’s the grown-ups who will love their reference to classic black and white and color photographs.  Recognize Charles Ebbets’ 1932 photograph of steelworkers having lunch atop a New York skyscraper girder?
